As indicated by Roland (therobo) in the old thread from 33 months ago, the efforts to send a FREE SEPA payment are somewhat different in all SEPA countries, which is a different set of countries than the EU or the countries using the EURO as currency. These differences cover very fine steps between "free and easy" (as for most German bank accounts, for example), and "very costly, upopular and even being heavily and widely discouraged from"* like in the UK. Even as an option, I do not see a good solution here unless every seller is allowed to determine the set of affected countries himself. This is possible for "ship to" locations already, but the payment type section is not set up for that (yet). Jan *AFAIK, even eBay.co.uk strongly advised not to use a bank transfer as payment type - at least a few years ago. Right now, I do not find this strong statement anymore. http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/pay/methods.html
