[url= https://gocardless.com/ ]Go Cardless - accept payment by direct debit[/url]

not tried it but apparently very easy to set up - for individuals as well as companies. Can accept payments for only 1% fee (max £2 whatever the size of the transaction)

2 main downsides that I can see for using it when selling on the classifieds:
1. No-one's heard of it - and therefore not willing to trust it
2. As it works as a direct debit it can take up to 7 days for the money to arrive

What sort of cover do they offer when there's a problem?

🙂 That's never gonna fly when folk are expecting next-day delivery from personal sellers.

Why not just do a bank transfer then?
