It is not safe for the seller to take a Paypal payment for a Collection in person item, and the seler has indicated that they wish to be paid in cash.
Paying via Paypal has put them in an impossible situation now, as they will be reluctant to allow you to collect.
Best to ask if they would cancel and refund. They could relist and you could buy again but this time pay cash after you have inspected the table.
