It's also very fast (payment takes 2-3 days). But seller could save unnecessary PayPal fee. Thanks, Markus This would be great for scammers too. Direct payments to a bank account with no recompense for buyers when the seller disappears. If anything like this is implemented, I hope BL would have a very large warning about checking out the seller first. Oh come on! 75% of my BL payments go by bank transfer, all items on second hand websites around here go by bank transfer, pretty much everything goes by bank transfer. Sure people could technically steal, but that's always the case, and people will always find ways if they really want to. That issue (which is actually a non-issue, if you ask me ) is completely unrelated to this particular suggestion. Ah, but you are a good seller with a decent history here. Would you pay a zero feedback seller by bank transfer? If BL makes it normal that sellers can opt out of taking paypal for inter-EU transactions, then it wouldn't surprise me if the number of scams went up too. PS I have nothing against people taking payment by bank transfer if the buyer has confidence in the seller paying that way.
