Welcome!
You might want to look into obtaining a Merchant Account. Some Merchant Accounts will allow you to accept Paypal payments without even having a Paypal account, yourself.
If you want a high-level overview of what you should do to correctly create new eBay/PP accounts, check this out. Read the whole thread and follow the links in the first post.
If you want more detail, I seriously recommend you purchase the eBay Stealth ebook.
I know that searching through all the sections of the forums and all the threads contained in the various sections seems a little daunting. Let me give you a little search tip to make things easier (I think it's easier, anyway). Try using Google to search for more in depth answers to your questions. Using Google to search the aspkin forum allows you to use all the nifty Google parameters like quotation marks, plus and minus signs, and the like.
For instance - Google search (using the site: parameter): site:aspkin.com +Paypal +alternative
If, after you've done further searching, you still have some questions, we'll be happy to help you.
