Seller might be housebound at present; not able or not willing to bring satchel to post office.
Post office might be about half an hour away or more.
Seller might be worried about tracking and proof of delivery (although I realise tracking is included).
Seller might feel itโs too risky to send through post, especially if past experience includes damaged items.
Seller may be concerned about not having the pick-up code to prove pickup.
Seller may note protection difference in MBG for pickup items.
Seller isnโt being offered any compensation for time and expense of carefully packaging and delivering to PO.
Seller may not want to give you his/her address. (Pickup may have been going to be from a neutral place.)
Seller may understandably be wary about dealing with buyer who ignored the terms of the sale.
Seller is a new seller who may be trying to build up their selling profile without having to deal with held funds for weeks, and thus have listed pickup only with cash on pickup preferredโฆ with the plan of listing with postage once they know their funds will be released without that delay.
Seller is new and inexperienced, thus hyper-vigilant as already suggested, and trying to work out if you are planning some sort of scam.
Take your pick.
Bottom line, OP, is that you are demanding something not in the listing. Seller has every right to refuse. Asserting that the seller is inflexible because they wonโt do what you want when the listing clearly states pickup only is trying to flip blame onto the seller when it is your problem, your issue, not theirs. You could certainly ask the seller if they would agree to listing the item to you in prepaid satchelโฆ but four emails about it indicates that they refused and you kept on badgering them.
If you canโt pick up the item, I suggest you apologise to the seller and request that they cancel the sale with the reason โproblem with buyerโs addressโ.
