Local pick up QR code

[mytreechange]

I've purchased an item which I will be picking up.

The eBay help article says I'll receive an email with a QR code to give to the buyer once the order has been completed.

Does anyone know when this is sent?  Is it only after payment has been made?  If so, that's a problem as the seller understandably prefers cash on pick up.

I'm not sure if the seller even knows about the code, but want to have it ready if he asks for it, but the only email I've received so far is a confirmation that I'm the winning bidder, and prompting me to pay.

Any help is appreciated, but I've already read the help articles so those links aren't needed.

Thanks for any help.

My understanding is that the code is only used if buyer has paid ebay.....cash payments - you are on your own
