    Oh, I wasn’t very specific what I was referring to is selling stuff online, like private store selling pdfs or royalty free music and stuff, cause the only two platforms that I know of are paypal and stripe

      iDeal that we have in NL should become a European standard. I believe they’re working on it but it’s slow.

      You can use banktransfers to sell stuff. Otherwise I think there are only country specific platforms.

    Not really. They have a minuscule fee of around 40cents if I remember right

      Depends on the country and the context. For private people in the Netherlands, it’s free. On my business account I pay something like 12 cents, plus 2 bucks per batch (which is why most companies only do payments every so often)…

        In the US it very much isn’t free. I realize the original commenter was asking about Europe and Asia, but something to be aware of if you want to visit this country. Here at least, you’re much better off using traveler’s cheques, rather than trying to rely on cash from ATMs and bank transfers.

  Maybe Wise? I suppose it depends on your needs as not a whole lot of people use Wise.

  No problem, just buy crypto with PayPal.
