Pickup-only auctions are the exception that don't

Shipping with a tracking number and the signature of the buyer WILL NOT
protect you in any way from Paypal's tactics.
Ebay's new terms, the paypal requirement, along with phenomenal increases
in shipping costs, have taken away the marginal profits one used to make
cleaning the closet.
One would hope that Google or Bing would step up, but largess isn't any
guarantee for success.
I just bought two computers on ebay. They were set as shipping only because
the buyer didn't put in pickup as an option (it was forcing me to pay for
shipping on checkout). I picked them up and paid cash. When i went back
into ebay, it let me simply mark the items as paid. Everything worked fine.
