You probably wouldn't be able to buy a PO with a credit card, because you could immediately cash it, effectively providing you with an interest free cash advance of up to 56 days.
Not sure about buying one with a debit card. But if not, you can withdraw cash from many bank accounts at the Post Office

Nope - my PO's the same, cash only... they let me run to the cash point though and then cut the huge queue

Your PO doesn't let you take out cash at every counter? Mine does!My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -

You can get cash at POs using cards from some but not all banks, so you might need to go to a cash machine.my post office let you take cash out too, its only a tiny post office with one counter in a corner shop
