Anything wrong with letting an eBay buyer pick up their item in person?

I know. All this "don't let them come to your house" paranoia is interesting. So who's the wierdo?

If you sell something in the newspaper classifieds, the buyer comes to your house right?

So whats the friggin' difference?

At least with Ebay you know they are going to buy it and they are not going to try and talk you down.
