> I got used to that and recently tried to use a Polish bank account to pay on Amazon and surprisingly it didn't work. Amazon has sent me an automated email with a demand for a (push) transfer, sadly with added fee for the trouble.

That might be a function of Poland not being in the euro zone. AFAIK SEPA Direct Debit is only for transfers in Euro. Even if you tried to use a Euro bank account in Poland, either your bank or Amazon might not have bothered to implement it.

Yep, I did use an EUR account. You may be right about the lack of proper implementation.

Did you have Marketplace charges? These are USD only.

When they launched the SEPA direct debit option a couple years ago I tried it and the debit bounced back.

Eventually I did not have the need for marketplace instances anymore, then I tried it again and it worked.
