I take it you mean you usually pay with paypal?
Your chances aren't good I'm afraid... paying via cheque means that in the event of a claim via ebay's standard protection means that you will incur a fee of £15 out of the refund ebay will obtain for you.
Do you know why the seller was NARUd? (became unregistered)My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -
Unfortunately cheques are not a secure method of payment and as has already been pointed out an ebay claim is going to cost you £15, it looks like you may have to accept the loss.

A BIN with immediate payment requires paypal, but all other BINs can have any form of payment that the seller chooses.
