Yep I hear what you are saying.

eBay forces you to list Paypal as an option but does not mean you have to accept it. I clearly state in my auctions that the item is local Pickup only. I always get interstate bidders but I just delete their bids.  I am happy to miss a sale to avoid having to take time of work to wait around for a courier.

I see first hand on a daily basis the amount of rip offs or frauds done via paypal. Cash in hand is the only way with a pin.

Maybe try to see if they will accept bank dep.
