How can I set additional fees to the order?

Today I received an order but the customer paid instantly via PayPal before I could have set additional charge for PayPal fee. How can I set additional fees like at BrickLink? I'd like to set a 5% fee of the total amount as PayPal fee before payment is sent. Thanks in advance for the answers!

I found info at https://www.brickowl.com/help/store-fees
So if I want to add fee I need to increase "shipping cost".

In Hungary you shouldn't have a problem with this but US sellers need to be aware that charging a fee for using Paypal is against their terms. They will cancel your membership if they find that you do so. The way around it is to offer a discount on other methods of payment where you may incur no fee (IBAN, cash, check, Google Wallet, etc.)

Word from the 'other' site is that PayPal is changing their terms in the EU to match their policy in Canada/North America coming in Jan if I remember correctly.

@benjudge looks like you figured it out: BO does not support any form of fee (*) ;-) So indeed simply increase a bit your shippingcosts (and 'items' if you feel it's needed). Also what @dagsbricks says is correct, indeed in EU one can charge a fee for the use of paypal, but people seem to forgot about another rule in the ToS of Paypal: You cannot disfavorit Paypal when doing so: it technicly means you also need to charge the same 'fee' with other payment methods if you don't wanna breach their ToS.

(*) except the 'combined' fee, as the system allows buyers to generate additional orders to 'open' orders, those additional orders have no minimum, so a few cents of parts would generate a second payment with paypal, with it's minimum cost offcourse... The combined fee allows to cover that 'minimum' cost.
