You all are missing the point, while it is done, it is very stupid to admit to in writing.
There is many times a gray area on guilt, until the guilty is dumb enough to admit to it.
As I see it based on ebay rules, he has willfully and admittedly violated two major rules. I would send the messages to ebay, and see what they have to say. Covering shipping and handling costs is one thing and that's how it should always be addressed, however admitting that you are covering the ebay and paypal fees is a violation of both ebay and paypal policies.
On paypal you cannot charge extra to cover pp fees, you can however offer a cash discount.
There are some guys on several forums getting busted by paypal for getting paid as a "gift" as well, which eliminates paypal fees. The other dumb side of this is that the buyer has no recourse if their item doesn't show up.
