I just add two lines to the transaction split:

PayPal (debit) <fee amount>
Service charge (credit) <fee ammount>

The result is a split transaction: PayPal increases by the total payment, the 
accounts receivables decreases by the total payment, PayPal decreases by the 
fee and service charges increase by the fee.  The *net* is PayPal increases by 
the payment less the fee, accounts receivables decreases by the total payment, 
and service charges increases by the fee.
