Shipping options filter

Of course its free! Nobody's gonna pay you for "local pickup"!  I've never seen a listing of an item I like, that I can pick up near my location anyways! Maybe some day, but what are the chances? Obviously, I don't have any desire to scroll through 100 pages of listings that say "free local pickup" and DO NOT offer any kind of shipping options at all! What's the point? So, I click "filter", scroll to "shipping options", and choose "free shipping". I only want to see listings that offer shipping! Free or not, I still get all the listings with "free local pickup" anyway! Still get all the listings from sellers who will not ship! That's just **bleep**ed! How can I look for items I dont have to pickup, much less pay to pick up myself?!

Just a reminder, as you probably know this:  The majority of items listed for local pickup are items too large or bulky to make shipping a reasonable option, like furniture.

And you probably know this also:  When you find an item listed with free shipping, you can be fairly certain that the shipping cost has been built into the item price.  If I list something for $50 with $10 shipping and my competitor lists the identical thing for $60 with free shipping, which will you choose?
