Mmmm, that makes it even harder.
Just checked my last 8 payments on PP (USD and EUR, 5 different countries). Overall
fee is 5.6%. Ranging from a 3.6% to 8.1%.
How can you get a cost table implemented like that that can be explained and
maintained as well?

How about you set 3 or 4 zones
1 zone 3%
1 zone 3.5%
1 zone 4%
1 zone 5%

buyer always wins a little compared to your actual cost, you don't charge
more then allowed (so ok for local laws) and it makes things simple for your
customers
yes you'll loose a bit on the transactions, but are you so strongheaded and
determined to charge your customers every single cent their order costs you
You should be happy you get orders from customers, treat them well and in an
honest way, overcharging them with costs won't help your future business
