I just paid for this using Paypal.
I prefer paying straight from my bank account rather than using a credit card. My debit card (Dutch pin card) cannot be used for online payments, but Paypal is connected to my bank account. Is Stripe able to do something similar?

Same here, also Dutch. I, and I think almost all Dutch people with me, prefer paying from a debit account. This means either iDeal or Paypal with a connected bank account.
I've never integrated Stripe, but it seems it is possible to use iDeal with stripe:

Just curious: would you have not purchased if PayPal wasn't available and you had to use a credit card?

I would've this particular purchase, I'm one of those "DIY auto repair enthusiasts" :)
Using the debit card (PayPal) is just a way of tricking myself into buying stuff really :) With credit card I am constantly reminded of how much I have left of my limit (just like seeing how much cash I have left in my wallet) and next month I'm hit with a big bill for stuff I bought "long time ago".

Stripe can in America, through the ACH system. Seems to be able to do SEPA direct debit these days if the vendor is in the EU, too.
