It's all essentially a big cluster**** to increase eBay/PayPal's control and
profits, IMO.
There are some payment exceptions, and a couple of options.

They/It don't require buyers to have a (funds) balance sitting in a PayPal
account, a buyer can use a credit card or a couple of other electronic
traceable methods.

But then some sellers insist on Immediate Payment Required, which I mostly
avoid, so I'm not sure what the specific time, or other requirements there
are for those purchases.

A transfer of funds from a bank account to a PayPal account (no fee
involved) takes about 4 days, which might be more secure than using a credit
card over 'n over again, to make payments to strangers.

What amazes me is that they are breaking federal laws by saying that you
cannot use any other payment methods. I'm surprised that it hasn't been
taken to court yet.
