I am trying to buy a seat reservation on a train from Barcelona to Paris. When I click on the train i it says that the seat - reservation will be delivered by post, which costs extra. I want it to be delivered per mail is there an opportunity to choose or change the way of delivery? 

Eurail/Interrail can only deliver the reservation Barcelona-Paris by ordinary post. 

You should be able to book by phone at SNCF (the French Railway)

 Press #85 for English, no booking fees, reservations are sent via e-mail.


I had the same issue with not wanting to have the ticket posted by mail so i called the train company and booked over the phone and it was a pretty easy process. The only thing to note is that they only accept certain credit cards for payment (I’m from Australia and they didn’t take any Australian bank cards so we had to use an American Express).
