I need to sell a used kitchen. I specified that pickup in the area is only the buyer’s responsibility, but...

Question

Good morning everyone.

As a private seller, I should sell a used kitchen, including appliances.

In the listing I specified that I don’t ship anything, pickup is only local (and frankly I wouldn’t know how else to go about it in this area) at the buyer’s expense.

Now, a potential buyer is asking me whether shipping via eBay is possible; I don’t think such a service exists, or does it?

If so, who could I turn to for a similar shipment? A regular courier?

Good morning,eBay is not the right place to sell bulky items that are practically impossible to ship. For these types of sales, it's better to rely on other marketplaces better known for local pickup. Kind regards.

Thank you very much for the responses. At this point I'd rather cancel the sale. It's impossible for me to ship.

If you've set the auction with local pickup, avoid shipping because they are two different procedures and you would run into problems if the buyer tried to be sneaky.

If the buyer doesn't want to pick up the item, cancel the sale.

For shipping you need to put the kitchen on a pallet and then have it picked up.
