Default I'm still on the hook for the PayPal fee

Just experienced a NY state sale where eBay charged the buyer NY state sales tax and then automatically withdrew that sales tax amount from my PayPal account. I was charged the PayPal fee for the entire purchase, which included the sales tax. So, I got stuck with paying the PayPal fee on the NY state sales tax. This really stinks.
