Ebay woes - someone who can help me?

[McVenco]

I won an auction on Ebay for a Nintendo 64 game, but I only noticed now that the seller only accepts personal cheques or money orders (boo!).
If I want to send a money order from the Netherlands to the UK that will cost me 10 (ten!) Euros! For a winning bid of 0,99 GBP! :boohoo: (and then I don't even have counted the shipping costs yet)..

Yeah, I should have checked it before bidding but in almost all auctions that I see, the seller is accepting Paypal or banktransfer, hence my mistake...


So, 2 questions for you people:

1. What are the costs (if any) for a money order/personal cheque within the UK?
2. If these costs are far lower than those 10 Euros: can anyone in the UK help me out by paying for me? I will then pay you by Paypal, and you will of course have my eternal gratitude (I will even send you a bonus!)

Well, according to the auction the seller doesn't accept that :-)

I know, I already messaged him, but just in case he is stubborn, I though I'd already ask here. Just in case :-)

Thanks moto!
I'll wait for an answer from the seller, and when needed I'll give you a shout (or a whisper, depending on how much background noise there is... :-) )
