Hi and welcome to March Madness! So much has happened already during March.

Let's firstly take a look at everyone's favourite, eBay. Talk about trying hard to annoy your sellers. If you're selling anything there (not just stamps) make sure you are fully versed in the new rules for buy it now listings. These can now only be listed as 'Good Til Cancelled' with recurring monthly insertion fees. Fixed duration listings are no longer. You can no longer list stamps for a set number of days. The listings will be made GTC and automatically relisted the following month with additional insertion fees. YOU must manually remove your listings before these automatically roll over if you don't want to be wacked with another lot of insertion fees EVERY MONTH. This is surely going to cause a lot of angst in the stamp seller community.

KoalaStamps now has a regular stamp giveaway here. This month it kicks off with a pair of spectacular reef safari miniature sheets from Australia, one of which is printed in 3D using lenticular printing. The technology is truly visually amazing and a must have, even if you don't collect Australia. You can also increase your chances of winning by sharing the giveaway details with your collector friends. Every referral gets you an extra entry, so check back often.

There's now a list of my favourite internet stamp resources. Check it out here.

Something different. The stamps of Egypt give a wonderful insight into the history and culture of this ancient African country. You can check out the nice range of mint never hinged available here.

Not forgetting the Pacific, I've also added another lot of hard to get miniature sheets from the Cook Islands. View them here.

Everyone loves a bargain. There's a new bargain bin with stamps discounted 64%, down to 45c each. Grab as many as you want here! 

Good quality Oceania material really is difficult to come by. There's an excellent range of Australia, Christmas Island, Cocos Islands, Cook Islands (including Aitutaki and Penrhyn), Fiji, French Oceania and Polynesia, Kiribati (Gilbert & Ellice Is), Nauru, New Caledonia,  New Zealand, Niue, Norfolk Island, PNG, Pitcairn Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu (including New Hebrides). Just click on any of these links to browse.

The KoalaStamps website now has 9,800 sets and singles listed with a 10% discount off my eBay prices, free postage on orders of $50 or more, and if you're purchasing outside of Australia you also benefit from exchange rates because of the low value of the Australian dollar!  

All the best, stay happy and enjoy your collecting,

Rod
