    I am a stamp buyer.
    Instead of my sending 15+ checks to 15+ sellers, is it possible to send to Delcampe one lump sum of Euros...and then, each buyer can get the money directly from Delcampe ?
    If no: too bad !
    If yes: how do I do it ?

    There is no facility to do this on Delcampe and it is probably unlikely there ever will be.

    Can you not use PAYPAL or Skrill for this purpose?

    To suggest Delcampe as the payment facilitator would mean that in effect they would be offering a service such as that provided by PAYPAL or Skrill ... and that aren't geared up for this.

    Yes, you have to pay each seller individually on Delcampe as your contract is with the seller not Delcampe.

    I do sell on another site that does exactly what you suggest and there are distinct advantages (but some disadvantages) for buyers. For sellers it has certain disadvantages mainly to do with the standardization that is necessary for this sort of system to work.

    Eg.....postage & packing is standardized irrespective of the weight or size of the package or the respective countries of the buyer or seller. Any registered post charges are at the sellers discretion and cost. No good for many international sellers but works OK if the seller & buyer are in the same country & the value of the sale is fairly low.

    Therefore selling prices on the site tend to be a bit higher than elsewhere to compensate (one of the disadvantages to the buyers).
