Answer 1

Not a postal order.

If you need to send or receive money in a hurry, the Post Office® offers the MoneyGram® international money transfer service that enables you to quickly send and receive cash domestically or internationally, without the need for a bank account or credit card. Money can be sent to more than 125,000 locations to 170 countries. MoneyGram® is available from any Post Office® branch.

Ask the seller how he wants to be paid,

You can pay your uncles winning with your paypal - your uncle can give you the cash.

Log into your uncles ebay, then

When you check out the ebay sale, put your paypal details in instead of his.
