Is it legal for a convenient store to sell a postage stamp for 60 cents?

The law says the post office can only sell stamps at face value, but a stamp dealer can charge anything the customer is willing to pay. The same is true of a convenience store.

Good question. Yes it is legal. You are paying the merchant for the service, not just for the stamp.
BTW stamps.com is a website which is approved by the US Postal Service to sell special type stamps. These include photo stamps and university stamps. You will pay almost $1.00 a piece for a regular .39 stamp. Hope this helps.

No, and they must have a license from the post office to re-sell stamps - they may not have a license if they are adding a profit margin to their stamps. Report them at your local post office.

Only if it is designated as worth 60 cents by the postal service. Report them to your local postmaster.

No. Federal law says face value. Contact the local postmaster.
