Help asked for online payment in The Netherlands

[Clockwork22]

Hallo Nederlanders,

Let me introduce myself: I'm a 34 year old Austrian who has an online business in watches. I sell them on Ebay and several other marketplaces, including your Dutch equivalent www.marktplaats.nl.

Recently, this marketplace has introduced a new option called "Marktplaats Extra" which is claimed to increase seller's revenue by up to 300%. Unfortunately it's not free but costs €50 per month. Now here's the caveat: while it is possible to pay with credit card or Paypal for other options on the site - like placing your advertorial on top - this option only accepts IDeal.
Since I don't have a Dutch bank I can't pay for this option. Obviously I contacted their customer service department and while they're planning to add other payment options in the future, they couldn't tell me when.

I have no idea where I should ask this, but since I'm somewhat familiar with Bitcoin and this place has a Dutch subforum I thought it'd be best.

I will give €65 in Bitcoins or Paypal to anyone who wants to pay this €50 function for me. It's a quick €15 profit for you and hopefully more revenue for me. Willing to pay upfront with established members, or escrow service with new ones. Please PM me or comment in this topic.

Hmmm, it costs 50 euro per month but isn't a subscription? I might be willing to do this, but I want to read up first. Also, how would this take place? Do I get your account credentials or?

Hi, i just visited the marktplaats-extra, and i have the option to pay with paypal! It is added now.
So it's not only to pay with i-deal any more!

And you have to pay every 4 weeks 49,95€ and not 1x per month.
cheers

you made me curious. What kind of watches do you sell? Can you give us a link to your ebay or marktplaats account?

As I read it is a subscription indeed, but you can manually change it immediately after you paid. I think the best way is to set a default password to let you pay, after which you immediately cancel subscription and I change password again. If you have other suggestions how to do it, I'd love to hear them.

@ thunth

Very strange because there is no Paypal option for me! I did some reading with Google translate on their info page and found only Belgian,Dutchand German can pay with Paypal. It was not specific about their extra function, but maybe it applies to that as well?

@MisterLG

I sell low-middle to high-middle range watches. Anywhere from €150 to €1200. A bit reluctant to publicly link to my marktplaats page since this topic might conflict with their terms of use.

Pas op jongens! Ik heb even op google gezocht en zijn account op ebay heeft slechts 10 transacties waarvan 2 negatief, waarin staat dat ze opgelicht zijn en politie moest helpen. Verder is dit account gedeactiveerd in 2001 en komt hij uit Amerika.

Ik kan niet met 100 procent zekerheid zeggen dat dat account ook van deze persoon is, maar lijkt mij sterk dat je precies dezelfde naam als account hebt: clockwork22.
Ook raar dat hij dure horloges verkoopt via websites als marktplaats en geen link wilt delen.
