I remember seeing this on some website but couldn't remember where it is.
For example, if user needs to pay for a $100 product on my online shop and the transaction fee is $5, they can check a checkbox saying "willing to cover the transaction fee" so he actually pays $105 and I get $100.
Does paypal provide a way to do this or I will have to do this on the website's end?

having seen it once on a site is not proof that paypal accepts it.
the cgu, yes, they are applicable.
what do you think about your side?

it's not to annoy you, just to avoid having problems with the cgu.
it is sometimes difficult to affirm things and/or be wrong. better to check.
