Splitting Up Local Delivery and Pickup

If you're like me, you'll occasionally run across some items in your house that you just don't need any more and have good value, but would be a big pain to ship (maybe a dresser, or an older TV). For a lot of people, that type of stuff is easiest to sell locally, and to offer pickup or delivery to your buyers.

However, when you list those things on eBay, you can only choose one option when you get to the Shipping section: "Local Pickup/Delivery." Not being able to split up those two choices causes some sellers to bypass it completely - they understandably don't want their buyers thinking they'll deliver an item when they only want to offer pickup, or vice versa. So we're making a simple change that should make these options much more attractive: we're splitting those two out! Now you'll be able to explicitly say whether you're willing to deliver that dresser, or whether the buyer needs to pick it up.

Amit from our eBay Local team has been leading the charge here, and sat down to talk with us about the change and how it can benefit you. You can also check out the announcement he made today for more info as well.
