I know, that for setting up my stripe account, I HAD to provide a credit card number, which I did not had, as they are not needed in EU.

My European debit card number worked just fine (as it basically always does when someone asks for a “credit card”)

I only had a EC card, but now have a credit card as well.

(all those different standards are a bit annoying)

By choosing to only have an EC card you’re making a deliberate choice to make your life difficult by using an incredibly obscure method of payment, no?

You can hardly expect those to work even in other EU countries, much less with an US based online business.

Almost everybody else in the world has a visa or a mastercard (or unionpay)
