Re:Visa is planning the biggest changes to merchant fees in ... by rsynnott on Saturday February 08, 2020 @11:20AM (#22276481)
Most people would use a card for the TV, at least in person (online it’s very country dependent; probably card in the UK or Ireland, but could be SEPA, something like SOFORT or various other things in Germany, say). Not necessarily visa/mc; many countries have national networks, which are typically cobrandec with visa/mc.

Car could be SEPA (or equiv in non-Eurozone countries), bank draft, or even cash, though cheque is possibly less likely due to fraud concerns. Some people do it by actually physically going to a bank with the seller, I think (I don’t drive, so have never done his myself).

For in person stuff, where you live plays a role too; only a minority of countries currently have SEPA Instant, though that should change soon. For everyone else, it’s a day or so delay from when you send the payment in the bank app.
