If the buyer requests to pay with one of those forms though, it's okay, and eBay even has an option in the drop-down menu when you go to mark an item as "paid" where you can specify that payment was with a check or money order.

Lance,

I thought the same thing too until I went back and re-read the policy.

http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/methods.html - Other payment methods

Checks, money orders, and bank wire transfers aren't allowed for most eBay purchases.

But sellers can offer these payment methods for certain items in some categories, including Motors, Capital and Business Equipment, Real Estate, and Adult Only.

There full list of what categories is allowed is would not cover cards. I was going to point out selling a car for cash (on pickup) in my previous post, but cash on pickup/deliver is explicitly allowed.
