Not specifically. You can charge everyone the same rate regardless of payment
method though.
Speaking only for myself, I tend not to order from stores that nickle-and-dime
buyers on fees.

Of course I'll calculate and often it's still worth to buy with fees,
but I had to spend some time to calculate and compare 
Which is why in a general meaning I try to avoid shops with fees.
Note conversion fees are quite difficult and may represent the most.
Say you've a 5% PayPal or payment fee (on order total only), but then you've
to pay in a specific currency (HUF?) then it's another 5% but on the whole
(including fees AND shipping).
In the end it's not at all as simple as 5+5, it's maybe 12 or 13% fees
you pay...

| I recon this is done so you get more sales through the "auto select"
feature in "buy all"?
Or does the algorithm account for fees?

It doesn’t account for real shipping: it uses an average of “recent” “similar”
orders (it’s somewhere in the help I think); so I doubt it does anything with
fees.

This another 5% currency conversation fee could be saved by paying with your
card instead of using PayPal's awful exchange rate.
I have a Wise card which is added to my PP account and if I need to pay in any
other currency than EUR, the card issuer's rate will be used and Wise charges
way less than 5% for conversation.
An example: I paid at a Hungarian gas station 16070 HUF which equaled 41,23 EUR
and Wise charged me only 0,37 EUR for exchanging my EUR to HUF which is less
than 1%.

Interesting, thank you!
But those who use this trick must be 0.001% of the buyers
For the remaining, it's a lot of fees on top of fees.

not so for me I am not nickel-and-diming you I am trying to save some people
sales tax.
