On Etsy they charge a 3.5% fee to the total of the sale, and paypal charges 2.9 percent of the sale. So on a $5 sale, would paypal charge 2.9% from the $5 sale or the $4.83 that I would make after Etsy has applied it's fee?

In regards to your question, the PayPal fees depend on the amount you receive into your PayPal account. PayPal charges the associated processing fees based on the total amount received.
Thanks!
