Charles1971 , As the word suggests, it is the language preferred by the user in question. That does not mean that he cannot speak other languages.

So, after 15 years, are you going to decide to remove those hundreds of folders from the Netherlands, Suriname, ... from the stamp section (move them to the 'Other' section)?
Hundreds (approximately 2,000) that have been there from the beginning, once added by the mother of the stamp section (CAR).

How stupid we stamp collectors have been for decades that we weren't that smart...

I really have to do something else now, because the diaper is even tighter now :)

The insert card does not belong in the stamp section.
A printer/publisher prints cards, sticks a clamp strip on them, and sells them as a subscription (e.g. 5 insert cards every month). You could also buy envelopes with stamps (canceled or not) in that subscription to fill up those cards. A kind of Lecturama sale for those who remember that.
You could also include the (originally unfilled) cards in your stock album (or album with self-made album leaves) as documentation, and put the stamps together separately.
Or you could also use the cards to put in your own collected stamped (really worn) or CTO versions of the stamp (behind the plastic).

The postal government has nothing to do with this. A third party turned it into a product to make a profit.
It is work that the postal government has nothing to do with.

In contrast to the production work that is eligible for the stamp category. Certain FDCs and MKs are not issued by the postal government (some are).
But the postal service plays an important role in this work with the stamping. It has a postmark on it. Something postal is added, which is essential and belongs to the definition of that work.

It does not matter that the postmark is sometimes placed on it as a subcontractor by another party involved. There is a postmark (with a clearly legible date) on it.

You can also make your own work: provide an envelope with a drawing yourself (e.g. 100 copies), stick a stamp on it, and put a stamp of your own making (even with a legible date) on it.
This is also not a job where a postal service is involved. Such limited edition items also do not belong in the stamp section.

The postal services also issued leaflets. With a description and an image of an issued stamp.
Anyone who uses those leaflets to stick a stamped seal (one of the 100 or so duplicates you own) on them (with a pritt adhesive stick, for example) is not making philatelic work either. The postal service has nothing to do with that.
Even if that CTO stamp were stamped on the day of issue, you will not receive a first-day newspaper or whatever.
These things also do not belong in the stamp section.

With these folders, no stamp is placed or no stamps are placed behind a plastic bag by a collector. These are included when issued (sold as is).
That is a big and clear difference. Even with a diaper that is too tight, you can still see the difference.

In many countries (areas) stamps are also packaged and issued in a more or less logical whole.

Stamps are issued in sheets or blocks Raoul62 . Or in hanging packaging. Or in a booklet. A folder contains parts of a sheet or block. These are not issued this way, but have been edited. The loose stamp is of course allowed. But this is usually already in the catalog at LD.

The Insert Card indeed seems almost the same to me Helv . A Seal is slipped behind a plastic sleeve and the rest of the item provides more information.

Stamp folders belong in the stamp section.
Just as Hanging packaging also belongs.

In many countries (areas) stamps are also packaged and issued in a more or less logical whole. In a folder (usually loose stamp series, blocks of 4 or complete series), in a hanging packaging, in a booklet (with or without intermediate pages with text and advertising), in an annual set, in a yearbook ...

There was a discussion some time ago about 'yearbooks' and 'year sets'. After that it was clear. If a book, together with the stamps in it, has been published in this way by the Postal Government, then it belongs in the Stamps section. As a whole, in original condition (with all stamps).
This seemed to me to be a clear and useful agreement.

Only, of course, complete, in the condition in which they were released by the publisher concerned. Then it must be viewed as a whole.
In this way it can also be traded as an annual set (with all issued stamps of that year in a book or folder) or as a folder (with the stamps that were in it when it was issued).
A DAVO book is not issued filled with the stamps. You buy the Davo book and collect the necessary stamps. You then put it in that stock book. A DAVO book is therefore not an item for the stamp section. A yearbook with the stamps in it that was published by the Postal Government is.

#10272817 is a stamp folder, and should be in the stamp section, as 'Folder'. It is incorrectly listed in the 'Other' section.
#5303773 is a book published by bPost with text, photos, and all stamps issued in 2006. It belongs in the stamp section as 'Annual Set', but is now incorrectly in the 'Other' section. #9229019 , for example, is correctly listed in the stamp section.

