@AnonymousIs it acceptable to put best offer on a local pickup listing and state in the listing that you are more amenable to offers if cash payment is used? That's not discouraging electronic payment, but it is offering savings to the buyer if they are comfortable with cash payment.
Hi @lovtaco0, it is acceptable to indicate your preference for cash payment, you just aren't allowed to discourage electronic payments. Comments such as, "I will cancel a PayPal payment for local pickup," is not acceptable, but "Cash is preferred for local pickup and may factor into my consideration of a Best Offer" would be fine, as it is along the same lines as "I offer combined shipments and Best Offers for multiple items are encouraged"

Trinton ; We are talking about local buyer pickup, where Buyer has far more control by paying with cash ! Fact is they are going to have their hands on goods looking over item they are going buy. This means No chance of buyer fraud , Or Snads or remorse issue . Also no returns for local pickup . I have no Need for Online payments for a local pickup by my buyers .

If the buyer went to pick up the item and found it was not described accurately, they would be protected in a return request.
That's good, however it is in direct contradiction to the written policy
Not Covered:
Local pickup items that were not collected by, or on behalf of, the buyer
Hilariously, that wording recently replaced wording that said exactly the opposite: that there's not protection for items that WERE picked up by the buyer. Maybe eBay should just eliminate all the wording on the policy pages and just say: See Trinton.

It says local pickup is not covered if the item is NOT picked up by the buyer. If the buyer did NOT pick up the item or arrange pickup then they are not covered. They can file an INR or a SNAD but if the buyer did not make arrangements to pick up the item then eBay would rule against them.
Look at the section that says what is covered:
Items collected in person are covered, provided all other requirements are met
SNADs are covered with limitations. Trinton previously told us that items that can be inspected at the time of pickup like a bike or a table are not eligible for a SNAD. Something like a washing machine IS eligible for a SNAD IF the seller does not provide means for the buyer to plug in and test the item before bringing it home.
