If you are selling something it turns away potential buyers if they perceive you are trying to gouge them. Just like you getting angry at the mere idea that you should cover the Paypal fees.
On the other hand they feel good if they think they are getting something for nothing. So, as a seller, if you offer free shipping and no pay pal fees they think they are getting a bargain even if you inflate your asking price a little bit to cover the costs. Say you have something you want to pocket $1,500 for and you figure it will cost $50 to ship and $45 for paypal. Ask $1,695. You can come down a hundred and still get your $1,500.
I've sold hundreds of items that way and usually sold them quickly. Getting on your high horse over a 3% fee that you can recover by raising your price 3% is just plain idiotic. I believe the phrase is cutting off your nose to spite your face.
