Can i sell a large item locally

If I sell furniture that can’t be shipped, is there a way to narrow the sale to a more local audience? Where they may pick the item up from me directly.

There are a few sellers here that list items for pick up only…there actually used to be an option in the Edit booth options to allow pick up….but I see that option is no longer available

There is no way to actually narrow your audience, but you can advertise it locally with a link to your listings…by doing this the purchase can be made online and you do not have to worry about exchange of money in person…

Instead of putting in a shipping cost, use the option of Details are in Item description

if someone tries to purchase, it will come to you as an OBO, which then you can approve if the buyer is local and will pick up or deny if buyer is not local…
