<p>[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 2769776, member: 83956"]So maybe 2-3 times a year I sell something on eBay. Because I never wanted to bother learning about international shipping, I would just say “shipping to continental U.S. only.” But several weeks ago I sold a coin on eBay and later heard a Canadian collector grumble that he was going to bid on the coin but couldn’t because of my “U.S. only” shipping policy. So I figured I should get over my postal cowardice and enlarge my potential market by expanding my options a bit, especially since I'm getting ready to sell a scarce Licinius I with a VOT / XV FEL / XX RP reverse.

So what do I need to know about international shipping? What are the baby steps to expand beyond the U.S.? Is there a simple way to ship internationally, and insured?[/QUOTE]
