No- you do not need a Paypal account to sell on Ebay. You can dictate whatever terms you like regarding payment as long as you state them clearly in the auction.
As far as a selling price- what is your time worth? What are similar items going for?
Ebay charges an upfront insertion fee that varies according to what type of listing you use, then a final value fee after the item is sold.

Ebay has an extensive page of tutorials for first time sellers- you need to read everything thoroughly and understand it before you proceed.

Cearbhaill, Thanks for all of the info. I think I am going to try the local ads here first before going to ebay. Thanks again! ~~Sandy~~

The problem is that ebay has the most customers and the most likely chance that it will sell. You get what you pay for, I guess.
