Use of the CoinStampsClassifieds site and services is limited to persons or
companies that lawfully can enter into and form contracts under applicable law.
For example, minors are not allowed to be a seller on CoinStampsClassifieds. To
register as a seller, you must have a valid PayPal account in order to receive fund
transfers of your sale proceeds from CoinStampsClassifieds. You must provide your
real name, address and E-mail address.
2. SELLER FEES
Please review the Seller’s Fees listing above. All fees are in Canadian dollars. The
Fee Schedule may vary in the future. The current Fee Schedule in effect on the date
of sale of each item shall govern the transaction. You should check the fees and
terms each time you participate. All fees will be charged to the credit card on file.
If you fail to acknowledge an order, or cancel an order, a cancellation fee will be
charged to your card on file. The amount of the cancellation fee will be the same as
would have been charged if the order had completed successfully.
By listing an item for sale on the Site, you authorize CoinStampsClassifieds to
Seller fees charged when the seller acknowledges an order (by entering a shipping
date) are final and non-refundable. Seller agrees that these fees are charged in
return for services rendered byCoinStampsClassifieds, and subsequent
adjustments to the transaction by the buyer or seller, including cancellations and
refunds, do not take away from the fact that the services were provided in good
faith by CoinStampsClassifieds.
3. POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
You agree to abide by the policies and guidelines contained in the Frequently
Asked Questions section (and incorporated into this Seller Agreement by reference)
when selling on CoinStampsClassifieds. These policies and guidelines explain the
processes and set out acceptable conduct and prohibited practices. We may
change these procedures and guidelines in the future, and such changes will be
effective immediately upon posting without notice to you.
4. CoinStampsClassifieds’s ROLE
CoinStampsClassifieds provides a venue where third-party sellers can advertise
items for sale to third party buyers. CoinStampsClassifieds allows the buyer to
initiate a sale transaction with a seller, collection of payment, shipping of
merchandise, and any further negotiations related to the sale are the responsibility
of the respective buyers and sellers.
CoinStampsClassifieds has no financial interest in the sale, other than the seller fee
which is collected based on the sale amount. As a Seller, you may list any item on
the Site unless it is a prohibited item as defined in the policies and guidelines
contained in the Frequently Asked Questions section. Only items which you are
legally entitled to sell may be listed on CoinStampsClassifieds. This would
generally be defined as items that you own, or items which you may legally offer as
a representative for another party. Under no circumstances may you offer for sale
items which are stolen, illegally obtained, counterfeit or fraudulant. It is up to the
seller to accurately describe the item for sale.
6. REFUNDS AND DISPUTES
If the buyer is unhappy with items received from the seller, or if items are never
received, it is the responsibility of the buyer and seller to resolve any resulting
dispute. CoinStampsClassifieds offers a method for buyers to provide feedback
about problems and disputes, but is not directly involved in this process.
If it is determined between the buyer and seller that a refund or partial refund is
due the buyer, the arrangements for the transfer of funds must be made between
the buyer and seller. CoinStampsClassifieds does provide a mechanism for making
refunds once a sale has been acknowledged, however any refund must be agreed
upon between the buyer and seller, and initiated by the seller.
CoinStampsClassifieds reserves the right to deny seller status to any person or
company that fails to honor this agreement, or that we can reasonably assume will
not conduct transactions in an honest and respectable way. This would include
existing registered sellers for whom we have received user complaints, and
prospective sellers who we have reason to believe will use the
CoinStampsClassifieds service improperly.
7. SELLER NOTIFICATIONS
Each registered seller must maintain a valid E-mail address to be used for
notification of sales, disputes, or other communications. If the seller’s E-mail
address changes, it is his responsibility to update his CoinStampsClassifieds User
Registration information accordingly. Sellers should check their E-mail frequently
(at least once every 2 or 3 days) to facilitate the timely delivery of sale and dispute
notifications.
If you have a sale pending, and you have not responded to your notification E-mail,
we may try to contact you by phone if you have provided a phone number. Phone
notification is not guaranteed, but may be done at our option if the sale amount
warrants.
No notifications will be sent regarding changes to this Seller Agreement, or other
policies and procedures. It is up to each individual seller to check the Frequently
Asked Questions section on the CoinStampsClassifieds site to stay abreast of the
latest changes.
8. LISTING AND SELLING ITEMS
The seller is responsible for collecting payment for any won item.
CoinStampsClassifieds has provided a system to request a paypal payment from a
buyer, but it is the sole responsibility of the seller to collect payment via this
method or any other.
When a seller lists items for sale, he is obligated to sell the goods at the listed price.
Upon receipt of payment from CoinStampsClassifieds, the seller must ship the
items in a timely manner, using appropriate packaging materials.
IMPORTANT: Items you list for sale at CoinStampsClassifieds should not be
available for sale elsewhere. This includes eBay auctions, other websites, or a retail
store.
All items should include a fair and accurate description as to their condition and
grade. Item descriptions must abide by the CoinStampsClassifieds Content Policy.
Any defects should be noted, unless an image of the item is provided which
obviously shows the defect. Grading of philatelic and numismatic items is a
subjective art, so the seller should be prepared to offer a refund or settle any
dispute that arises if the buyer’s appraisal of the item is not the same as the
seller’s.
After the sale is complete, the seller agrees to the further responsibility of
monitoring his E-mail in a timely manner to check for any notifications which may
be sent in the event of the buyer registering a complaint.
9. SALES/USE TAXES
The seller agrees that it is the Seller’s and the Buyer’s responsibility to determine
whether sales apply to the transactions and to report and remit the correct tax to
the appropriate tax authority. CoinStampsClassifieds is not obligated to determine
if any taxes are due, and is not responsible to collect, report, or remit any sales or
use taxes arising from any transaction. Accordingly, CoinStampsClassifieds does
not add sales or use tax to any transaction initiated on our site.
CoinStampsClassifieds is primarily a venue for private individuals to buy and sell
stamps. In such cases, the seller would not normally be authorized to collect sales
or tax.
In cases where a CoinStampsClassifieds seller is a business that is obligated to
collect sales tax, the seller agrees that he will responsibly report such sales to his
local tax authority, and remit the proper taxes due as a cost of doing business.

