I am confused about how this works.. how do you pay for the actual value of the stamp?

You keep an account linked to a credit card. The software takes care of the rest.
1726004
You use Endicia software. Create an account which may require a monthly service charge. Afterwards, buy the postage through the software and print it. Be sure to print correctly because if you make a mistake, you won't be refunded.

You have to go online to stamps.com, open a free account with them, then you order the postage you need and pay with your credit card.

The ink is self contained inside the body of the "self inking" stamp's body. It passes the lettering of the stamp by the ink on the way tot the paper when you press down. What you see in the picture is what you get, and it should stay inked for a while. No extra pads or ink came with mine.

You may want to contact the company. The stamps I ordered were 3 letters and 4 letters, which print very clearly.

Typically costs me about $2.42 to mail this (by weight) with a couple of prints inside. Sorry I don't the actual weight.

You scan and email (or fax) your signature to the company, and they use that to make the stamp. It is an exact copy, although perhaps slightly thicker lines than normal if you press too hard. Pressing hard makes it look like you used a fine tipped marker.

What you see in this photo is NOT what I got. What I got looks lke a large postage stamp. It is horrible ... would never order again. I cannot answer your question the way you want since what I got is nothing close to the photo. Thank you!

Yes, I guess it is. I just found that out by reading another answer. The good thing about this stamp is that the address prints evenly. Every stamp I've had in the past had some fading part of the address. This stamp inks the entire address evenly.

If you bought the same item I did, the last year on your stamp is 2025. Revolve the year gear to verify.

NO! NO, you CAN'T! Don't believe Dymo or Endicia. When I plunked down $150 for this printer, I signed up for their "FREE" postage account, which doesn't mean the postage is free by any stretch of the imagination. But you buy the postage through Endicia wihout having to have an annual fee. They still get a cut. But now, I've run the software update to get the new postage rates, and suddenly it WILL NOT PRINT WITHOUT USING OFFICIAL DYMO BRAND STAMP ROLLS! That's right, they will not let you print postage that you paid for on stamp rolls that you paid for on the printer that you paid for, unless you give them an extra little something. EXTORTION. NO!

Hi there! Yes, after purchasing you will be contacted via e-mail by a member of their customer service team. They will send you graphics and different font options for what you would like the stamp to be. They are wonderful and I was super impressed with their level of customer service. They were extremely professional and the embosser is fabulous. I use it all the time and get tons of compliments on it. I ordered the chrome one which is simply beautiful and can't believe how reasonable the price was. This is a great value and I would recommend it to anyone!

Yes. There are 24 stamps on a sheet and you can print as many as you want in any denomination until you run out of postage. You can buy more postage with your credit card, and it is credited immediately

I just set my date and stamped, it took like one time and it was a perfect date stamp. The pad is pre-inked. Amazon also carries the pre-inked pads. I think the pads last a long time. This is such a sturdy stamper and works incredibly well. Hope this helps out.

I still go the post office, actually, but with the scale I can write out the weight and know exactly how much to pay. This helps out quite a bit on Amazon and eBay so I can avoid getting screwed over. Keep in mind too, that if you are selling and mailing books you can send them media mail which is far cheaper. The post office will not always tell you about this options, but it works. If you want to print your own postage you may want to look at stamps.com as well. I've never used them, but they sound like a good place to start.

I recently ordered this item (July 2014) and have included a photo of the set I received in the photo gallery. I only had 26 original stamps. The other 24 were doubles or triples. :(

No, you have to keep inserting the paper to get all the stamps. Which is a pain, because, say you just want the time stamp - you have to put in a blank piece of paper, remember when the time stamps (1st, 2nd, or 3rd), then get to what you want before you put in your document. I hate this machine, and rarely use it.

I agree with the other person order USPS stamps directly from their website a slight charge or if you can pay with cash to your local mail carrier ash for a USPS mail postage enevelope (directly in a USPS envelope for marked Stamps and Qty) 9.80/20 per Book, as of December 2014.

Value mailers. Make sure it is sent from Value Mailers and not a third party. I did this once for a 200 count order and they were not the same quality.
