    I was actually looking at setting up a page on facebook! but obviously need to look into rules and regs on this, just like a business page. I am happy to offer bank transfer as it would only be friends anyway but wanted some alternative method ... apart from paypal!, has anybody used nochex or anything similar - what is google checkout or is that only linked to websites!!

    If it's only going to be friends buying, if they're collecting they can surely pay cash. Or would some of it be posted? If so bank transfer if your friends agree to it.

    Google Checkout - I have used many times as a buyer, and its probably the same service you use with Android Play Store. Not sure if ebay rules allow but may be an alternative for you to take payments.

    Please note when responding that this thread is almost a year old.

    I also believe Google checkout is not permitted on ebay,
