My current eBay account is the same one I have been using since about 2000, so I don't remember exactly how everything was set up, but I don't remember anything being difficult. Just set up a PayPal account and then select the PayPal option when you are checking out of eBay.
I would recommend BillmeLater, it is an invisible line of credit that I use all the time. It doesn't show up on your credit reports and doesn't effect your util, -and- they offer no interest no payments for 6 months all the time on new purchases. So I buy stuff, don't pay for it till 6 months later, and my FICO stays exactly the same whether I have $0 balance or am maxed out.

Sometimes the sellers allow buyers to mail in a check and some sellers have their own payment processing systems in addition to paypal. PayPal (which lets you pay via credit cards, bank accounts, eBay bucks credits, etc) is the fastest and safest way to do it though.
