Selling p stamps on eBay

[Bronwen]

I can't find anywhere with any more p stamps. Not even a single book, let alone a role.

It honestly sickens me that some people bought like ten rolls purely to sell and make like a profit of $30 per role. The price of stamps isn't even increased yet!

This may sound slightly anarchist in nature but unfortunately as hard as I try not to be I'm a cynic.... In an us against them society (us being us, them being corporations and the government) I find it sickening that regular people try to make a buck off of other regular people who didn't have a chance to get out the first day they heard of the increase.

Rant over. Ugh.

Is that legal?

I thought you would have to be certified (or whatever the term may be) by Canada Post to sell stamps like that.

I wondered the same thing and my husband suggested I check to see if it's legal and if not report them but I couldn't find anything saying it wasn't..

P stamps were pulled from the PO awhile ago (was posted on SC) and what was left was only what the stores had. I bought 10 books for personal use at the local pharmacy. People sell anything I am finding out so it doesn't surprise me.

I was able to purchase permanent stamps recently at Rexall (strips of 10) in Kitchener. Perhaps check with them (and I believe people were also having success at Staples - may be worth a try?)

I think the P stamps were sold for around 63 cents or so and are valid for a domestic letter upto 30 g.

They don't mention any price on them and they are accepted permanently irrespective of any price increases.

Canada post is soon going to increase the cost of each stamp between 85 cents and a dollar.

So these people bought these P stamps in bulk before the .85 and 1.00 stamps come out.

So they will be mailing letters for .63 or something like that , while the rest will be paying .85 to 1.00 for a standard 30 g letter domestically.

That's exactly it. P Stamps bought like ten years ago for whatever the price was back then can be used for today's going rate.

Someone who has a membership can buy a costco gift card for you.

You can go in with the GC and shop all you want ..no membership required

Btw their pharmacy also requires no membership as by law they have to sell you prescription drugs with or without membership. They have the lowest precription fees and also prices in Canada in case you don't have a company drug plan and are paying from your pocket.
