I would not usually accept paypal for a collected item.
If the item was too large to post then I may allow it, for a laptop or a mobile phone no way!
I would insist that it is cash on collection or posted if paying with paypal.0 -

This is a real problem and the reason why I will no longer sell high end items that need collecting on ebay. If it can't be posted I don't sell it as whilst you can ask for cash on collection you cannot insist on it and a buyer has the right to use paypal. Obviously you have no worries if this is a genuine buyer, but it isn't those we need to be aware of.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
