Yes, you have to have a CC to use Pay Pal. I use Pay Pal for overseas transactions, because it's safe. The only thing you have to worry about now, is dealing with people you trust.:thumb

I have bought several things from a company called ISP west, http://www.vwispwest.com,  they have a secure server for cc payments. I've never had any problems with them. With the AU$ so strong at the moment, it's a good time to buy from the US. Watch out for the shipping costs though, they can cost more than the parts you buy.
You might want to check out ebay, many of the sellers there have "shops" where you can just buy without bidding. Their feedback rating will give you a good idea if they can be trusted or not.
