The Payment method chosen by the buyer really doesn't affect BrickLink, so why
not allow it to be a little more free-form?

Right now, I know that some sellers would like to accept AlertPay, so that could
be added to the list. But, honestly, sellers can ALREADY accept AlertPay if they
want to -- they just don't have a standard way to let their customers know that.

I want to accept payment in LEGO. Or in store credit. Or in micro SD cards. Clearly,
though, I can't wait until BrickLink adds any of those as listed payment types.

So, the suggestion: Add a payment type called "Other" which allows the seller
to specify a payment type, along with any notes. Let us have three of these "Others"
if we want to use them.


Thanks!

Yeah, but does it have to be delivered in 30 minutes?

I like it, I would love to have "Trade" be a payment method, but this is the
next best thing.

I vote Yes.

I know there is already a way to put a note by a payment type, as I saw this
on one store.
It had amazon and then said that it did not take amazon pay but took amazon gift
certificates.

And the option should have the ability for a seller to put multiple instances
of "other" with a note by each one.
Or they could just say which ones, as a comment to the one other, and then ask
the buyer to put in the comments which other they are going to use.
