Pedantically, but rightfully :) I promise it was not intentional, sorry
for that.

Sadly, Paypal's fees could be rather unreasonable in some cases. For
instance, my Paypal account is not in EUR and they're willing to charge
~3.80 EUR as "Paypal fees" + a rather poor currency conversion rate for
a ~30 EUR "personal transaction", example:
Vous paierez :35.97 CHF (free translation: "you'll pay")
o...@gmx.de recevra 29.41 EUR ("o...@gmx.de will receive")
I was initially suggesting Github sponsors as of today AFAIK they don't
take any fee for 1-to-1 sponsorship and they charge in USD, allowing
non-USD-native donors to work around terrible currency conversion rates
by using platforms like Revolut or Transferwise. Also, GitHub sponsors
works in a subscription fashion which is also convenient to avoid doing
a one-off donation and then forgetting about the project. Surely there
might be caveats, for instance I don't know if you can use this system
if the source code of the project itself is not hosted in Github and
also of course I don't know what your feelings are about Github in
general.
There are other options like Liberapay and Patreon but I don't have any
experience using them so I can't give any input.
I'll stop here as I don't feel comfortable talking about something
that's not my business. I don't want to give the impression that I'm
patronising, I'm just humbly trying to make things better for
everybody. I totally understand as well that spending time setting this
up without actually knowing how many people would be willing to get on
board might sound like a waste of time (hence my question to other
fellow users) :)
Have a nice day and thanks again!
