to pay in a specific currency (HUF?) then it's another 5% but on the whole
(including fees AND shipping).

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.
