Hey, I set up a banking account in my domestic currency but it seems that for some reason I’m not able to accept sell offers that are in other currencies. Why is that? Am I now limited to the very iliquid BTC market in my local currency? That would make Bisq completelly unusable for me.

If there is a supported payment method in the currency you wish to receive you can add that as account. But both parties need to agree on the payment method beforehand. Therefore you can’t just expect people to wire money to Botswana (and pay fees associated with that) when they were expecting to send Euro through SEPA (most likely no fee)
