Pick up only scams and eBay's crumbling search engine
When I search for items, it now shows me tons of Pickup Only results
There are clearly scams.
They have zero feedback
There is no way to disable pick up results!

·Sep 15, 2026 at 10:54 PM@neworleans_43 What specifically are you talking about. Lots of things are sold as Pick Up Only. That by no stretch of the imagination means they are scams. There are some things that are just to heavy, big and/or fragile to actually ship so sellers do Local Pick Ups only.
A new member does not always = a bad member. As for buyers, we need them in order to grow and have a future selling here. Without new blood on a regular basis, we would all whither.
As a buyer, no you can't disable pick up only. That is a designation in the control of the seller.
