Just as a side note, it's technically against PayPal's TOS to include the fees in the charge. If they notice you doing it or someone reports you doing it, you can get in trouble. And it can be really obvious to PayPal if they see a bunch of transactions, for example, of $51.80 instead of $50, because the amount becomes oddly specific with fees included.
It's covered under this section of the User Agreement, because they consider charging the customer the fee as charging them extra to use PayPal: 4.6 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions.
So, in the end, it's probably not worth getting your account trashed and potentially have funds frozen over a dollar or two.
