For items sold as local pickup only, is it a good idea to accept paypal? I heard that a buyer could say that he never received the items and paypal would side with the buyer as there is no proof of delivery.
If buyer pays via paypal using goods and services method, at time of local delivery, couldn't you ask buyer to log into his phone and click delivered while you watch?
Op I really am not sure why you keep trying to pick up obscure means around this issue when there have been at least THREE totally safe and secure options presented to you in this thread already by various members. Good luck
I had a buyer use PayPal for some gear he bought in person from me. He used regular PayPal- not Family and Friends.
He listened to the gear at my house and verified that it was functioning properly and in the cosmetic condition that I advertised.
He then logged into PayPal from his phone at my place. He used a credit card tied to PayPal ( not a debit of funds from his bank account) so the funds cleared immediately on my end.
I had him put a notation in the notes section of PayPal that he picked up the gear in person and that he verified functionality and cosmetic condition.
