Cycling jersey to post, eBay item perhaps (7)

I believe the answer is:

maillot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cycling jersey' is the definition.
'maillot' can be an answer for 'jersey' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'cycling' bit.

'post ebay item perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'post' could be 'mail' (synonyms) and 'mail' is found in the answer.
'item' could be 'lot' (I've seen this before) and 'lot' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for maillot that I've seen before include "Tights worn for ballet" , "Swimsuit" , "Jersey" , "Top" .)
