Frequently asked questions
What does PayPal charge for selling goods in Germany?
2.49% plus €0.35 per transaction for goods and services payments (private and business accounts), per PayPal's July 2026 fee schedule.
Is “friends & family” free?
Within Germany and for euro payments within the EEA, yes. Don't use it for purchases – it has no buyer protection, and using it for sales breaches PayPal's terms.
How do I pass the fee on?
Use the “amount to request” mode: it calculates the gross amount so that you receive your target after fees. Check your country's rules on surcharges for consumers.
