Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not?


I recently purchased an item and after accepting my offer the seller asked for PayPal fees (3%). I checked the listing and nothing was listed in the ad about my paying the fees.  I have already payed half the fee but I'm not sure if I should have paid the full amount. Changing the deal after accepting the offer feels wrong to me. Looking for guidance.

Personally, I think we should accept most buyers will be using PayPal and price our items with the understanding that we'll have to pay a fee. Guess what? Virtually every merchant you deal with who accepts credit cards pays a fee for that service. I never charge PayPay fees but do ask that people consider paying as a "friend" and I've done the same. No PayPal fee but less protection for the buyer. I have a 100% rating here and palm to keep it that way.
