NO, You don't have to accept paypal on pick-up only items. It creates a legal loop-hole in favour of the buyer and no private seller can be forced into this loop-hole. I refund in full anyone who try to push this issue as I won't have a bar of pre-payments of any type, not just Paypal. If you once accept pre-payment on an item which the buyer must collect, the buyer doesn't have to comply with any preset time limits on pick-up..they can take as long as they want and you are obliged to hold the goods in good order for the buyer until they are collected...don't go there. I was caught with this some years back, the buyer paid by bank deposit, then came up with excuse after excuse why he couldn't collect and he moved address during the period which wound up being some 18 months before the item was collected and there was nothing I could do...so never again. Ebay can't enforce Paypal on pick-up for this reason, they just won't admit it. I have no problems telling ebay where to stick their PP rules.
