First eBay sale but need to cancel

Seriously appreciate your response, and clear logic.

Glad I've never strayed into pickup sales to begin with. I see how the cash pickup would at least avoid the Paypal scenario. Charge backs are a nasty weapon for the evil.

Read this at the eBay policy link:

If you offer payment upon pickup, you'll also need to offer one of the approved electronic methods, and may include this statement in your listing: "Contact me for payment methods to pay on pickup."

 

The 3 listed other allowed payments that would satisfy the "approved electronic methods" are Paypal, Paypal Credit, and Credit Cards though seller's merchant account. Unless I'm missing something a seller would be easily open to the scam even if their intent is to list Pickup and Cash - since you'd also have to offer one of these 3. Damned if you do by the look of it. 
Finishing this thought process: Am I missing a way for clean and seller safe cash at pickup sales?
