Why
Sell From Here? What Makes Us So Special?
Selling
Your Stamps.
Items from our site appear in both Google and the new Froogle
shopping engine listings and are accessible by anyone with
a potential audience of millions of people. We also advertise
extensively to generate visitors as well as include many
free features, special promotions and articles to attract
visitors. We also maintain a strong database of both buyers
who we email on a regular basis as soon as items they might
be interested in become available for sale. We have registered
buyers from all over the world who are waiting to buy your
stamps, making this an excellent place to sell your stamps.
As there is absolutely no listing fee to have your items
listed for sale here, then there is no loss if the item
does not sell or takes a while to sell. Many sites charge
a weekly or monthly fee for the listing in the hope that
you the seller have overpriced the stamp and that they will
earn a lot of money in fees just for listing it, or even
end up owning it when the fees exceed the value of the item.
We work on results only and you pay absolutely nothing
if we don't make a sale meaning it is in our best interests
to work hard at getting the sale on your behalf.
As we operate fraud protection and have eliminated the
risk of buyers risking their money, we have built a strong
user base of buyers who know that they can buy with confidence
from Victorian Stamps. Buyers who are cautious of being
conned seldom want to pay much as they may equally lose
their money or just be throwing it away. With fraud protection
in operation our buyers know that they are able to return
any goods for refund if not satisfied and can buy with complete
confidence that they are getting a square deal.
All goods are also sent fully insured so that if any items
go amiss once in the postal system then nobody is out of
pocket.
At Victorian Stamps, we completely take the headaches out
of listing and selling the items and answering questions
from prospective buyers so that you don't have to. Just
sit back and let us do the work for you, whether its a single
item, a schoolboy collection, an accumulation or a complete
specialist collection, we can sell it for you!
The
Dreaded Seller's Commission
For all selling we charge a flat rate of 10% of the item
purchase price. The small sellers premium helps pay the
overhead costs of running this site, merchanting fees for
credit card processing and offering the services that we
offer. Many auctions charge 10 to 20% sellers premium and
even places who don't charge a premium will either pass
the costs off onto the buyer who deccreases the bid.
We are believers in honesty and prefer to be up front with
charges rather than levying hidden charges at the last minute
or simply charging them without telling you first. I'm sure
that most will agree that it is not an unreasonable or extortionate
fee for the service we provide. Many other places charge
much more and are far less honest about it.
The sellerss premium is deducted from the listed selling
price at the time of settlement with the seller and you
will receive a cheque for the selling price less our fee
of 10% of that figure.
How
Do I Submit My Items For Sale?
Items can be submitted for sale first by sending us an
e-mail to stamps@victorianstamps.com
or visit our simple submissions form here
with a list or brief description of what you wish us to
offer for sale on your behalf. With large collections just
list the basics or better items and the price you are looking
for if you have a price in mind and we will let you know
how to proceed. The more information you can provide, the
better and please let us know if you are looking for a direct
quick sale directly to us, looking for disposal through
auction or looking for sale through this site. If you are
not sure what to price an item or lot at then we will be
more than happy to suggest a provisional selling price.
All items before being offered for sale by us must be in
our actual possession and should be sent to us by registered
mail which requires a signature upon receipt. Sending via
registered mail guarantees that you are able to check if
the item was received by us or not and allows the items
to be tracked while in transit. The only exception to this
rule is with long established stamp dealers who we have
dealt with many times in the past and know to be beyond
reproach.
We reserve the right to decline items that are in our opinion
are excessively priced, of doubtful provenance or obviously
not as described. This saves either party wasting their
valuable time.
How
Long Do I Have To Wait Before I Am Paid
Money from a sale is retained for a period of one calendar
month which allows reasonable time for us to ship the item
to the buyer and a period of grace for the buyer to return
the goods if they do not meet with their approval. Once
the month period is up then the sale is deemed as final
and the money is released to the seller as a cheque. Money
can also be wired and the wiring fee charged by the bank
will be deducted from the total amount owing to the seller.
This is done to protect our buyers against faulty goods
or innacurate descriptions and also to protect against chargebacks.
What
Are The Benefits Of Membership?
A good question that anyone might ask. Becoming a member
gives you almost immediate access to sell your stamps and
philatelic material. Remember that there are no listing
fees, so no sale, no fee! Being a member offers you the
potential to offer almost unlimited items for sale, no more
taking chances at auctions, you get to decide the price!
When an item is provisionally sold, you will be notified
immediately of the pending sale and the total amount. You
will also be notified if the stamp receives an offer of
less than the listed price although we will do our positive
best to obtain the best selling price for the item as afterall
we work on commission only and it is in our best interests
to secure you the best price for your material. In the case
of receiving a lower offer, it is at the sole disgression
of the seller.
Why
Sell From Victorian Stamps? What Makes Us So Special?
We believe in achieving the best possible prices for the
seller and constantly keep tabs on current market prices
in an effort to make sure that material on offer is at the
right price for both buying and selling so that both parties
are completely happy with the transaction.
Transactions through Victorian Stamps are smooth and simple,
just sit back, relax and let us do all the work for you.
If submitting entire collections or large lots many places
will just sell the whole thing as one lot meaning that the
seller usually loses out on the deal. We spend the time
to pick out the items that will sell comfortably sell on
their own and will even break up the remaining items into
various categories or areas of interest to achieve the fairest
prices possible. Give us a try and see what we can do for
you!
