Stamp Listing Service
List Your Stamps on Your Website or eBay Store
Service Overview

Running an online stamp store is time-consuming — especially when you have hundreds or thousands of stamps waiting to be listed. Our listing service takes this workload off your hands entirely. We log into your website or eBay store using restricted access credentials and handle all the listing work for you.

This is a read-and-write limited access service. You provide us with a restricted access or sub-user access that gives us only the permissions needed to create and manage listings — nothing more. We cannot access your payment information, account settings, personal data, or any other sensitive area of your account.

What We Handle
  • Upload prepared stamp images to each listing
  • Enter stamp title, description, and key details
  • Set category, condition, and listing format as per your instructions
  • Apply pricing based on your provided data or catalogue values
  • Organize listings into correct store categories
  • Bulk listing via CSV / Excel upload where supported (e.g. eBay)
  • Update or revise existing listings as needed
How Access Works — Your Security

🚫
No Access to Payments or SettingsWe never have access to your payment accounts, financial information, account credentials, or personal settings — only to listing functions.
📋

Stamp Identification Service
Expert Research Using the Scott Catalogue & Major References
Service Overview

Accurate stamp identification is the foundation of any good collection or professional listing. Our team uses the internationally recognized Scott Catalogue and other major philatelic references to research and document the details of each stamp in your collection or inventory.

Whether you are a collector building a personal catalog or a dealer who needs precise details for listings, we provide thorough and reliable identification with full documentation.

What We Identify for Each Stamp
  • Country of origin (issuing postal authority on request)
  • Scott Catalogue number (primary reference)
  • Issue year (printing date on request)
  • Color and denomination (on currency)
  • Stamp condition and centering grade (visual inspection)
  • Mint / Used / MH / MNH status
  • Perforation details (on request & where applicable)
  • Cross-reference with other catalogues (on request)
Important Disclaimer: For stamps with two or more variations such as watermark, color, or paper varieties, we will list all possible options — but the owner is responsible for determining which variety they own. Visual centering grades are estimates; official grading should be performed by an accredited expertizing service. Scott is a registered trademark of Amos Media Company.
Inventory Database & Data Entry
Excel Spreadsheet or Customized Database for Stamp Dealers
Service Overview

Managing a large stamp inventory without a proper database is a significant challenge. Our database service creates and maintains a fully organized, professional inventory management system tailored specifically to your business needs.

We offer two options: a standard Excel spreadsheet that works on any device, or a customized database designed around your specific workflow — including fields, filters, and formatting that match how you run your business.

Database Includes
  • Individual stamp entries with all identification details
  • Image file references or embedded thumbnails
  • Listing status tracking (listed, unlisted, sold)
  • Pricing fields — cost price, listing price, market value
  • Inventory count and lot management
  • Filters by country, year, condition, price range
  • eBay / website bulk upload compatible formats (CSV)
  • Ongoing data entry as new inventory arrives
Custom Database Option: If you need fields, columns, or structures beyond a standard Excel file, we can build a customized spreadsheet or database tailored to your exact requirements. Contact us to discuss your specific needs before starting.

Album Page Cleaning & Enhancement
Restore Scanned Pages, Then Refine Them for Print & Digital Use
Service Overview

Scanned album pages often need two layers of care: first, a careful cleanup of age-related marks and scan imperfections; second, a controlled enhancement pass so the page reads clearly on screen and in print. Using Adobe Photoshop, we treat your scans as archival work — preserving stamp images, text, and layout while improving the page as a whole.

Cleaning & Restoration
  • Black marks, smudges, ink spots, and foxing on page backgrounds
  • Yellowing, uneven tone, and mild discoloration
  • Scan artifacts — dust, scratches, lines, shadows, and uneven lighting
  • Optional background smoothing where it improves readability without harming stamp detail
Enhancement & Finishing
  • Sharpening and clarity adjustments for stamp impressions and fine detail
  • Contrast, brightness, and color correction for faded or washed-out pages
  • Straightening, alignment, and consistent margins for a polished layout
  • Resolution and output sizing suited to printing or digital albums (PDF or image formats)
How We Work It
01
Assess the scan We review resolution and issues so we know what can be improved safely.
02
Clean the page We restore the page background and remove distractions while keeping stamps untouched.
03
Enhance & deliver We refine presentation, then deliver files ready for your archive, album, or sharing workflow.
Important: Stamps and printed album text are not redrawn or replaced — work focuses on the scanned page as a digital document. If a scan is very low resolution, we will tell you upfront what results are realistic.
Catalogue Cross Referencing
Map Stamps Across Major Catalogue Systems
Service Overview

Many collectors maintain records in more than one catalogue system. We research and document cross references so your spreadsheet or database stays consistent — for example, linking a Scott identification to Stanley Gibbons, Michel, or Ceres numbers where references exist and the stamp variety is clear from the materials you provide.

What We Deliver
  • Equivalent catalogue numbers and notation fields added to your catalog or database
  • Clear labeling of primary vs. secondary references based on your preferred “home” catalogue
  • Notes where a cross reference is uncertain due to varieties, watermarks, or ambiguous images
  • Optional export formatting aligned with your existing columns or import template
What Helps Us Do Accurate Work
  • High-quality scans (or crops) showing key identifiers needed for the catalogues you want linked
  • Your preferred primary catalogue and any fields you want standardized
  • Known varieties or notes you already trust — we will reconcile them with cross references carefully
Note: Catalogue names and numbering systems are trademarks or publications of their respective owners. We provide research assistance for your records; final identification decisions remain yours, especially when varieties require physical examination.
