My first sale of an item to be picked up by the buyer, how can I protect myself? | Questions and answers among users

Sorry, it’s the first time I’ve managed to sell an item and agreed with the buyer that they would come pick it up from me. I see on my account that the item has been paid for, but until I confirm the pickup and not before 24 hours they won’t be credited to my account. How should I behave if they come to collect it? I think I understood that I need to scan a QR code received from the buyer; he sent it to me through eBay messages, but it matches his WhatsApp contact..... Should I be alarmed and not hand it over? Help me!! Thanks
