I have won several Ebay.FR auctions and received several requests to pay via another service, due to sellers complaining about fees. In my cases, I really wanted the items I won, so I offered to cover the seller fees. I was not thrilled to do that, but I am very satisfied with my purchases, at the prices I ultimately paid. Sorry, but the photo is as I received the bike, not how it is now. (I wish it was warm enough to melt the snow and see grass again.)

I bought a 1940's mystery French bike late last year, but I apparently do not have any photos showing more than just a couple parts at a time.
I imagine I will be doing that again soon to buy a set of 1950's French handlebar/stem, and maybe some hubs/wheels, once I find what I want. I want to finally finish the
Criterium.
