Why???
Im offering to pay cash on pick up for an item worth around £50 but the seller (who is zero rated with no history) has said he will only take cheque or paypal!
Am I missing something here???

yes --also they would not pay ebay/paypal charges.....weird!!!0

he/she may not want personal callers to pick item up....
do they offer collection on the listing....0 -
Yeah the pick up seems a problem to me. Some sellers put their costs and extra profit into the p and p, which you would obviously not want to pay if you picked it up.
Maybe offer to pay everything and meet in a neutral place?There is no need to run outside

Nor to peer from a window.

But he's agreed for me to pick up from his home but wants cheque or paypal! it weird!ee bye gum0 -
Is he worried about forged notes perhaps or you paying cash and then saying you never received the item?? Maybe if you offered to sign a receipt saying you had received the item (and vice versa he signs a receipt for you to say he received cash) - might help

Seller's a newbie, and not versed in the knowledge of paypal.
If he carries on accepting paypal for collection items, he's going to get stung.My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0
