How do you filter out - "Pickup Only: Free"

We need items that are posted only, as we cannot collect.
I find it very hard to sift through 300 items looking for postage on items. If i select 'lowest price & P&P' it brings up the pickup only items at the top, which is pretty much every item.
Im looking for a Plastic Playhouse that someone is willing to post out.
Regards.

EDIT..sorry, I completely mis read your post..this is exactly the opposite to what you need!
I use this website, just scroll down, put your postcode in and it searches for you, then you can refine it more by clicking on the 'sort by' option then 'nearest first' so it does all in 5 miles, followed by all in 10 miles etc this will sort all the pick up items in your area.

OR if its for a specific item, search that, then just refine by clicking the 'sortby' option and selecting 'nearest first'0 -
Search for "playhouse -collect -collection -collected" and tick "Include title and description" on search

To filter down to who would deliver, then you could try 'free P&P' option on the left hand side, but double check the listing as some sellers choose this by mistake when listing a collection only item!
Ive had a quick look using this method, however I think you are going to be very lucky to find a private seller who will deliver, you would still need to do a 'local' search and check the listings to see if they say 'will deliver locally' or perhaps ask a seller if he could deliver for a mimimal fee per mile if you see one locally that you like, other wise you are looking at business sellers who would use a courier, but then they are likely to be selling new ones, and they will be much more expensive...depends what you are looking for.0 -
Are you going to warn them that you will give them a negative if they dare to charge you more than tuppence ha'penny to post a large parcel to Cyprus?Alias_Omega wrote: »

You could try putting a wanted ad in the "Want it now" section specifying delivery/posting only.0

sounds like a perfect FreeCycle WANTED item to me....I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.0

I think anyone they approach to post a large item will take one look at their history and say no. (If they have any sense).They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0 -
Actually OP, I think that if you now live in Cyprus you should change your location on eBay, else we'll soon be seeing a post from a seller on here along the lines of"sold an item listed for UK buyers only, now being expected to post to Cyprus..."They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0
