Tell me about eBay collection codes

[ARainyNightInSoho]

Someone has just bought some furniture from me on eBay and is sending a courier to collect it in about an hour. The buyer won’t be collecting it. How does the collection code work, I have no idea? I don’t know how to prove it has been collected so I get my money?

They need to give whoever is picking it up the code. I wouldn't hand anything over without confirming collection first.

Thanks for the reply. The buyer messaged the code to me shortly before the collection by courier so all good
