How does collect in person work for the seller?

Question

I have not sold anything collect in person before so not you’re how it works for the seller. Does the buyer still have to pay via eBay before collecting the item?  I’m receiving messages asking about convenient time to collect and have now messaged saying they are bringing cash. Not sure I want to give them my address on that basis. thanks in advance

The buyer has to pay through checkout and then you can give them your address.   They then have to give you a collection code or mark as collected, before they leave with the item.   Apart from motor vehicles cash is no longer a payment method.   There is useful ebay guidance on collection items, use the help search box.
