I think you misunderstood the question. I gave $5k to stated charity via PayPal. They may have their PayPal account goofed up or something, but PayPal charged them approx $150 in fees. When I filled my taxes, I claimed the the whole $5k gift as a deduction. The tax receipt the charity sent me was not for 5k, but rather 5k minus that PayPal fee, so basically $4850. Can they do that? No other charity has ever done that.
