You may want to ask JJ. I think that at one point he had his account downgraded after upgrading it to accept a payment. I remember him saying something like they will only do that once. If you upgrade you will be charged a fee for every payment you receive. Credit card or not. When I sell things on ebay I make it clear that I accept paypal but only bank transfers. No credit cards of debit cards. The first time I sold something I didn't say that and found out i'd have to upgrade I emailed the guy and explained to him I did not take credit cards and he'd have to do a bank transfer and he didn't mind at all. Maybe you can try the same. Or at the least try to get paypal to downgrade your account and then explain in your auctions that you do not take credit cards.
