Unless they've changed something else you can still have one Personal and
one Business account simultaneously. Some sellers were already using two
accounts and requesting buyers point out their intent to use a CC funded
payment so they could be directed to the correct one. I never did because I
didn't want to bother keeping track of the CC limit on the Personal account.
Now that the limit is gone and a CC payment to it will simply be rejected it
will be easier to work the two account approach. So the only additional
cost of doing business will be strictly limited to accepting CC payments.
