Can I charge different prices for local pickup versus shipping when selling products like books?

Absolutely. It’s completely fair to offer a lower price for local pickup since you’re saving on shipping costs. Just clearly communicate both options in your product listing or emails: the standard price includes shipping, but customers can save money by picking up locally. This is a common and accepted practice that benefits both you and local buyers.
