Is there anything to lose? Won't  Amazon compensate?
Maybe it's an investment opportunity!

What is the investment and what is the return?

Wow. Never in my mind would I think a buyer can get screwed on Amazon. I can only guess it doesn't happen too often

And Amazon offers no protection to the buyer at all?
Is that the rule of the game?

You will get a refund, but don't waste your time.

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Don't see anything that looks non scammy. Probably counterfeit. Not even such a good price for USPS forever stamps. You can get cheaper online, from more established (not saying authentic) sellers.

Did you notice that they avoided using the word "stamps"

Must be against Amazon T&Cs to sell them. They're probably trying to circumvent flagged keywords.
Interestingly, however, they are shipped from Amazon...

It's also in the wrong stamps section. It's not under "postage stamps", it's under "stamps" in the art section.

ETA: and the sellers' address doesn't exist.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

"5Sheetsof100(Total 100)"

100 stamps for $60 isn't a good buy.
But it's not clear if it's 500 or 100 stamps.

My thoughts were that it's so obviously not authentic stamps that it's possible Amazon won't even reimburse you if you claim you were scammed.

There is a 35% off coupon.
