To accept a credit or debit card payment, you need to upgrade your account, but I can't see how you could have done it without knowing. To be honest, it's probably less hassle to stick with the premier account for selling (you can downgrade again once, but you would have to upgrade again to accept the next card payment...)

BTW, you are allowed to open a new basic account now for receiving funds not connected with selling, so you don't pay fees on those transactions.

When I set up with paypal at first a few months back - i opted for the basic account. They put me on premier in error. I didn't realise until payment started to get refused, then they gave me a refund of charges they had levied. Decided to switch now to premier (following advice from here) and it is certainly a lot less hassle and quicker turnaround too.
