Do you take cash or PayPal, had a buyer today collect an item it was only £5 and they wanted to use PayPal.

Cash only. Using PayPal for collection is a well known scam. You have no proof they have the item so they collect then claim from PayPal and you have to refund

Thanks for the prompt reply, thought I’d read it was dodgy but didn’t recall why. I got a nice crisp fiver in my hand.

eBay has an option to ask a buyer to scan a qr code when they collect now. You ask them to scan before you hand the item over so they can't claim that they don't have the item and request a refund. It makes accepting PayPal for collected items less risky
