For the sake of the transaction, the seller need only verify the buyer's PAL. The weight of ammo makes face-to-face deals a better idea, and since Canada Post won't handle it, that means couriers like CanPar or UPS. (=big $)

While you do need a PAL to acquire ammunition, I can find no regulation that specifies that you can't legally possess ammunition that was legally acquired, without a PAL. This seems to be another oversight, like being able to purchase ammunition components without a PAL.

Notice that it specifies a license to possess or acquire a firearm, but a license only to acquire ammunition. So if you acquired the ammunition before the PAL came into effect, or if you had a PAL when you acquired the ammunition, but your PAL has expired, according to that statement, you haven't broken any laws.
