      It’s called “per Nachnahme”, C.O.D. in English. You’d pay the postman for your parcel and the post office would pay the sender. It used to be quite popular in pre internet days. You whippersnappers wouldn’t remember. Not used a lot any more these days.

          In my experience, if a seller in Germany offers that option, it’s 5 - 6€ extra, I don’t know anyone that ever used that service. Probably was more common before online payment was easy.
