Without knowing your needs, it's kind of difficult giving any specific advice, but I'll try anyway.
You look set on the K-x, so I'll try to give some advice on lenses/kits.
First: The second offer above does not include 3 lenses. It includes some (probably really crappy) converters wich (extremely simplified) will make the included 18-55 mm lens:
With wide angle converter: 9-28mm
With telecoverter: 36-110mm
this will however come at the cost of seriously shitty image quality.
In short: don't go there.
I think you shold consider something like this: Pentax K-x Digital SLR with 18-55mm and 55-300mm Zoom 15801 B&H
the 18-55mm lens is the same as in the offers you have already looked into on ebay, wheras the 55-300mm is a really good quality telezoom. Most serious retaliers price this at approx. $ 350. It's quality is generally regarded as better than i.e. the 50-200mm.
Then try to find out what focal lenghts you like, and buy primes according to that. If you are to go seriously into macro, you will need dedicated lenses, like this: Pentax smc Pentax-D FA 100mm f/2.8 WR Macro Lens 21910 B&H Photo
or this Pentax SMCP-DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited Series Autofocus 21730
Good luck!
