Just sold the 'old' van on ebay, and happily said I'd take PayPal for it,

Ask in one of the ebay groups for answers concerning this type of problem. I doubt you will get away with adding a paypal surcharge on top - that's normally for you to pay out of the amount taken from the winning bidder. Get the winner to pay by bank transfer instead. He just goes in to his bank and arranges it. Far easier. Then don't let him have the vehicle until you have checked payment is through.
