Please please please! Counterfeit stamps are a real thing! It’s a huge problem with eBay. The US Postal system says if the deal is really good, it’s probably counterfeit. Please don’t encourage your followers to find these great deals on eBay for stamps. “Not knowing” if it’s counterfeit isn’t a good excuse. Even a highly rated seller who is selling cut rate stamps is probably selling counterfeit stamps. eBay doesn’t have the resources to investigate and shut down each one. Saving money isn’t a good reason to support these people.

Thanks for letting us know:)
Also if a letter or bill has a counterfeit stamp on it the mail piece is sent to the postal inspectors for investigation. Unfortunately, it may be several weeks or months until that investigation is completed and therefore a bill may receive a late fee. I am sure a late fee is going to be more than .16 that it would cost yo use a real stamp.
The post office doesn’t sell discounted stamps. Not to say that maybe some of these stamps are from an estate sale or something similar, most individuals wouldnt have stored a huge amount of forever stamps to sell later, but there is a rampant market in selling fake stamps right now.
Thanks for your feedback Vicki! They are covered by eBay’s money back guarantee, so if you have any issues you can get a full refund.
I that old I remember when postage stamps were $0.06 cents
I remember when they were 3 cents!!
Wow! They have definitely gone up:(
I just ordered and they came out to be $45 a roll. Not the $41.00 mentioned in the post.
I realized I selected the wrong stamps! My bad…
Kim
Oh phew! Glad you figured it out, Kim! 🙂
I can’t find the correct one. Thelink directs me to the $45 one. Help, please?
Bummer, it looks like they’ve raised the prices since we posted. If you buy 2 or more, they are $43.65 per set. Hope that helps!
Thanks for posting! I considered ordering the stamps the first time you posted the deal but we really don’t need them at the moment – BUT since prices are going up – yep had to get them! Thank y’all for doing all the work on finding these deals!!
