how to use click and collect as a buyer

[grangeroyston]

Please can someone explain to me how to buy something with click and collect. The ebay help says after finding an item with click and collect to "choose select a store". I can't see "select a store" anywhere. I seem to remember, before I ever tried to use click and collect, that under the postage tab on the item listing, there was a drop down for argos stores. None of the items I've looked at which have click and collect in the listing have the argos drop down. I know there's a lot of help messages with people saying click and collect has been added to their listing without their knowledge, so I wonder if that's the problem - all the items I've tested have had click and collect added without the seller's knowledge. I don't want to click the 'buy it now' button and find there's no option for click and collect on the other side - but is that how it works?

The sellers choose to have Click and Collect on their listings or not as they wish 

They can opt in or out.

Just checked items I have on Click and collect and it says Choose store on checkout.

I have never bought an item with click and collect but it does sound as if you choose when you go to pay.

Does not seem to tell you before you buy what shops/collection points are available.

thanks for your help. I don't think I'll risk it then!

If a store on the list if not convenient then could you not arrange to have an item posted to a relative or friend or neighbour.

IN fact Click and collect is not always good as reports on here show.

Saying that, on the positive side I have it on my listings and up to now have had no problems with it

Option to pick store only shows on payment page.

A lot of Argos stores no longer provide service, small convenience stores (e.g. Londis) now allow it.

However if you read these page often, lots of complaints with C&C, I would never use it.

thanks for your reply. the other person who replied says the click and collect option appears under the postage tab, so I don't know who to believe now

Click & Collect is not something a buyer chooses

Click & Collect is only available where it is offered by a seller

Where Click & Collect is offered the option will appear under postage options

If a seller is not offering Click & Collect then it is not available

There is a minimum value for C&C through Argos

I don't know how to use this community thing - I have 2 answers to my question but when I show both there's no option to reply. I have to reply to each answer separately. The other answer to my question says the option for click and collect shows during payment. Your answer says it appears under postage options. So I don't know who to believe! Thanks for taking the trouble to reply

If click and collect is offered by the seller it shows under postage on the listing. The stores show when you go to pay. Both answers are correct.

@grangeroyston

Where C&C is offered it appears on the advert below the price in the postage option as "collection"

The list of stores only appears at checkout for you to select
