How do enable "Local Pickup" as an additional shipping option on Ebay.ca?

[rvpartshopcanada]

I'm trying to offer local free pickup for customers in addition to my paid shipping options.  I can't find a place in my business policies or within the listing data itself where I can set this as an option.

Selling on ebay.ca.  Anyone got a solution?

Long seller's form:

You check off the box in the Domestic Shipping area for: Local pickup -- Buyers can pick up the item from you

I don't know what the short selling form shows.

Additional info:

(1) If you use calculated shipping the Local pickup option is not available (IMHO: a stupid eBay programming decision).

(2) If you are using flat rate shipping for Domestic Shipping, you may have to tell eBay to display the Local Pick up option. Beside the section title: Add shipping details click on the Add or remove options for Shipping link, the pop up should show your choices.

I checked it out in the simple listing tool, and it does not look like you can do local pickup and normal shipping together...

@rvpartshopcanadaTo do local pickup and shipping together in one listing, you will have to use the advanced listing form. Thanks.Alex

Thanks Dennis. Not the answer I was hoping for. You're correct, Ebay's decision was not helpful. While we're ranting, another stupid Ebay decision is that there is no UPS option for ebay.ca. We have to use flat rate shipping for any shipment that exceeds Canada Posts, size and weight restrictions. Given the enormity of the country and the wide swings in shipping rates for a given parcel, using flat rate shipping for ANY size either makes you too expensive for buyer's close to you or you lose margin on items that ship across the country. Not merchant-friendly!

Thanks again for your help.
