I'm swapping stamps with lovely people in the US :) or you can buy a few American stamps on ebay. It's the only way I've found to get round the loss of IRC's. Good luck

Whenever I ship to the U.K. I just go to the Royal Mail's webpage and buy postage there and print it. You can do the same at usps.com

Or you could send in a couple of dollars, which is cheaper than buying U.S. postage or IRCs off eBay.

I have used IRC coupons for my fan mail and have received success' with them. You can either buy IRC from websites that sell them because they are accepted worldwide, you can buy that country's stamps, include Global Forever stamps or you could always include cash inside the letter.

You most certainly can :) There are a ton of questions asked about this exact subject, so my suggestion would be to read through some of those topics in this section of the forum. Literally 3 or 4 different people ask the same or similar each week. It is easy once you know how and figure everything out.

UK online postage expires 2 days after the purchase date, have you have a success with this method? And as far as I know, usps is the same.

Royal Mail T&C's See 6.1 also 9.1.1

If you are buying from another countries website, you have shipping costs (if they will ship abroad), exchange rates and possible fees by your card provider for making a non-native currency transaction. Wayyyyy expensive.
