If you do sell on ebay and someone pays with PayPal but wants to arrange their own courier, say no.
Also, if they want to to collect it but pay with PayPal, say no.
These are both scams being used by nobbers to steal goods from people. They arrange their own courier/collect it in person, then open a claim with PP saying they've not received it.
You can't prove they've had it, PP side with the customer and give them their money back.
I'm not scare mongering, just telling you what I've known happen to a couple of people.
Good luck.
PS: cracking bike you're floggin' there matey, can't imagine why you'd be selling it myself TBH.

Is that a question or a statement? It needs punctuation.
You are right, my mistake.

Ask them to bring passport, then photocopy passport/take picture of them/passport etc etc.

You could, but it's an unnecessary faff and a half IMO, and I'm not sure it would help either. PayPal want proof of posting/courier or else they just stiff you!
IMO if someone wants to collect something then there is no reason they can't pay cash, nice and simple, everything is squeaky

If I bought something from you off ebay and paid by Paypal then came round and picked it up I could then contact Paypal / Ebay and claim I had not received the item and unless you could provide the required signed POD from a courier / royal mail then I would get my money back.

Yes it might get resolved eventually but Paypal would freeze your account and hold onto your money for weeks and that is if the cops are even interested.
I used to be a power seller on ebay and the crap some people pull is simply unbelievable.
I have a customer who sells laminate flooring online and used to use paypal as the payment gateway, so a customer orders some flooring the gets the flooring then says he didn't receive it and gets his money back my customer got the police involved and have even seen the flooring fitted no one is interested.

Yeah I understand, albeit it would have to be a fraudster with a lot of front to try it. Most would walk away and leave it for some other sap to pick up the pieces.
Actually, quite interesting that about your customer. Swap flooring for car and the police would be swarming all over it.
