How much was the transfer amount? If it was like 20k the fees sound ok.
Paypal is not cheap at all. They charge 3% for transactions and another 2% for currency conversion. A 20k PP transfer would have cost you around 1k.

$12.2= transaction fee (my bank)
$12.2= flat conversion tax (dollar to euro)
It makes, $120 to $140
Usually it is more $70 and this amount is free money for them.
You don't need to wonder why emoney (paypal, epassporte, paxum) is so popular.
Paypal is the cheapest.
