You should never accept paypal for items that are to be collected.
That is why its the only time that ebay allow you to state "cash on collection only" for those types of items.
You have NO seller protection on paypal if the item is collected and if your buyer files non receipt of item he would probably win and you would have to refund them.
Your best bet is to refund him MAKING SURE that you select the refund option and ask him to pay cash on collect. Make sure your buyer is happy to do this first before you issue the refund.
Heres some info on pending status >>
New seller hold.

I had the same scenario but received an email telling me the payment was pending but I might get my money quicker if I marked the item as despatched!!! It had already been collected, nobody has ever told me not to use paypal for items being collected. It always comes up as the first option on ebay and I have just tried to untick it on all my remaining items and the ticks won't budge.

You can't untick the paypal option BUT you can put in your item description in big red letters cash on collection only AND you can list the item as a collection only item.
Then if the buyer still pays with paypal you just refund them and re-state cash only.

Thanks, I'll know in future 🙂
Meanwhile I haven't been paid and the item has gone but the buyer sent the money 2 weeks ago.
