## What is Local Pickup Auctions for eBay?

Find local eBay auctions you can pick up yourself. Local Pickup for eBay searches all categories around your ZIP code at once and shows pickup-only items first: furniture, bikes, tools, garden equipment, appliances, electronics and other bulky or heavy stuff that sellers don't want to ship. Fewer bidders, lower prices, real bargains near you.

No search term needed. Choose your country, enter your ZIP code or tap the location icon, set a radius of 20 or 40 miles and browse what's for sale in your area.

WHY PICKUP-ONLY AUCTIONS?
- Fewer bidders: most buyers filter for shipping, so local pickup items often end with no or very few bids
- No shipping costs and no waiting for a parcel: pick it up the same day
- Bulky, heavy and unusual items you rarely see in a normal search
- Buying used and secondhand locally saves money and is good for the environment
- Your money stays in your community and supports local sellers

FEATURES
- Searches all categories in your area at once, optionally with a keyword
- Results appear while the search is still running
- Pickup-only items first, clearly marked, then items with pickup or shipping
- Sort by ending soonest, distance, price or condition
- Badges at a glance: "No bids", "New" listing, ending time, shipping costs
- Use my location: fills in your ZIP code automatically (approximate location, never stored)
- Watchlist: press and hold an item to watch it and get a reminder shortly before the auction ends
- Watchlist page with refreshed prices and bids
- Share an auction with a friend or copy the link
- Recent searches as one-tap shortcuts
- "Find more results" when nothing turns up: wider radius, longer time frame, without keyword
- Filters for radius, ending time, seller type (private or business), condition (new or used) and minimum number of bids
- Dark mode, landscape and VoiceOver support

WHAT CAN YOU FIND?
Sofas, tables, wardrobes, washers and fridges, TVs, bikes, lawn mowers, yard and garden tools, building materials, musical instruments, collectibles, antiques and household goods. In short: everything that is too big or too heavy to ship well, often from garage sales, moves and estate clear-outs.
