The American Philatelic Society (APS) has launched its new StampStore, an online venue to facilitate the sale of member-owned stamps and covers, on the online commerce site HipStamp.
The StampStore, located at hipstamp.com/store/aps-stamp-store, lists nearly 235,000 items as of Feb. 21.
“This is just the beginning of our partnership, and our collective members can look forward to many exciting collaborations and marketplace features in the future,” said Mark Rosenberg, the CEO and founder of Hip eCommerce, which operates HipStamp. “With both HipStamp and the APS focused on promoting stamp collecting for people of all ages, we’re excited by what we can accomplish together in the world of philately.”
HipStamp has more than 100,000 members while the APS – the world’s largest non-profit philatelic organization – has about 26,000 members in more than 110 countries. The APS will continue to provide StampStore sellers scanning, posting, fulfillment and support services.
