It looks like the Paypal only thing is a thing of the past. Also, I have noticed a lot of local pickup as options. I thought this was gone too.

Those were in the works when they made the last announcements. I remember them stating a "couple others to be announced" when they are checked over by Ebay eschelon. The same crappola though.

Local pickup has never been tabu. its an option they ask you when you list and if you choose it, its diplayed as "free shipping - local pickup" in the shipping info box of the auction.

Yeah!! More ways to say :thumbsdn:

You know why they don't like local pickup?? The buyer comes over, pays, leaves with the item and you delist it with no final fee. Plus, no paypal sometimes.
