Seems sometings never change. Must 15 years you have come to this board asking easy questions for anyone who is not to lazy to look in a catalog. Then when you get an answer you often seem not to believe it.
Why in the world would you list a stamp you now know to be Ryukyus No. 12 in the U.S. or Japan?

Peetah,
I normally list Ryukyus under Japan but if you check the listings you will find many that place them under US Possessions,

For adherents of jeapody, there was a Ryūkyū kingdom from 1429to1644. There are over 100 islands extending from Kyūshū to Taiwan in a volcanic island arc,convex to the east. The northern (satsunan islands)are included within Kagoshima prefecture of Japan, the southern(ryukyu islands) are included within Okinawa prefecture. The USA exercised military and civilian control from 1945 to 1972 when it reverted to Japan

Well, I'm sorry, but it seems I did not consider a few things that would have totally changed my response if any. I always sell my Ryukyu stamps under Ryukyu Islands I have never considered selling them under U.S. or Japan. However from the answers others are giving Ebay must not have a category for Ryukyu? I don't sell on Ebay anymore but the place I do has a category for Ryukyu and I would expect Ebay to have one. The other thing is that Scott does not show a picture of the stamp which would make it quite hard to find in a catalog. This is a big problem and one of the main reasons I started my website way bcak when. You should have been able to find that stamp on my site in less than a minute. Of course it is on the first page and most stamps will take a little longer but you can save a large amount of time and frustration using it.
