EBay cash on pick up.

[aargee]

I was going to add this to Dave's EBay thread but...

I had four auctions cancelled today mid auction, because I requested cash on pick up only. I don't know if I've just been lucky in the past to have auctions complete successfully with the same terms, but cash when picking up is the only secure way for the seller to sell non post-able items. As per EBay rules, I have to accept PayPal for pickup items as well and I'm not allowed to indicate otherwise.
It is a pain, because now I've missed my window to sell items before Christmas as I'll be unable to do any selling until mid Jan.
I don't know what bidders must think of me when they see items suddenly pulled like this, I mean they could just ask you to fix the listing or remove it?!?
It may be off to Gumtree in the future, as, by their actions, EBay is suggesting I go elsewhere to sell my items.

Don't they own gumtree too?

My mom did the click and collect from safeway. I have 2-3 safeway near me, yet she had to travel to choice of 2 stores miles away. Not sure how the collection worked. She mentioned something about PIN. Not sure if lockers perhaps?

I had this problem long ago : you cannot accept cash if you're also sending items.
either cash AND pickup only
or paypal and send items.
but cannot do cash and send items on the same auction
may be you did the same ?
