[QUOTE="Volante, post: 24497353, member: 57279"]I sell some coins on eBay, and was previously using eBay's Global Shipping Program, which was recently changed to the International Shipping Program. In those programs, I just shipped my packages to an eBay hub in the U.S., and they handle the shipment overseas from there. But now eBay has added a restriction that means anything made of a precious metal is not eligible for the program, so no silver or gold coins (and seemingly even bronze coins as well). I confirmed this with several eBay customer service reps after finding that my listings were suddenly no longer showing international shipping options. I'll now have to handle international shipping myself, which I haven't done before. Curious from others who have shipped coins internationally: [LIST] [*]What shipping options do you use, i.e. USPS First Class Mail International or something else? [*]How do you handle setting customs value and filling out customs forms? Can those be filled out online? [*]Any countries you refuse to ship to (and why)? [/LIST][/QUOTE]
