Answer 1

There is a column name you use in the query that is available in multiple tables.
Without the table structure we can't be certain which one it is, but probably one with an alias in your query:
,[PaymentID]
,[Name]
,[WinningPrice]
,[PaymentDate]

Answer 2

Try this, Create a alias for ambiguous column name
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER
(
ORDER BY [PaymentID] ASC
)AS RowNumber
,[PaymentID]
,[Name]
,[WinningPrice]
,[PaymentDate]
,[Payment.BidID] as PBidID
INTO #Results
FROM Item INNER JOIN
Auction ON Item.ItemID = Auction.ItemID INNER JOIN
BID ON Auction.AuctionID = BID.AuctionID INNER JOIN
Payment ON BID.BidID = Payment.BidID
Where (BID.Status = 'Paid') AND (BID.BuyerID = #buyer)
SELECT #RecordCount = COUNT(*)
FROM #Results
SELECT * FROM #Results
WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN(#PageIndex -1) * #PageSize + 1 AND(((#PageIndex -1) * #PageSize + 1) + #PageSize) - 1
DROP TABLE #Results
End

Answer 3

Good practice is using aliases like:
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER
(
ORDER BY i.[PaymentID] ASC --which table it belongs? put correct alias
)AS RowNumber
,i.[PaymentID]
,i.[Name]
,i.[WinningPrice]
,i.[PaymentDate]
,p.[BidID]
INTO #Results
FROM Item i
INNER JOIN Auction a
ON i.ItemID = a.ItemID
INNER JOIN BID b
ON a.AuctionID = b.AuctionID
INNER JOIN Payment p
ON b.BidID = p.BidID
Where (b.Status = 'Paid')
AND (b.BuyerID = #buyer)
SELECT #RecordCount = COUNT(*)
FROM #Results

Answer 4

SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER
(
ORDER BY [PaymentID] ASC
)AS RowNumber
,[PaymentID]
,[Name]
,[WinningPrice]
,[PaymentDate]
,[Payment.BidID]
INTO #Results
FROM Item INNER JOIN
Auction ON Item.ItemID = Auction.ItemID INNER JOIN
BID ON Auction.AuctionID = BID.AuctionID INNER JOIN
**Payment P1 ON BID.BidID = P1.BidID**
Where (BID.Status = 'Paid') AND (BID.BuyerID = #buyer)
SELECT #RecordCount = COUNT(*)
FROM #Results
SELECT * FROM #Results
WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN(#PageIndex -1) * #PageSize + 1 AND(((#PageIndex -1) * #PageSize + 1) + #PageSize) - 1
DROP TABLE #Results
End
