Pick Up Tokens

[ConStambo]

Hello, I think it would be a great idea to implement pick up tokens that can be printed or shown by a customer which is only unique to them. Once the unique number is shown or given, it provides a proof of pick up. I guess you can implement this in the app as well. At the moment im contemplating whether or not to sell via ebay based on the fact I am forced to use an electronic payment method. Paypal can just refund the money if there is no proof of pick up (correct me if I am wrong in this instance) and whilst I want to offer it, this concerns me.

You should never use paypal for an item that is to be collected or personally delivered as you have 0 seller protection.

Your buyer can collect the item and then file a dispute for non receipt of item. As you would have no tracking number to prove delivery of the item to him then you would lose the dispute.

That is why Ebay give you the option of 'cash on collection' and you can state in your decription that that is the only payment you will accept. If a buyer pays with Paypal then you are allowed to refund that payment and re-state 'cash on collection'.

That way you have cash in hand / no wait / no fee / no risk of a dispute.
