Selling for cash on collection - timescales to collect?

[Tabitha8]

I have a couple of items to sell for cash on collection and wondered if there's any etiquette on ebay about how long I should give buyers to collect? Do I need to put something in the ad about a timescale? I'm a bit new to this; I've only ever posted stuff before. Thanks!

most cash on collection items state something in listing like

" contact to arrange collection to be made within 24/48 hours of auction ending, items must be collected within 7-10 days"

obviously you can not say 7 days but only between 2-3pm on thursday

I would think someone should email via ebay and then give mobile number you give your address they give approx time

reasonable to collect is most evening s and at least one weekend day

if they can only collect from you at weekends say so

Ah, brilliant. That makes sense. Many thanks!
