Paying cash on pick up is now the same as not paying at all | Buying

I recently won an item at auction, picked it up from the seller and paid cash for it when I collected it, but there's no way of marking the item as "paid" on my end and the seller can't find one on hers either, so it now looks like I'm going to have to pay for the item a second time through PayPal to get eBay to acknowledge that the item has been paid for, and send me a pick up code so the transaction can be completed on its site and I can get the item out of my shopping cart. I have paid cash for items in the past and the seller was always able to just mark them as "paid", but eBay seems to have put a stop to that now, presumably to stop people paying cash for items without officially disallowing it. I can't find any mention of this trap up here anywhere, so I'm guessing this must be a new change, and one that I wish I'd known about sooner, before making the mistake of paying with cash.
