Hi Sadiemae,
You can't buy another countries postage in your own country, and it usually costs more to mail to another country. I could probably pay a board member to buy me some US stamps and mail them to me, but I would still have to know how much extra it would cost the person to mail it to me in Canada compared to how much it would be to mail to someone in the USA. For example it costs about 54 cents to mail a regular letter in Canada, but about $1.05 for me to mail a regular letter from Canada to a friend in the US.
Clear as mud? I've been getting quite an education in postage since I joined the board and (good news/bad news) discovered the swaps and the classified section! LOL
