How about just telling the Ebay customers that they have to pay through your website, and then in payment options offer Credit Cards, Paypal, etc.
I have purchased many times through Ebay when the seller made me purchase through their site and I didn't have a problem with it as long as it didn't add cost or look fishy.
Be upfront and honest and customers will have no problem with it.

Sorry, misread your question, here is the answer you were really looking for.
Mention in your auction that once the auction is over they will be emailed a payment link within 24 hours of auction end that will allow them to pay via your payment options.
Once the auction ends, create a product that matches the auction and email the customer the link, they click on the link, go through the purchasing process, and you have a purchase through your site. Sounds pretty easy to me. Its a little bit of work if you have a ton of auctions running. But, you can always make a generic product labeled "Ebay Purchase" and just change the price accordingly. I would add shipping into the total price and just label free shipping for the product in shipping options.

At my job store, I made this. It seems to work.
Input? Ryan?

Looks cool to me, but I wouldn't necessarily call it "bogey product", it may get customers to think "bogus product" which may cause them to not go through with it. I would call it straight "Ebay Purchase". Just my two cents

Hi,
I agree, I would just call it Ebay Auction Purchase. also, just some friendly advice:
I would change some of the colors on the site. Maybe make the middle of your site white. All the blue is really clashing. It makes things hard to read. Just some advice. It does not have to be used.

Also,
On a shopping cart software that I used to use. It allowed us to set up a page with fields in which the customer could come to and enter their auction information.
It asked them for the Ebay Item #
Item description
Item Cost
Shipping Cost
the customer then clicked submit and the information and the customer was transfered to the shopping cart for checkout.
