GB and Empire Stamps is owned and operated by Ian Lasok-Smith (Philatelist).


Through this site I not only sell my own material and that of vendors on a commission basis through a number of "specialised stores" but also offer the facility for "invited" sellers be they members of the trade or private collectors to sell their own material using all the listing and secure payment features the site has to offer. Those wishing to consider this option should go to the Invited Sellers page.


IMPORTANT NOTE. Although I try to carefully select "invited sellers , I am  not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and "invited" sellers. As a result, I have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items listed the truth or accuracy of the listings. I cannot and do not control whether or not "invited" sellers will complete the sale of items they offer or buyers will complete the purchases of items. In addition, note that there are risks of dealing with foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretence.


Ian Lasok-Smth (Philatelist) will not be responsible for any items sold by "invited" sellers, for any damage to items during transit or during the inspection period, nor for misrepresentations and/or breaches of contract by either buyer and/or seller.  Ian Lasok-Smith (Philatelist) will not be involved in any dispute between seller and buyer. This web-site shall not be responsible for the cost of procurement of substitute goods or any losses resulting from any goods purchased or obtained from "invited" sellers. This web-site assumes no liability for the content of the listings. However if you fall victim of a fraudulent transaction I will assist you as much as I can.


NOTE: Ian Lasok-Smith is a full member of the Philatelic Traders Society and adheres to it's professional standards. "Invited" sellers are not required to be members of the PTS or other regulatory organisation. Buyers are advised to check by reference to the store details who they are dealing with.  If buyers wish to seek clarification with regards any seller's status please email PhilatelicRegister@gmail.com
