Cash on collection/Collection only

[im4gine3]

May be an odd question but thought i'd ask to see what people's methods are.

Whenever i sell stuff mainly through forums etc, i would usually post items off to their destination and have never done a collection only type item.

For any one who do do Collection only, do you invite people over to where you live and do the transfer there and then, or do you designate a specific place like a random car park away from your address to carry this out?

I personally find it concerning if the buyer were to rock up to your house to receive the items with the off chance of being robbed, threatened or what not (since they now know where you live).. but also a bit weird doing it at a random area which can look a little shady too.

Thoughts?

thanks for the tips guys.. most of the stuff i wanna get rid of are electronics/computers but good to know what to expect and how direct transactiosn work.

With regards to:

Remember that you can be issued with a chargeback if the buyer paid online, and collected in person, as there is no evidence of the collection.

Does this include doing the transaction via bank transfer?
