Hi I may want to buy something quite large and heavy from Ebay is there a way to bring up listings only with postage? Most are pick up only and because I live on an Island thats not possible. Thanks.

If you see something you are interested in, I would email the seller and explain the situation and ask if its possible in this instance to arrange a courier.

I mostly ask for pick up only on large things because couriers and posting of large things is a faff. But I would consider it with good reason. Courier costs go up though for inaccessible places so I'd get a couple of estimates from couriers first.

I'm also looking to buy a large item and I've noticed that whilst the Postage section says Collection only, within the description a lot of them also give courier prices, so if you limit your search, you may miss some.

Most of the couriers charge a great deal for island deliveries though, along with Northern Ireland and the Highlands.

Thanks for your replies, where I live is a strange one for postage some places won't post here,some accept it as part of mainland and some charge a fortune! Always worth asking I just thought most sellers wouldn't want the hassle.
