PayPal fee calculator Germany — what German sellers keep in 2026

German sellers are on the same EEA schedule as Ireland: 3.4% + €0.35 for domestic commercial payments, and payments from other EEA countries are treated as domestic — selling to France, Spain or the Netherlands costs no surcharge. Buyers in the UK add 1.29%, the rest of the world 1.99% (modelled at 1.99% so fees are never understated). For kleine Beträge — digital goods under roughly €10 — the Micropayments plan (5% + 5¢) usually nets more; switch plans in the country dropdown. Receiving USD? PayPal’s conversion into euro takes a 3% spread.

Reverse mode answers the classic freelancer question — what to charge so an exact net amount survives PayPal’s cut: type the net figure and it solves the request. The full EEA schedule sits in the table below, and the comparison page runs the same payment through Stripe, Etsy and eBay fees too.
