Getting your submission ready

1. Fill in all the details and write a clear description

When you submit an object, you’ll see fields to guide you in providing the right information, such as: country, year (earliest and latest stamp), catalogue name and reference number, condition, etc. These fields ensure your listing is clear, searchable, and easy for bidders to understand.

Please also use the object description field to share:

• Unique features or notable history

• If an object has third-party certification

• The catalogue value (include year and reference name)

• If the object has any flaws

Tip: The more detail you provide, the easier it is for bidders to understand the value of your object – and the more likely it is to sell. Find here more tips on how to write a clear, accurate description.

2. Great photos matter

Photos are the first thing bidders see – so make them count! We recommend including at least 2 high-quality images that clearly show the condition and details of your object. This helps bidders make informed decisions and increases your chances of a successful sale.

Your photos should include:

For all submissions:

• The front and back of each stamp or letter

• The full gum, perforation, and any detail like postmarks

• Photos of the certificate (if applicable)

For grouped submissions:

• Overview image including all items, as well as photos of each item individually

• For albums: show the covers and selected pages

Tip: Avoid photos with people, selfies, or screenshots. Use a neutral background (white or black), avoid low-quality or stock images, and aim for natural lighting. Find here more tips on how to take professional photos.
