Francis, if you will read the fine print at ebay, the "Paypal only" rule is just a scare tactic. Every seller I have dealt with has accepted my check. The sellers don't like the ebay tactics any more than the buyers do. I don't ask permission to avoid Paypal until I win the item. Ebay has enforced the "rule" by deleting the mailing address of the seller from the invoice. If you contact the seller, they will be glad to accept the check and provide their mailing address. Some sellers have gone to war with ebay by posting "No Paypal" on their ads.
