Hello,

I'm not sure whether the product managers within Bricklink review these forums
for suggestions, or if I'm just speaking into to void, but a simple change
I would appreciate is the ability to change the default payment method.

In my country, and I believe this is true in other countries as well, PayPal
is about 1% more expensive than Stripe.

Giving sellers control over the default payment method would allow buyers with
a preference to continue using the payment method they prefer, while also allowing
sellers to use the lowest cost payment processor for buyers without a preference.

I believe the aggregate savings across the marketplace could be quite substantial.

Thanks

Even better would be for Lego to leverage it's relationship with Adyen to
integrate onsite card payments directly within Bricklink.

I realise that would require substantial development effort, but it could also
be a potential revenue stream, assuming Bricklink retains a proportion of the
cost savings.

I think this is a good idea and have suggested it in the past - there should
be an option for sellers to accept "BrickLink payments" just as is done
on other marketplace sites.
