The max discount that you could get on them, that I'm aware of is 2-2.5%, from cashback on a card, although if a promo came out, maybe as much as 5%.
Right - that's what I'm figuring. So by the time you pay PayPal fees and eBay fees and shipping, how can you make any money?
More and more, I think it's a tax scam. Deduct the stamps as a business expense, and don't report the proceeds.
