have you ever read your agreement with paypal?
you would be better off just raising your prices by 5% and not stating you are charging surcharges.
if u use a merchant payment gateway, you are charged a certain percentage also. it is a cost of doing business.
people who pay with credit cards even goiong to paypal and it is listed that they are paying a surcharge can complain to the cc company and to paypal, which could lead to trouble.
