| Please consider the implementation of other Stripe payment methods such as Ideal
and Sofort which can be used for instant check out. With these options offsite
payments like IBAN / bank transfers are less needed and it's very convenient/normal
for a lot of European customers to use these methods.
I have to admit that it's also a lot more cost effective to use these payment
methods over the ever increasing PayPal costs. Especially since we're not
transferring those costs to the people who buy Lego from us.
I hope that it won't be that much of a deal for the site developers to implement
since Bricklink already has a connection with Stripe, but I'm no expert in
API's etc...

Yeah.. I had a call with the team recently and I urged them to do this. Luckily,
they said they were already working on it, which is great.
I do hope they'll do this very soon, it has taken a long time now. BrickOwl
has iDeal and Sofort through Stripe, and also in my webshop it was extremely
easy to implement with Stripe.
This is important for everyone, because Stripe allows you to accept foreign payment
methods without needing to know how it all works. The NL is one of the biggest
countries on Bricklink and all sellers will benefit from it if people can pay
by iDeal. IMO this is really one of the top priority issues right now. PayPal
is way too expensive and just not convenient for everybody.
It would be beneficial on Bricklink's side as well. There will be more business
so more fees, less money leaking out to PayPal, and also it will vastly increase
the percentage of payments that is done onsite - which is what Bricklink really
likes to see.
