I was bidding on some US Formula 1 Grand Prix tickets.

I was the highest bidder however I did not meet the reserve price so the auction was not completed. Since the auction ended I have emailled the seller in the USA and we have agreed a price.

He wants to be paid by a Money order however all of the money order internet sites (bidpay, paypal, payfast) seem to rely on a successeful auction.

Does anybody have any ideas how I can get it sorted ?

You can pay by paypal direct to his email address. No need to have won the item.

I've done this several times in the past.

So have I. It's not a problem.

Although you can pay by PayPal direct to their email address it's no use if they are insisting on a money order. They could relist the tickets with you as the only pre-approved bidder then you can use one of the services you've already mentioned. Payingfast doesn't have to be an auction but has a limit of $75 if not.

Of course doing it this way they would have to pay the eBay fees so might want a bit more

The seller wants a money order, I said IF they are insisting on that then PayPal is no use at all.