process will only be used for purposes necessary for the listing, sale, and transfer of

never made available to third party persons under any circumstances.
It is your responsibility to protect your password from unauthorized use, and to
change it if you feel its privacy has been compromised.

and in a lawful manner. You agree to comply with all applicable laws, statutes, and
regulations. You may not register under a false name or impersonate any

has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any activity and content associated
with this site, and may investigate any reported violation of its policies or
complaints and take any action that it deems appropriate. This includes the right
to report any activity that we suspect violates any law or regulation to appropriate
law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties.
CoinStampsClassifieds will cooperate with law enforcement authorities, when
legally requested, to provide information during the course of a legal investigation.

15. TERMINATION OF SELLER STATUS BY CoinStampsClassifieds
CoinStampsClassifieds reserves the right to deny seller status to any person or
company that fails to honor this agreement, or that we can reasonably assume will
not conduct transactions in an honest and respectable way. This would include
existing registered sellers for whom we have received user complaints, and
prospective sellers who we have reason to believe will use the
CoinStampsClassifieds service improperly.
If CoinStampsClassifieds terminates the seller registration of a seller, any and all
funds due to the seller will immediately be transferred to the seller’s PayPal
account, if possible. If there is a problem contacting the seller, or if the seller’s
PayPal account is not valid, the rules defined under ‘TRANSFER OF FUNDS” will
apply. Any items a seller has listed on CoinStampsClassifieds when his seller status
is terminated will be immediately deleted from the listings.
16. TERMINATION OF SELLER STATUS BY SELLER
The seller may terminate his seller status at any time, and without notice, by
simply unchecking the ‘Register as Seller’ checkbox on the User Registration
Information page. All items listed for sale by the seller will immediately be removed
from our listings. Any sales which have previously been initiated, and are not yet
complete, will be completed by CoinStampsClassifieds, and must be honored by
the seller.
