That’s not what it says here, it only refers to larger items unsuitable for shipping, not Cars, Motorcycles & vehicles. This was multiple large boxes of old Scalextric kit that would have cost a lot more to ship (if that were even possible) than I asked for them.
Buying with local pickup
Many sellers offer free local pickup, especially for large items which may be difficult to ship. You can collect the item in person, inspect it before you take it home, and save money by not having to pay for shipping.
When you purchase an item that's available for local pickup, you’ll receive information on the item’s location at checkout. If you need to know more before purchasing, select Contact seller on the listing.
How to arrange a local pickup
After making your purchase, contact the seller to arrange a time and place to collect your item, and agree on how you’ll pay for it.
The seller will let you know which payment methods they accept. In addition to credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal, you can sometimes pay for local pickup items by internet banking, check, or money order—either beforehand or when you pick up your item. Sellers may also accept cash for local pickup purchases.
After you’ve completed your purchase, we’ll send an email with a Local Pickup code (a QR code and a 6 digit code) to your Messages. You can either print off your email or show the seller the message on the app when you collect your item. The seller will scan or enter the code on the eBay app to confirm you’ve picked up your item.
