Hello 'flopticalcube',
As 'brandeentertainment' says, don't send the cheque.
And it wouldn't be a cheque anyway, it would be an international postal money order.
What I find odd about the listing is that the item is in Avalon, PA, but the seller claims to
only ship to Canada. An oversight, perhaps?
Anyway, sellers are not supposed to ask for cheques, cash, money orders, bank transfers, etc,
because you will lose all buyer protection if you pay that way. You can see from the following link
that cheques are only permissible in a very few situations:
http://pages.ebay.ca/help/policies/accepted-payments-policy.html
I also find his story about bank & paypal problems unconvincing because he has managed to successfully
sell items in the past. They can't all have been paid by cheque or someone would have complained
about him by now.
Well, you've got your money back, so that's a good sign. If it were me, I would not send any form of
any other payment and never buy from this seller again.
I would send a sweetly worded note sympathizing with his difficulties and then urge him to sort out his
paypal situation and relist.
I would then go to the Customer Support > Customer Support link at the top right of the page, make the call,
and spend a few moments telling an ebay rep about it.
Maybe the guy made an honest mistake and has geniune problems and is just trying to get the item to the
buyer, - - maybe not.
If you are really in a fume about it, the advantage to phoning ebay is that it forces someone to look into
the matter right then and there. You will know something is being done, even if all you are told is that there's
nothing they can do.
As for leaving a negative, - think very carefully before you do something like that.
Some sellers are shameless scammers, even if they only try to hit you up for a few extra bob for 'postage'.
In this case, you can't actually be sure his story isn't genuine.
He's a fairly new seller and it takes a surprisingly long time for people to thoroughly master ebay sales.
More importantly is that your negative will be a permanent record on your outgoing feedback.
It's up to you, but since you got your money back, well now that's good, isn't it.
In a case like this, if it were me, I'd just leave none.
Obviously you can't leave positive, but maybe save the negs for the truly remorseless thieves. If you buy
enough over time you'll find there's lots of those. 
I wish you well with it.
