As a non EU Seller, is there a possibility to take an order from a EU buyer that
cannot pay with any of the onsite payment methods?

A EU buyer asked me if he can pay using IBAN. The research I did so far lead
me to the conclusion that he cannot.
Or am I missing something?

Thanks for your help

Just googled it, I would not see any reason why he should not be able to make
a SEPA transfer into Swizerland using your IBAN, provided you have one.

It should be possible, but the seller has to enable IBAN for foreign buyers AND
the order must not be under 150€. For orders under 150€, BrickLink must collect
VAT which requires an onsite payment method (Paypal or Stripe).

I do not know if it is impossible but…I would be very careful about this. Do
some thorough research first.
Maybe things changed in the last couple of years (the last time for me in a similar
way of payment is about 10 years or so ago) there where quite some extra costs.
At that time, maybe still, a buyer needed to chose between taking or splitting
the costs for themselves or the both of you, when chosen wrongly it can cost
quite some fees.

Even if it's possible, you should count on €10 currency exchange fees. At
least, that's what I've been hit with repeatedly.
