You automatically get your own wallet when you sign up on the SR website. You can deposit bitcoins straight to that address, or you can send it through a couple of other wallets first (instawallet comes to mind).

You'll be lucky if you find a place willing to accept paypal, but I can recommend https://get-bitcoin.com/ if you're willing to pay with cash.

VirWoX accepts paypal. But their exchange rates are high, partly because you have to exchange to 'Linden Dollars' first.
And when using paypal there is an (up to) 3 days 'order verification' period.

Because of Paypal's refund policy it's risky for exchangers to accept and that's what you pay for.

Very doubtful to find a place to take Paypal. Although there are some as others have said..

Use mtgox.com to sell your coins and then withdraw money using various methods offered by Mt.Gox. Or sell the coins to me!
