Selling
of Stamps
NWMarketplace does
not permit the sale of stamps that are fraudulent or improperly
described. Sellers who knowingly fail to disclose information about
the authenticity of a stamp, alterations to the stamp, or other
information that might have a material impact on the stamp's value
may be reported to the American Philatelic Society.
If the stamp is a
forgery, fake, reproduction or facsimile:
it must be clearly
and indelibly marked as such
a clear image of
this mark must be included
it must be clearly
stated in the title and/or description
If unsure of the
origin or authenticity of the stamp, please state this clearly in the
listing. Do not sell an item "As Is" regarding its
authenticity.
Violations of this
policy may result in a range of actions, including:
Helpful guidelines

strictly prohibit the sale of counterfeit stamps, as well as
equipment designed to make these illegal products. U.S. law also
protects stamps from counterfeiters. Therefore, these counterfeit
items may not be listed on NWMarketplace. Sellers should be compliant
with all federal, state, and local laws while listing stamps on
NWMarketplace. A few examples of the actual U.S. counterfeiting laws
