Counterfeit Forever Stamps

stampsplanet has an ebay 14-day return policy. High volume seller with good feedback, but the mint bundles could still have counterfeits. I also don't know how may fakes USPS catches so buyers could be shipping w/o any indication they are using CF. It is pretty clear from feedback the buyers aren't opening their packages and immediately recognizing them as fake....an ....they probably just assume good and either use them (seems most popular use case) or keep some.

It seems anyone buying would need to do some tests (have comfort they were USPS sourced) and assume the worst on any forever stamp purchase.

Quanah-Is Stampsplanet also known as
China-USA-Classics Stamps? If it is then I would be very suspicious. I have watched that seller for quite a while. They offer all these $200 face lots for $99.99 with free priority shipping. Their lots all look like they use genuine older denominated stamps and then pad the lots with Forever or modern high denomination stamps. I assume those are counterfeits that they use to actually make money when they sell one of these postage lots. I would contact the seller and tell them you think were sold counterfeit stamps and get your money back. They'll probably deny knowing anything about how counterfeit stamps could have gotten into their postage lots but will probably be more than willing to refund your money in exchange for not getting a negative review or getting ebay involved.
