What you need to know:

Earlier this year, we launched our Progress Web App for HipStamp! With our Progressive Web App, you can now take HipStamp on the go, by installing our app on your phone or tablet. To install our app, from your mobile phone, using Chrome on Android, or Safari on iOS devices, head down to the footer of our website and click on the "Install the HipStamp App". With the HipStamp App, not only can you manage your inventory and sales on the go, but you can easily list items directly from your phone or tablet - which works great for larger items and collections.

Live Bidding Rooms are now available on HipStamp! Live Bidding Rooms offer buyers an exciting new way to bid and interact in auction events. Within our Live Bidding Rooms, which can be accessed on desktop or mobile, you'll find a single page featuring the current item up for bid in an auction event. Here, you'll be able to easily place your bids in real-time, and compete with other bidders. But the best part is that once an auction listing ends, the next auction listing in the event will automatically appear for you to bid on - without the need to change or reload the page!

Want to try it out for yourself as a bidder? Once a qualifying auction event is about to start closing (within the hour), the option to enter the Live Bidding Room associated with the auction event will automatically appear at the top of the auction event page or any auction listing page within the event.

How do you enable Live Bidding Rooms for your buyers? Live Bidding Rooms will automatically be enabled for all auction events with at least 12 seconds between each auction listing's closing time.

What does this mean for you? With our Live Bidding Rooms, we expect more engagement from bidders - which means more items sold and higher prices realized. So there's never been a better time than now to run an auction event! If you need help getting started, or if you're interested in joining our weekly no reserve events - just follow up with our Customer Success team.

HipValues are an invaluable tool for buyers and sellers, that provides you with the current average selling price for any stamp, based on Country, Catalog Number, and Stamp Condition. Each value is based upon real sales data, across tens of millions of stamps that have been sold on HipStamp, and the best part is you can click through to review each and every one of those sales - complete with original listing images. Plus, with a Gold HipValues Subscription, priced at $25/month you can unleash a whole suite of features built right into the HipStamp marketplace, including the ability to Search and Filter by HipValues, Filter by Sales Counts, and even Filter by Price to HipValue Percent!

While a complimentary Gold HipValues Subscription we previously included only with a Premium Store Subscription, it will now be included, effective July 22, 2022, at no extra charge with both our Basic and Featured Store Subscriptions.

Updated: Listing Counts for our Store Subscriptions will remain at 100 for a Starter Store subscription, 10,000 for a Basic Store subscription, 100,000 for a Featured Store subscription and 1,000,000 for a Premium Store subscription.

Currently, a Starter Store subscription is $2.95 per month, a Basic Store subscription is $6.95 per month, a Featured Store subscription is $19.95 per month, and a Premium Store subscription is $59.95 per month - all when on an annual subscription; or $3.95, $9.95, $24.95 and $74.95 per month respectively when not on an annual subscription.

Updated: Effective July 22, 2022, a Starter Store subscription will be $3.95 per month, a Basic Store subscription will be $11.95 per month, a Featured Store subscription will be $29.95 per month, and a Premium Store subscription will be $89.95 per month - all when on an annual subscription; or $5.95, $14.95, $37.95 and $119.95 per month respectively when not on an annual subscription.

These changes represent our only fee increase since January 2020 and are necessary for us to continue key programs that are currently helping our Sellers to increase their sales each month, which are now approaching $3 Million per month across Hip eCommerce. This also includes a significant expansion of spending on marketing programs including paid media and new and exciting features such as the HipStamp App that can be installed on your phone or tablet, and our recently launched Live Bidding Rooms.

Want to lock in today's lower rates? If you're not already on our Annual Store subscription plan, now is the perfect time to switch from a Monthly Store subscription plan and lock in our current lower rates for the next 12 months!
