    Just had my presentation pack of stamps. Is it better just to use these as normal stamps or do you find you can get more money back for them selling on ebay? 
    I just let them accumulate and have never sold them. Since being with Kantar/Spectos I have about £400 worth and about 12 Presentation packs. It's reassuring to know they will always go up in value.

    I'm due to start another UA survey on 31 July however there is no UA Mail survey section showing on the app - I did query this with Spectos when it vanished but (no surprise) have not had a response to my ticket.  Should I try emailing them or just wait and see if it re-appears in time for Monday?
    I would just wait and see.

    Even if you emailed them today, you’re unlikely to get any response for at least 2 weeks!

    You're not going to get anywhere near face value by selling these on ebay. If you've got hundreds of stamps, prefer the money, and don't mind selling them below value (as they've not cost you anything) then sell them on. If you want to get the most value and think you will use them, then hang on and use them as ordinary stamps as and when. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Contacted them via chat on the website - seemed very helpful but we'll wait and see if anything is actually resolved ...

    In my experience it usually pops up on the App over the weekend. I would just wait till at least the day you’re supposed to start the UA survey.

    Not for a long time - unless you have River Wildlife https://shop.royalmail.com/special-stamp-issues/river-wildlife and you got the error printing.  Those might go for more than face value to a collector.  
    I need to think of something new here...

    When thie swapout scheme started I was buying stamps on ebay for around half price. That was my target. The probelm with selling stamps is that they are as good as cash. It is easy to be robbed.
