And make it available for local pickup only ie. no shipping? Sounds like a robbery recipe if you ask me.

E-Strange???

This seller has no history of requiring pickup...very strange.

None of his other items are "pickup only." I wonder if he made a mistake in the listing?

At least he takes paypal and it's not a cash-only deal

It's an obvious mistake he made when he listed it. He has the shipping costs on his other items.

Is that a new choice? I have seen others with that set and he is a member of the boards and a pretty big dealer. Someone asked the question to him via ebay and he said it was an error.

We had the same problem with our listings last week on Ebay.

The Shipping "box" defaults to "Pick Up Only".

We caught it on some of the listings, but had bids on many
others, so we couldn't change it.

I've been getting emails every day asking why I won't ship
a small error coin! We've had to reply (and post it on the listing)
that it's Ebay's error as to the "default" wording that shows up,
and it's our error that we didn't catch 'em all.

I'm sure this guy (and probably many others) didn't even realize
that his listing says "Pick Up only"

Mystery solved, IMO

Glad someone else noticed, there are a lot just recently. Started a thread the other night about this one, just a short hop and skip away in the Yukon

And I noticed last night that all of Morris' new listings are pickup only, sent him a question about it. eBay is so screwed up now.

Call and ask or email and ask ?

GoldenEyeNumismatics · October 25, 2006 5:50AM

might just be an error

ROBERTB · October 25, 2006 6:25AM

This has been happening alot lately. I just talked to another seller about a different coin, same thing happened to him. I've seen it in about five or six places now. They're fuming mad. Some had it appear well into their auctions. I'd be pissed. How many sellers are losing potential buyers to this?

mnmcoin · October 25, 2006 10:06AM

Yikes, I just realized that all my auctions say this. I wonder what in the hell happened...they are all relists from two weeks ago. Ebay will be getting a piece of my mind tomorrow...pitty on my account rep...his ears are gonna be a bleedin'.

I am always looking at the local listings, so its good to know about this error!! I bought something local pickup today and it really was local pickup only. It was a combination safe.

Hyperion · October 25, 2006 10:13AM

it's an ERROR I put a listing up yesterday and the friggin template was TEMPERMENTAL as SHOOT.
it kept resetting to LPU every time I saved it.

WEAK.

sonoranmonsoon · October 26, 2006 2:07AM

It was a mistake. He noted his error in the Q&A section of the listing.

Who in the heck would sell a coin on Ebay.......
