This is exactly how it works in Bulgaria, most second hand marketplaces use a courier who offers the following process:

You describe what you are shipping, how much you want for it and who covers the shipping costs.

The buyer will go to the courier office and inspect the item, if they agree to buy it, they sign off on it, pay the price + shipping (if they are the one who's supposed to pay for shipping) and the seller can get their cash from an office near them the next day.

Important bit is, the buyer inspects the item and signs on it, if they buy it, if they refuse, they cannot keep the item.
