Are you a seller looking to offer local pickup on your listing? Read our article on: offering local pickup.
When you purchase an item that's available for local pickup, you'll receive information on the item's location at checkout. If you need to know more before purchasing, select Contact seller on the listing.
How to arrange a local pickup
After making your purchase, contact the seller to arrange a time and place to collect your item, and agree on how you'll pay for it.
The seller will let you know which payment methods they accept. In addition to paying via eBay checkout, you can sometimes pay for local pickup items by internet banking, cheque or money order – either beforehand or when you pick up your item. Sellers may also accept cash for local pickup purchases.
After you've completed your purchase, we'll send you an email with a local pickup code (a QR code and a 6-digit code). You can either take the email with you or show the seller the code in your eBay app when you collect your item. The seller will scan or enter the code on their eBay app to confirm you’ve picked up your item.
Tip
Items collected in person are covered by eBay Money Back Guarantee, provided all other eligibility requirements (including payment methods) are met.
