Hi Naroo,
From your question it seems that it is proprietorship business. In my opinion, in proprietorship, it doesn’t make any difference that in whose account money is received because both are one and the same.
In respect of accounting query, I would say that as antique items are sold through internet, hence payment from customer must be after delivery means at the time of delivery.
If inventory records are also maintained, then pass following entry at the time when antique items are delivered :- Customer Account Debit to (Particular / Specific) Antique Item Account. When payment is received then reverse Customer Account, and pass following entry :-
Cash / Bank Account Debit
to Customer Account.
IF inventory records are not maintained then pass the entry only after payment is received i.e. –
Sales Account Debit
to Customer Account.
Whatever I have given is what I think and my assumption about system of concerned ABC & Co. If my assumptions are wrong then tell accordingly. And other members, kindly rectify me if my answer is wrong.

@ Yogesh
Payment in proprietor's a/c & payment in prop. business a/c, these are not same even in prop business... otherwise there is no point in making capital a/c in prop business.
Karthik is right..if A has received payment on behalf of ABC n haven't deposited to ABC's a/c, it will be treated as capital withdrawal.
If money is deposited into ABC's a/c by A, it will be simple sales entry:
Bank Dr.
To Sales

Hi Vivek,
Forget about what Theory says. I was speaking about practically what happens.
Take an example of ITR filing. You never file two separate ITRs for proprietor and his proprietorship. I suggested aforesaid entries only to keep the things as simple as possible and to avoid a mess. I have seen many many cases where both are considered one and same.
