Hello all, We have been invited by IPDA (Internet Philatelic Dealers Association) to have a chat on their site with sellers who plan to jump from other sites to our stamp marketplace Delcampe.net. I will reply to questions, and give some tips to connected sellers. Time is at 14:00 tomorrow (Sunday), New-York time (20:00, Paris time) You are welcome to connect here: http://tinyurl.com/ipda-delcampe-chat Thank you, Sebastien

Hello Gollum, It is important for us to allow any collector (with thin or thick wallet) to find things on our site. The most difficult thing is to keep the whole thing as clean as possible, and for this we still have efforts to do. It is indeed previewed, but actually not available. Regarding forgeries, it is not a promise for the future, it is part of our ethics for a long time Thank you for your reply, Sebastien

Hello Gollum, Thank you to be honest in your message. We are well aware that we are still nowhere in British Coins... as we are just starting now. We are really the #1 specialized site for collectibles like stamps and postcards, worldwide... but we are giving more strength to our coin community for only a little more than one year. We started in France, and now we are slowly spreading the word around. If you look into our French coins, for instance, you will find better material. The only reason is that you are not yet connected. When you have an account, you have a setting "Preferred currency", set it to GBP, and all prices on the site will be immediately converted. We introduced this before eBay did, a long time ago (Note: we started in year 2000) Postal verification is not mandatory, it is better if you are a seller for instance. Probably we will accept PayPal identification in the future, but it is not yet the case (we are working on other important things presently) Thanks again for your message. Sebastien

Hello Azda, Fake coins are reported daily and we close the sales. Also our moderators do a fantastic job by also removing fakes without the need to wait our team's action. We understand that a mistake by a seller is always possible... but if we notice a certain seller is doing such "mistake" too often, then we take steps to warn him, then suspend / close his account. Sebastien

Hello, I can confirm that Delcampe.net is fighting fraudsters and fake items (as well coins as stamps, etc) for a long time, and will continue. As visitors of the site, you always have the possibility to use the link "Report this item" located top right of each sale. And if you want to better contribute, because you are an expert or a specialized collector, we have a Moderator program where between 30 and 50 moderators are watching the site. Kind regards, Seb Delcampe
