Once told someone wanting to collect an item in person that although my stealth location appeared to be in Kent, so a relatively a short distance from the buyer, the item was being sold by me for a friend who lived up North and the item was still in his possession, was quite a heavy item as well so I ended up sending it via My Hermes.
One I use a lot is saying that I am staying with family for the next 2 weeks in 'insert actual location' and its not possible to collect.
That thought crossed my mind but id be flummoxed if she said that she would be happy to wait that long.
She wants to collect and pay cash to save on postage :-)

I've gotten alot of sales in my own city which is big and never had a issue with buyers.
If they ask I simply tell them I need proof of delivery and have to ship it even if they live 15 minutes away. I personally wouldn't mind doing local pick ups on occasion BUT they can then easily open a case and win it because I wouldn't have "proof" without valid tracking.
So in otherwords just tell them for your protection you would need to ship it.
Think of it like buying from a website strictly online only (no brick motor store)...
You can't do a "local pickup" if you live in the same city as them can you?
They'd probably think your crazy for asking....haha

This is a good reason to cancel the transaction just advise that those are your terms Also note that she should have contacted you in regards before the purchase was made word this nicely and proceed with a refund and transaction cancellation

In ebay under the drop down list when cancelling ,there should be a option that states buyer did not agree to terms or wish to ship to different address dont quote me on that but something to that effect is there .
