This is new form of fraud where a buyer (a scammer) will target ebay auctions which are "Collection in person" and will have a fake address or storage address with P.O Box (as ebay/paypal now allows un-confirmed address and these transactions are not covered by seller protection.). What they will do is buy item from you and pay with paypal and will collect in person. This person will collect item and will put paypal claim back stating he hasn't received the item. Paypal have user policy IF they don't have tracking number they will grant the money back to the scammer (Paypal does not take video evidence,signature proof or any other proof as valid collection).
It is strongly suggested if you are selling item with "collection in person" do cash transaction by handing the item and collecting cash don't fall into ebay trap by accepting paypal payment for collection in person items else the scammer will part with your money and your item!.
