What is this QR code ? On Local Pick ups

[boxcarcharlie]

Thank you in advance I have to turn in I get up early

I bought a item from a seller and picked it up - I paid the night before - the seller asked me for a QR code - that has never happened to me before and I have bought well over 850 items in the past couple years which at least 10 were local pick - ups and even one a friend in the UK handled for me and shipped my item for me .

I told her I never heard of that - well she contacted me tonight and said eBay wants a QR code so she can get paid ? any ideas ?

I do not get it. I thought I would ask here before calling eBay tomorrow 

The seller is wonderful and I left her feedback - eBay took the money out of my account 

Again - Thank you in advance

A QR code is sent to you in the order confirmation eMail.  It is a code that the seller scans on pickup as proof of delivery. The seller doesn't need it to receive payment only to prove delivery.

It looks something like this

@boxcarcharlie,

Since it is the seller who has to scan the QR code, in the email there is also a 6 digit code you can send them that they can use to prove the item was delivered.

FYI, when using local pickup, paying in advance is not a great way to go.  It is better to pay after inspecting the item.

I did say eMail, not messages.

Yes , Thank you - it was not in my eBay messages on eBay - but was in my regular email - 

It was a big help for me and the seller who is slightly new 😀

Cheers
