I have a large heavy framed original acrylic painting to sell. I don't know what the cost of shipping would be and if I could sell internationally.Since I'm new to e-bay, I'm looking for some help or advice. The size about 30" X 25" weight about 15 to 20 pounds.

Re: Large heavy painting shipping cost.

Get out your phone book and start calling local shipping companies.

Ask if they ship artworks and if they have specific insurance for artwork. Also ask if they will crate for you and how much that costs.

While it is probably worthwhile shipping to the USA, overseas would be prohibitive.

Err- have you weighed the painting? I collect art and most of the works I have I can easily lift with one hand-- and I am a little old lady. The weight sounds high for a picture on canvas. Is it painted on metal or tile?
