Seller AcademyUpdated 13 July 2026

Pickup can reduce delivery cost, but the arrangement must be clear, safe and suitable for the product.

Before confirming pickup

  • Confirm the product is reserved and available.
  • Agree the location and collection time.
  • Explain accepted payment arrangements.
  • Provide a business or public pickup point where possible.

At collection

  • Allow the buyer to check the item where appropriate.
  • Confirm the product matches the order.
  • Record the handover through the order process.
  • Provide proof of payment or receipt where applicable.

Protect personal safety

  • Avoid isolated meeting places.
  • Do not disclose unnecessary private information.
  • Use staffed pickup locations for high-value items where possible.
Important

Never pressure a buyer to meet in an unsafe location or to carry large amounts of cash.
