To our fellow EU sellers who have, or still do, collect payment via IBAN...

Is IBAN still functional in the EU for onsite payments, either through Stripe
or something else BrickLink has setup? And how is it done?

We use something similar in Canada, and I know these kinds of payments are not
common in the US, so I'm trying to be proactive about seeing what options
are available once marketplace tax collection goes live for us here.

Thanks!

I'm not in the EU but I don't think IBAN/bank transfer is onsite on BrickLink.

I see in Stripe for EU that SEPA (as well as a few country specific options like
iDEAL) are offered. SEPA handles IBAN style transfers from what I'm seeing.

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/sepa-debit

I was curious if these kinds of options that you turn on in Stripe actually work
properly on the BL side, and if EU folk were using this. Trying to find similar
options on the Canada side that will work since Interac E-transfer won't
work eventually for us (assuming BL wouldn't setup the direct Interac E-transfer
option onsite).

Stripe can handle bank transfers but I don't think BL has enabled this for
Stripe - only credit and debit cards.

Good to know, thank-you! I wasn't sure if it functioned on BL but that answers
that

I'm offering off-site IBAN payment, but I'm only selling within the EU,
and without taxes (I'm a private seller, not a business). Under these conditions
it works fine.

Yep, it's a pain.

Stripe provide tens of other payment modes which would allow payment for
buyers that don't have/like/use those above cards, unfortunately they aren't
implemented on BL

I wish BL could do something about this.
