Yeah, the "once you upgrade you pay fees on all transactions" thing really bites. I went so far as to open a second Paypal account and made that my Premiere account just for the several auctions I was going to run for which I wanted to be able to offer credit card payments.
I still have my personal Paypal account if someone wants to pay me for something by direct transfer. But I learned the hard way that I can't stipulate that fact in a listing. If you offer Paypal, there can be no ifs, ands or buts. I had an auction pulled because I asked that if they want to use Paypal, to contact me first and I would let them know which account to use.
eBay/Paypal don't play that.
