When you buy a stamp, you pre-pay for the delivery of the letter bearing the stamp. So that stamps are not re-used, and the Post Office cheated out of their few pennies, when a letter is mailed, the postage stamp is "cancelled" by an ink stamp across it, showing that it has now been used. The ink stamp is usually also a "post mark"- showing when and where the letter was mailed.
