    there are listings for stamps on ebay, some are 'for philatelic use only' i.e. used, unfranked but also listings for new stamps - personally I would check the sellers history and feedback carefully!

    I wasn't trying to promote fraud, though I accept I could have worded more clearly. I was trying to point out that not all the listings were for stamps that were valid for use.

    Or are you asserting that all stamps on ebay are dodgy?

    Buy a stack of them through Viking and get cash back through topcashback.
  • Costco sell stamps at a reduced rate, and Makro have recently started to too. You do, however, need to buy in bulk.
