It might be as Ofnuts post, but checking Irfanview it does show transparency as black.
Your screenshot is very helpful but does raise questions.
The clipboard brush that you get from a select -> copy is active. Only one layer ?
Are you using the clipboard brush as a 'stamp' ? That will introduce a degree of anti-aliasing, blurs it.
Sprites also have their own issues.
If you transform - that is scale / rotate ... in any way, the default interpolation 'cubic' blurs the sprite. Use the 'None' interpolation option.
This some comparisons of the above.
..and for FWIW my advice is Copy then Paste-as-a-New-layer. You end up with lots of layers. Save that as a Gimp .xcf When complete exporting as a png flattens them.
