To bid on ebay, don't you need to have set up a paypal account?

Or are there other ways of paying?

It's up to the seller. They can accept any form of payment they want.

The smart ones will only accept PayPal, and will only ship to confirmed addresses with tracking number(s). Too many third party shenanigans and too much "I paid but didn't get my stuff" fraud out there to do otherwise. You can setup your sellers account so that only PayPal account holders with confirmed addresses can post bids on your items. That's how mine's setup.

That's true. Look at how the seller accepts payments. It might
be credit card or instantly out of your checking account. But
if the sellers states PAYPAL ONLY that's how you'll have to pay.

Yes - depends what the seller specifies. Some will let you collect,
inspect and pay cash - my preferred option for higher value stuff.

Thanks to all for your quick and informative replies.

I presume that I shouldn't order from ebay when I am using a computer terminal at places like Kinkos/Fedex.
