Just as the title states, I recently found out that in the new and improved venue, I must offer Paypal when I list an item for local pick up only. Thinking it was only a glitch, I tried listing again, same "error message". Got on with live help, was told it was a T & S issue, contacted T & S twice by email (no reply yet however, it's only been 2 weeks, I musn't be so demanding) Just got off the phone with eBay seller support who told me "yes you must accept Paypal for local pick only auctions.
I waited for the theme music from the Twilight Zone to start playing. No such luck. When I reminded the C/S rep how Paypal insists on an on-line tracking number in case of a claim of non-delivery, he verbally shrugged his shoulders telling me, "its policy now" When I asked him "when some savvy scammer gets wind of this, and purchases a larger ticket item from me, pays via Paypal, comes over to pick it up, then contacts Paypal a few days later claiming non-delivery, Paypal will side with me, right?" There was silence on the other end of the line. I asked the question again. More silence followed by " It's policy" To which I responded, "its insanity". He then asked if there was anything else he could "help" me with. I thought it best at that point to put the phone down. Much better for my head-space.
