I need some help from fellow members. I was recently contacted by a potential buyer asking if I would accept checks or money orders. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem. However, Ebay's verbage is slightly unclear, but from what I can tell it appears ebay does not allow me to receive such payments. Here are the links that I used to research this.

The part that is unclear is that it appears to prohibit me from posting such payment methods in my listing. However, does it truly prohibit a buyer from using such payment methods if it is their choice? I would assume it could affect the buyer/seller protection policy, though. Our listings are allowed to say the buyer can pick up the item. Wouldn't most buyers just want to pay for the item in person if they were picking it up?

I just need some of my fellow collector's help. Any help you can provide would be terrific. Thank you.
