Thanks for that. I haven't been on ebay for a while but the collection code sounds like a great idea.

It's actually one of the benefits of the new managed payments and plugs a problem loop hole that many sellers used to encounter.

With managed payments sellers can now protect against an INR claim on a collected item where buyer has paid via MP. Details here

obviously not needed for cash on collection.
