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.

I had already paid the agreed price for the item. The seller then required for me to pay the PayPal fee before he shipped the item out.

WOW! Isn’t that considered extortion? Did that happen here on Agon? If so did you notify them? I would think the seller also would have been in trouble with Paypal. The guy is a low life crook....

I think anybody that charges a 3% Paypal fee should reciprocate and reimburse any retailer for credit card fees the retailer has to pay anytime the buyer uses a credit card. Seems only fair.
