Can you please help me with the identification and value??
Malolo has the ID right, though two of those do have value. The Straight Settlements 5c is the 1883 issue with a value in my catalog of $1.10. Street value is going to depend on condition issues that we may not be able to see from the scan. Centering is off in two directions to the left and down and there's a small perforation problem at the bottom. I'd estimate street value at $0.05-0.25. The Great Britain 1/2d is the 1870 issue, plate number 4 (typically called the bantam issue due to it's small size). It has a catalog value of $32.50. Again street value is based on condition, yours is off center enough that the perfs cut into the design at right and just touching at bottom. The perforations look OK but the cancel is fairly heavy. As with most issues from European countries the collectors are more picky than with the rest of the world, so catalog values reflect stamps in better condition than normal. I'd estimate street value at $3.00-5.00. As Malolo suggests they are likely not going to be worth offering on eBay, though it would probably be worth looking at completed auctions for the bantam. If you do decide to offer them include only those two, the rest will lower the value of the lot rather than raise it.

Ofter this i will be more careful when i want to buy something.
Yes, this is true of almost all collectables. It's very easy to get caught up in the moment and end up with something that works well as a conversation starter but has little or no intrinsic value. You really have to know your subject to find an actual bargain.
