I went through the older horror stories of local pickup and started to wonder. Is there anything I could to protect myself.

For order pickups, get cash only. Buyers still have the option to pay via paypal, but all you have to do is refund them through paypal.

if you are the seller you should make sure you are paid in cash,any local pickup can have an INAD filed and you are then on the hook for return shipping.

There are a lot of misconceptions that filter through the discussion boards about local pickup. Information is often incorrect in the first place or becomes outdated but often continues to be disseminated by members who may mean well but continue to perpetuate myths about local pickup.
I assume you've read eBay's help pages on the subject? They're worth a read. Please consider the source of information when reading posts about it.
