Courier offered by buyer for collect in person item, can this work or would it be tricky?

Am selling a car seat, tricky to wrap up, so I'd offered collection in person only. I've received an email asking if they could arrange their own courier. The buyer seems to have excellent ratings and no negative feedback.

Is this likely to be a genuine buyer and straightforward transaction or more likely to be a dodgy scam? Are there any precautions I should take (wondering if I should relist as cash on collection rather than PayPal payment)? Only sold lower price items previously so feeling a bit anxious about this. Thanks!

I've bought things that was collection only and arranged my own courier

It was easier for me as I don't drive and it worked lovely.

But I can see how it can be abused
