Hi, I listed a collection only item two days ago, so far received two messages asking me to post. My item clearly states collection only. I won't be posting it. My questions are...do I need to respond to these questions? Do I block these buyers? They clearly have no intention of collecting.
I have updated my listing yet again stating collection only and added a photo stating such.
Thank you.

In answer to your questions, common courtesy would be to reply, stating simply this is a collection only item. As to whether you block the again your choice, but I would be inclined to add them, whilst this particular item is live. You can do that via your buyer requirements.

Ok I have replied. Agreed, common courtesy.

If you've no bids then I'd go back in and revise your listing and add an extra line to the description, something like:
THIS IS A COLLECTION IN PERSON LISTING ONLY WITH NO POSTAGE OPTION.
I'd also mention a collection time period i.e.within 7 days if you want it collected and out of the way within a given time period.
