Parcel post. Whether the post office are acting as the seller's agent
to effect delivery, or the buyer's agent to take delivery, depends on
whether title has passed before the goods are posted.

You've misunderstood me. I wasn't (intentionally) suggesting the post
office would handle payment on behalf of a buyer. Even if they did,
using it would breach eBay's new rules. I was only suggesting a form
of words that I thought would imply to buyers that the seller wanted
to ignore eBay's new rules. Sorry for any false hope I caused.

Myself, I think eBay is rubbish since they hid bidders' names. It's
just giving tacit approval to sellers to schill bid in their own
auctions, which they have been gleefully doing in recent weeks.
