Am I obliged to post a fragile item when it was listed as local pick up only?

I have contacted the buyer and said that I would prefer not to post as the item is fragile.

Haven't had a reply yet.

Can I refund the buyer and relist the item?

Thanks

You are not obligated to sending the item.

Send the buyer a cancellation, select buyer changed mind so you don't get a defect.

Once the buyer agrees, refund the payment and you are free to relist.

With a cancellation or unpaid item case completed, your fee is credited back.

 

When you relist make it clear in the listing it is Pick up only and perhaps also state a date to picked up by after sale.

Thank you so much for your advice.

I did not want to pack 6 crystal glasses and post to Sydney, when they were purchased for 

only $20.

I will proceed as you have suggested.
