Lots of other countries have debit cards linked to accounts with standing credit, instead of the "credit card" that you pay off every month.

These debit cards very low fees, sometimes they work as both debit and visa card, so you can use them abroad too.

Who gets the seller fees?

In the US, you only get a piece of the action if you use a credit card. Otherwise you still pay the higher, transaction-fee-included price, but you don't get any part of the transaction fee.

I see many stores with fees for using foreign credit cards. Like ~1 USD..

Or I guess the seller pockets the fee.

We have debit cards in the US too... that’s how apps like Venmo work.
