They only allow certain forms of payment. Paypal, Merchant CC processing, and one other online payment place that's a Paypal knockoff with higher fees. I'm not sure, but they may require a seller to take Paypal.
But there'a a loophole in the fine print that allows a seller to take any form of payment they're comfortable with IF the buyer has a reason for not wanting to use Paypal. Like picking up in person, or not having a CC.
I'm not sure you'd find many buyers wiling to take other payments. There are some good things about Paypal, among them the integrated click and ship which gets a tiny discount and free delivery confirmation for priority and cheap DC for first class. With the online postage you don' even have to go to a post office, the carrier picks it up.
Edited to say that a seller can't state in the listing that they will take other payments. You have to ask.
