I have often sold items for collection only which I have put in the header and the district.
I also tick the box which says cash on collection so the buyer can pay by cash but it still has a Paypal default.
I dont like the ` make an offer`add on and will delete if if I see it.
Providing your messages make it crystal clear that you are not selling outside Ebay then there will not be a problem. Ebay read the messages for any dodgy ones so you can be quite pointed that you will not accept a lower price for a cash sale.

It is likely a bot reads the messages to pick up on certain words, my warning was for a sale that was definitely not off eBay, but the bot picked up on buyer trying to get my address for collection.
It is near impossible to share an address or any other contact details now via eBay messages. however, and this is a big However ....business sellers have their details on each listing and there should be enough there for any buyer with common sense to contact them without going through eBay. Obviously that doesn't work for private sellers.
