Copyright IPDA Inc.

The IPDA was formed in February 2002 , by a group of individuals with the main intention to allow stamp collectors across the world to trade and interact with other collectors and dealers with the confidence that will make the Internet a safer place to interact with each other. After five years of steady growth, the IPDA was incorporated in the state of Florida USA, on 28th February 2007.

We now have the new title of  The Internet Philatelic Dealers Association Incorporated

or The IPDA inc.

We are now finding that by becoming a member of the Association, and trading under a set code of ethics, this is strengthening the bond between the Internet stamp collecting / dealing community and our name is now beginning to be known and respected throughout the online stamp collecting community.

Members who trade under the IPDA banner are fully committed to promoting philately on the Internet, as a bonus we  promote our individual members businesses. We also allow our members to display our well known logo. Our eventual goal is to make the Internet a safer and more secure place for philatelists to trade. Not only to buy material, but also for collectors and dealers to sell to each other with confidence.

We are finding it makes a big difference to collectors just to know that one is dealing with a honest and bonified person who trades under the fore mentioned code of ethics set down by the Association. This in turn is showing up in statistics of more online sales for our members.

Another benefit of the association is to keep members informed about Events and Happenings, which affect the philatelic industry. Also to cooperate with other philatelic associations and groups representing dealers and collectors over matters of interest to our members which affect their businesses. This we feel this can only be good in the long term and it is a progressing benefit to our hobby.
