I see, still thats quite a bit especially when need to hand over a large chunk on any sale from Irish/EU28 customers in tax!

Currently working with Elavon for credit card payments (cant disclose exact rates, but much cheaper than Stripe),

completely avoiding Paypal who can go and f&*k themselves,

and getting several of the larger customers to pay via SEPA bank transfer or bitcoin which have nearly no fees.

I am not sure I understand what you are talking about. If we set the price at $1K, we get from FastSpring $1K minus their commission, whether the customer has paid the EU VAT or some sales tax on top of that $1K or not. And it is FastSpring that does EU VAT remittance.
