Read on so that I may illustrate how inconvenient this is for people not in this position:
At least in my experience, whenever you change your method of payment and shipping address settings, they apply to all your upcoming purchases. Say that you have items from more than one seller ending when you're usually asleep, or when something during the day prevents you from being on top of matters within an hour. What if you wanted to pay for one win using PayPal and another with your CC? What if you required one purchase to be sent to your home address and another to your p.o. box? I face these quandaries frequently--many times a week. While this may be the minority, I definitely know that plenty of other customers deal with similar problems. Also, before anyone says, "Why not send everything to your p.o. box? Problem solved!", please keep in mind that not all people's p.o. boxes are local to their place of residence, not to mention that items shipped via courier can not be delivered to USPS or Canada Post p.o. boxes.

Like I said, it's inconvenient for a tiny minority of buyers to address a major problem with ebay as a whole. I'm sorry you require such inflexibility with your purchasing methods. But the exception should never dictate the rule.
