I'm not 100% certain, but as a new seller, you only have the option to use
paypal.

  Hello! I would like to turn off the "Pay with Paypal" for my seller fees. I
want to pay via credit card instead to simplify my accounting. I go the Fees
page, but the button "Pay with Paypal" cannot be clicked. The link "Pay with
Card" is dull looking and unable to click. How can I switch that setting? Thanks!

Looks like you only just started selling, so I think you have no fees to pay
yet.
The fees have to be paid (when a certain minimum is met) once a month (or once
a year if you don't reach the monthly limit).
Only when you are invoice for the fess the buttons will be become available.
And at that time you have the choice how to pay, either via PayPal or CC (via
Stripe)

There is no automatic BL fee payment on every order.
Maybe you are seeing a partner fee (or something like that) on the PP statement,
but that is for TAX payments, not BL seller fee.

YES! That was it. I was seeing Paypal doing a separate line stating "Partner
Commission" and figured that was the Bricklink cut. It was the tax! I was also
wondering, since it was definitely more than BL fees. Cool!

I just like to keep things simple for accounting with paying fees away from the
Paypal payments. And, receiving points on a credit card for expenses is nice.

Thanks! Your answer is the winner!!!

You're right, BL fees are deferred until they reach a minimum amount and
then are collected separately.

However Paypal collects both the sales tax depending on the buyer location, and
a fee per transaction.

Ultimately no payment method is fee-free. Stripe also collects a transaction
fee, so disabling Paypal wouldn't help in that regard.

Bank transfers can be free (so-called “IBAN” here), you “just” need to have banks
that want happy customers (and are regulated to do so).
(They are surely getting back their money in other ways… but personal accounts
are generally free too.)

It’s funny how payment method habits are very varied (inside EU too).

You will need at least 10 sales with positive feed back before you can add other
methods of payment.
Also you might want to keep PayPal as a fee option as some buyers will only pay
with PayPal for the buyer protection.
Its always good to have choices. And if its all about PayPal taking there cut
of the transaction well that is the cost of doing business. Raise your pricing
if you want more money in your pocket.

You should be able to pay with your credit card through PayPal. Just select the
credit card option rather than PayPal balance when you are on the PayPal site.
