Vrlo korisni savjeti o prodaji poštanskih maraka u StampWorldu:

  • U slučaju da još niste primili uplatu od kupca, možete upotrijebiti ikonu Pismo/Omotnica da mu/joj pošaljete poruku. Možete napisati poruku kupcu ako ne odgovori u roku od 5 do 10 dana. Ako ne odgovore u roku od 10 dana, uplatu možete označiti kao "Nije primljeno" (narančasti gumb odmah iznad plavog gumba Uplata primljena). Ako ste kliknuli na "Nije primljeno", transakcija će biti poništena, a marka će nakon toga biti ponovno označena za prodaju kako bi je ostali zainteresirani korisnici mogli kupiti.

As of the moment, credit card payments are not accepted when paying for stamps.

Catalogue symbols

In the sample image above, you will see that the total number of (Penny Black) stamps issued is 68,158,080 pieces. As for the rest of the symbols, the numbers below them represent how much the stamp is depending on their condition (and the seller's asking price). You will see that there is a "Used" stamp available for sale, which costs 150 Euro.

  • You can encourage buyers to order more stamps from you when you offer discounts on shipping fees. Most sellers in StampWorld allow combined shipping, or you can have the buyer pay only for the first stamp's shipping fee and their second/third/fourth stamp purchases will not be charged any extra shipping fees. Take note that this has to be a single transaction only. It is entirely up to you, as the seller, to decide how much you would like to charge for the shipping costs, especially if the buyer wants to buy multiple stamps from you. Remember that when your buyers are seeing that they are getting a good deal, they would definitely buy from you and it is likely possible they could become your regular customers.
