If the chairs match then sell in one listing. If they don't then sell them separately, that's the way I would handle it, of course this is without knowing what KIND of chairs. For example buyers might not want two recliner chairs.

The chairs would have to be listed as Freight if you want to offer shipping.

I do NOT recommend you use Freight shipping because if the item is late arriving or damaged in shipping then you have to refund the buyer. If you want the item back before you issue a refund for a damaged item then you have to pay return shipping.

I would just list as local pick up only. Then in the description state the buyer can arrange their own freight pick up. This way you are not responsible for items lost/ late or damaged in shipping. Pick Up by a 3rd party voids the eBay MBG. Just be sure to get the code before you release the items.

Here's how to list with local pick up:

How you select Local pick up only depends on which listing tool you are using.

1. Quick Listing Tool:
If the listing tool you are using has a Gear symbol in the upper right corner then you are using the Quick Listing Tool.

To select Local Pick Up only on the Quick Listing Tool you do NOT check the ship your item box and then scroll down and select more options then check Local Pick Up in the shipping section.

2. If you are using the New Listing Tool. It will have the option to add a video in the photo section.

Scroll down to the Shipping section and select Local Pick Up only from the first drop down box.

If you have a shipping option showing then you need to click on the 3 dots in the box and delete it.

The second Local Pick Option at the bottom of the listing tool is only to be used if you want to offer shipping AND local Pick Up.

When the buyer picks up the item be sure to ask for the QR code to scan or enter the 6 digit code into the app:

Go to the sold listing on the eBay cellphone app and select Arrange pick up. Then you scan the QR code or enter the 6 digit code that the buyer receives when they pay for the item at checkout.

The QR code is your proof of delivery and helps get your funds released sooner.
