Buyer has not picked up item

How long should you have to wait for buyer to collect item, it has been paid for (but pending) will i have to wait till it is picked up before the funds are released ? and how will eBay know that the item has been picked up ?

Buyer should give you collection code when they pick up item.

This releases money to you.

Did buyer select collection, as you have postage as well on listings.

Re: Buyer has not picked up item

If it is the item which sold a week ago, you could send one message giving the buyer a date for collection - maybe tell them that if it isn't collected by next weekend, you will cancel it and refund them.  Remind them if and when they collect, they will need to give you the collection code.  No code - no item.

 

Deal with the collection code (if all goes well) in this way:

 

Proof of collection

Proof of collection is required to protect you against item not received cases. 

For proof of collection you can choose one of these options:

  • On desktop, manually enter the buyer's 6 digit code in View order details
  • Use the eBay app to scan the QR code the buyer received through email
  • Use the eBay app to manually enter the 6-digit code the buyer received through email
  • Ask the buyer to confirm they’ve collected in person through the item’s order details

To scan the QR code or enter the 6-digit code:

  1. Go to Selling on the eBay App.
  2. Go to the Orders tab.
  3. Select the sold item being collected.
  4. Click the drop down button on the blue Send Payment Reminder banner at bottom of the page.
  5. Select Scan collection code from the list of options.
  6. You can either scan the QR code or manually enter the 6-digit code the buyer received through email.

To add.

Although by not collecting in person they invalidate ebay MBG,  you still need collection code.

They could give it to driver or you phone buyer for it before releasing item.
