Buy It Now BUT Collection only - HOW?

Is someone around who can help me out. I'm wanting to put something on eBay which is collection only, however by putting a Buy It Now price eBay does not appear to allow me to select No postage. I really want this as I want it to appear on www.localbargainfinder.co.uk How do I do it? The only way I can think of is to put a Buy It Now price but not to specify requires Immediate payment. Anyone around to give me a quick bit of help?
TIA

    You should be able to select collection only option. Its just a tick box. How are you listing directly via turbo lister or some other method

    Thanks for replying...Can't see "Collection only", only "No Postage - local pickup only". I'm going into eBay and selecting Sell from a tab at the top right hand of the screen.

    This is where you're going wrong. If it's collection only, you want them to pay cash, and you can't pay cash immediatley

    So I should untick the box which says "Requires immediate payment" with relation to the Buy It Now price?

    Is "Collection only" the same as "No postage - local pickup only"? Cause I don't see "Collection only"

    Don't forget though not to say it is cash only as that will get your listing pulled if reported. Buyers must have the option to pay by paypal.
