I have bought items through paypal, but I have never sold an item through paypal to someone. How does that work? I don't have paypal connected to my checking account (nor do I want to), but I have it so that when I buy something through paypal, it is charged to my credit card. If I sell something through paypal, will the payment be credited to my credit card.? This won't be done through ebay.

No , you'll just have a credit balance in your Paypal account. Some websites will let you pay with Paypal, but the only other way to get the funds is to connect your checking account and transfer it, which takes about 3 days. You can also get a Paypal debt card, but you have to request it and that takes mailing/processing time. Once you have the debt card you can use it like any other, including withdrawing funds. HTH.
