The time to ask for shipping costs or whether a seller accepts pick ups is before you make a purchase.

Many sellers don't want strangers to their house.

All you can do is ask for a mutual cancellation but the seller is not obliged to and may open an unpaid item case so the cancellation doesn't register as a defect on their account.

That means your account will receive a strike.

2 or more strikes on your account and you can't bid or buy from sellers with blocks.

Sellers are charged fees as soon as you win or buy an item, 9.9% in FVFees.