The annual set was also issued in a folder form ( #3376571 ). Not as a book, without text and photos, and therefore cheaper.

If a yearbook with the stamps in it is looted, it is an item for 'Collectible Albums'.
If a folder is looted, it is an item for the 'Other' section. Just the folder (the packaging).
A wise man once wrote that everything that can get loose will sooner or later get loose, and will therefore also be collected loose. Also applies to stamp folders and annual sets (books). Separately (or empty) it is a different item, often for a different category.

I collect those stamp folders and appreciate their place among the stamps. I don't see any difference with prestige booklets that are also included with the stamps, as far as heading goes. They are also listed next to the FDC in the NVPH catalogue. So I wouldn't want to move them.

To this day, there are folders with every stamp issue that provide more meta information. In addition, there are folders for occasions with relatively random stamps, mainly intended to enhance the occasion in question and with less added value for those stamps. I don't collect them, but to each their own.

Charles1971 in the Netherlands, folders were officially issued by the PPT when people could no longer think of anything else due to commercial madness. During that time I also collected them for a short time and I think they belong in stamp folders.
On the other hand, there is virtually no distinction to be made with other inserts.

That actually seems the most practical to me.

If my preferred language is German Rene, a Dutch-speaking collector/seller/buyer will think that I do not speak the Dutch language. Or I have to indicate this in my profile, correct. How many profiles now indicate that the user has mastered multiple languages? I haven't seen one yet. On the other hand, the preferred language is indicated everywhere. What then is practical?

The stamps in these stamp folders are not special Collectioneur. They are normal (postage) stamps. Stamp folders are and were issued for trade. Once the stamps are removed from the folder, you can no longer see any distinction between the "real" stamp and the "folder stamp".
As far as I'm concerned, they will remain under stamps, but then Other/Stamp folder can be closed down.

Or all folders, Helv says about 2000, will be included in this Other/Stamp folder , where in my opinion they belong. As a combination.

As a buyer, you can respond to the invoice email (even though it appears to come from a no-reply address) and that email will then reach the seller.

I thought this feature was disabled last year. But I just tested it and it is indeed possible.

Unfortunately, the Folder type is not (yet) described in the manual. I personally have no idea what criteria are used to approve or reject items with the Folder type.
Do Folders even belong in the Stamps section or are they better placed in Other/Stamp Folder ?

Is there a possibility to indicate multiple languages?.

There can only be one preferred language at this time Charles1971
That actually seems the most practical to me.
You can also indicate in the free text in your profile which other languages you have mastered.

Collectioneur ,
As a buyer, you can respond to the invoice email (even though it appears to come from a no-reply address) and that email will then reach the seller.
I just tested it and it still works.
It is also stated at the bottom of the invoice email:
PS You can also email us (the seller) by replying to this email, even if the visible sender is a no-reply email address.

We do this because we are sending the email on behalf of the seller.

Nice that you draw attention to this exchange in this way PeterMotte. If I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop by on June 2. I think I can even combine this with another appointment I once made. Thank you for this.

The invoice email contains 2 links.
The first is to view the invoice and the other is the seller's email address.
The invoice email is sent from a no-reply (system) address, so you cannot reply to that.

Rene or Collectioneur ,

You can enter your own preferred language in your profile. You can only indicate one language.
Is there a possibility to indicate multiple languages?.
For example, I have a good command of Dutch, German, English and to a slightly lesser extent French. But I can only enter one preferred language.

If I can indicate multiple languages, other collectors will immediately know that they can also simply send a personal message in their own language. This lowers the threshold for sending messages.

It's just an idea, because LD is looking for a path to internationalization.

Just checked with our mail provider, but all messages from LastDodo have been sent to you and also delivered to you.
I don't really understand what you mean by giving feedback via the reply button.

Hello everyone,

I have finally entered my collection completely, but I can't figure out 2 stamps. They have no face value, so I'm guessing maybe this doesn't belong under stamps? Who can help me?

I have recently had 2 cases where I have not received messages from customers resulting in angry faces and negative feedback. A customer had given feedback 3 times, 2 of which were positive and 1 negative, but this was given via the reply button. I didn't receive it!!?? I think that button is not functioning properly and suggest removing it
