• Your item must weigh less than 15kg. No one side of the parcel can exceed 90cm with max dimensions of 0.324 cubic metres (including packaging).

eBay may alter or amend the eligibility requirements at any time by posting the amended Terms on the site and such will become effective automatically on the date the revised eligibility requirements are posted on the site.

Package requirements

• You shall ensure that the item is packaged adequately and dispatch the order as if it was a home delivery.
• You shall ensure that the item and packaging does not exceed the requirements set out above.
• You shall ensure that the second line of the address label includes the eCP code provided when a buyer chooses Click & Collect as a delivery method (eligible 8-character unique identifier code)so that the eBay collection point can scan and identify your parcel on receipt and notify your buyer when their order is ready to collect. If the eCP code is not included in the address and the eBay collection point cannot identify your parcel, you authorise us to dispose of your item and you acknowledge that you may not be reimbursed.
• If you have an unreasonable amount of parcels (calculated at our sole discretion) arriving at eBay collection points without legible and valid eCP codes, eBay may choose to no longer display the Click & Collect delivery option on your eligible listings, either temporarily or permanently.

Returns

• If the buyer fails to collect the goods within 7 working days of being notified that it is ready for collection, the contract between you and the buyer shall be treated as cancelled by the buyer.
• Provided the item has been delivered with a valid, legible eCP code and does exceed the eligibility requirements set out above eBay will ship and cover the cost of the return.
• If the item was delivered to an Argos or Sainsbury's eBay collection point, it will be returned to you by Royal Mail's tracked 48 hour service.
• If the item was delivered to a CollectPlus eBay collection point, it will be returned to you by Yodel's tracked standard returns service.
• Once you have received a returned item, you shall refund the buyer within 2 business days in line with our return policy. The refund has to include original shipping cost (except surcharges for express delivery services that were ordered by the buyer). If eBay manages your payments, you shall initiate the refund as part of the returns process on eBay.co.uk.
• The buyer will not be able to return items to an eBay collection point and will be directed to use the standard returns process on eBay.co.uk.
• Your normal returns policy will apply to items that are eligible for Click & Collect.

eBay Money Back Guarantee

If the item is eligible for coverage under the eBay Money Back Guarantee, the buyer may open a request for an item not received if:

• The item isn't dispatched to the eBay collection point within the timeframe stated in your listing;
• The eCP code is not clearly visible on the shipping label, has been removed or is illegible and therefore cannot be identified by the Click & Collect location on arrival at the store;
• You have not followed the eligibility requirements set out above; or
• The item is lost while in transit to the eBay Collection Point.

Disposal

• eBay and the collection point location shall have no liability for undeliverable, uncollected or unidentifiable parcels including those parcels that do not have a valid and legible eCP code or do not meet the eligibility requirements set out above.
• You authorise eBay and or a third party appointed by eBay to (i) donate to charity or (ii) dispose of undeliverable, uncollected or unidentifiable items at its discretion and in such circumstances you agree that title to the item shall automatically transfer.

General

You agree not to sell any items in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, including any age restrictions relating to specific items.

eBay does not take possession of the item and you agree that eBay is not a bailee. eBay and the collection point provider exclude any and all liability (whether arising under contract, common law or statute) for any duties arising as a bailee to the fullest extent permitted by law.

eBay is not liable for the loss or damage of any item until it has been received at the designated eBay collection point and scanned into the eBay collection point providers' system. eBay is only liable for the item until collected by the buyer, or until the returned item is dispatched to the seller. Please refer to the terms and conditions of carriage with your carrier if an item is lost or damaged in transit. eBay is not liable for the acts or omissions of a carrier. The maximum liability for eBay under these Terms is that set out in the User Agreement.

You indemnify eBay and the collection point provider in full (and our officers, directors agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) for any losses or costs, including reasonable legal fees, eBay or the collection point provider incur arising out of any breach by you of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any damage to eBay collection point provider or its personnel caused by your failure to adhere to the Excluded Goods list.

A person who is not party to these Terms has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 ("CRTPA") to enforce any term (except for the collection point provider or its insurer in respect of its rights to take action against a seller for breach of these Terms or their duty of care to the collection point) but this does not affect any right or remedy of third parties which exists or is available aside from the CRTPA.

eBay reserves the right to introduce fees for Click & Collect and will do so in accordance with the Fees section of the User Agreement.

eBay can suspend or permanently stop offering the Click & Collect delivery option at any time in its absolute discretion without notice. Any items already dispatched remain subject to these Terms. eBay does not guarantee continuous operation of or access to its services.
