Er, honestly I wouldn't haggle over a few dollars or cents XD If I were commissioning someone and for some reason they decided I needed to pay paypal fees too, I would do so, but attempt to politely point out that that's against paypal's TOS.
Unfortunately some people are super sensitive to any criticism and may get upset no matter how polite you are. So maybe it'd be best to wait for the commission to be done and delivered, then I might say something like "thanks for this commission, I love it! I just wanted to give a word of feedback, though, technically it's against paypal's TOS to charge for fees. I don't mind paying it, but you might want to raise your prices to include the fees instead of charging separately. Anyway, thanks for the lovely art"
