I tried to pay with Stripe only once and it didn't let me. Can't live in Germany and provide a Dutch bank account. Should not make any difference within the Single Euro Payment Area. Sorry, DeepL, then I will have to continue to use the free version, I'm not missing any features anyway, I just wanted to pay for my use... (I also let support know but they didn't care of course.) PayPal required for a few years that I use a VPN for being allowed to log in. All the support could do for me was offer to close my Dutch account so that I could open a German account to use here. I hear that others have no problems using PayPal while on holiday abroad, so not sure what's up with that. Sometimes it also throws javascript errors and gets stuck on some loading icon. Plus all the horror stories about paypal. The things that always worked effortlessly for me were iDeal (collaboration of Dutch banks for online payments), regular bank transfers (always free in the SEPA zone, but takes 0-4 days depending on bank holidays and servers that take a weekend off), and direct debit (provide your name, address, and IBAN, such as at Liberapay, and everything will be arranged automatically). Basically, the European stuff simply works, not sure why.
