As a seller this is more a choice for the buyer to make and will depend on the item (a computer monitor - yes essential for work at home vs a nice fancy new TV - not essentially) however personally I wouldn't pick up an item anymore (on top of the social distancing rules)
Really can only be by delivery now
I would at least be re-thinking anything that needs more than one person to take away from a property, even though a pick-up scenario is not technically a social gathering.
While work is excluded from many of the restrictions, unless the seller is carrying on a business, an ebay sale may not technically qualify as work and therefore a gathering of more than 2 people may be called into question and not quite pass the bar. (Purely guesswork / contemplation on my part - it could be worth contacting a local police station to confirm, since in most states they are the ones enforcing the rules, so one would hope they have a good grasp on what they actually are).
Just speaking from a purely personal level, though, with the vast majority of carriers now shifting to no contact and as little interaction with people when delivering as possible, and retail stores discouraging cash transactions - or outright banning them - it may be safest from a health perspective to essentially follow suit. (i.e Maybe only sell small things for pick-up that can be slipped out of a doggy door or something, and use tongs to receive any cash, then clean before handling 
)
