AFAIK paypals terms&service forbid to demand a higher price for paying with paypal.

Also theres a german law which forbids additional fees for paying with CC.

The credit card thing is only since 2018, forgot about that. Regarding PayPal, maybe it is in their TOS, but here [0] is a Screenshot from Airberlin (from an article about the new CC rules [1]) from before 2018. 7€ extra for both PayPal and CC, 5€ for SEPA and no extra cost for GiroPay.

Interesting, because lots of brick-and-mortar German businesses (especially restaurants) simply don't take credit cards, because of the processor fees. You'll go very hungry in Germany if you go there with a credit card and no way of getting any cash.
