Unlike US/UK markets, most German categories use flat rates rather than tiered pricing.

International selling fees vary by destination: 1.91% for EU, US, and Canada; 1.43% for UK; and 3.93% for all other countries. No separate payment processing fee is charged — it is included in the final value fee.
Reducing Your Fees
If you’re selling domestically as a private seller, you already benefit from 0% fees. Business sellers can minimize costs by listing in lower-fee categories (Electronics at 3%, Motor Parts at 5.7%). Top Rated Seller status provides a 10% FVF discount. For items priced above €1,990 in the catch-all category, only 2% is charged on the excess amount.
