That is odd

I bought some coins off Ebay and was trying pay for them, I perfer PayPal, it's just faster. But what ever the seller wants; this is what I got "PS. I accept cash, personal check, Money Orders, or even U.S.Postage Stamps."

Any other sellers out there take STAMPS? LOL

I would have to pay with stamps just for the fun of it. Not many would believe the story.

Postage stamps used to be a fairly common method of payment many years ago. At least for low cost items.

A stamp is the only legal temder you can't get from a bank BUT can also be used to get on a bus in the UK, but the bus driver won't give change.

This is because a stamps value never changes over a few years, you buy it for 50pence today, it's worth 50pence next year, unless you have a rare old stamp.

And with all the postage we use when sending through ebay why not.

Also the tax man would know about it or if your work at a company who buys stamps, you could pinch the odd few to buy your items. LOL

Speaking of stamps...

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do . . . write to these men? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they delivered the mail?
