need to receive one time payment by credit card

so here's the deal. someone needs to send me money, but they're in australia and they can only pay by credit card, as paypal bank->bank requires a US bank.

i can't accept it through paypal cause i'd have to upgrade my account and its just not feasible that i pay the 3% or whatever for every single transaction on that, cause my dad sends me tuition fees through that account and i'd end up paying >>$300 just in fees for that, which is complete BS.

how can i accept a one-time credit card payment or something?

i don't mind signign up for some service that takes off a couple percent for every credit card transaction (differs from paypal cause paypal would charge me for EVERY transaction including bank to bank). but i refuse to pay some hefty one time set up fee or something.
 
You can downgrade your account twice, so in theory you could upgrade & then downgrade once you received it.

How much money are you talking about here?

Edit: (As in one Personal, one Premier/Business)

Either that, or upgrade current Paypal acct, accept payment, do the one-time downgrade back to personal account.
 
Another option might be for the person to go to their bank and do a cash advance on their credit card, then wire transfer that money into your bank account.
