Didn't experience this when I purchased an item off eBay on Sunday and checked out using Amex via eBay's payment system (didn't use Apple Pay). In fact, never had this issue of extra fees even when checking out with PayPal and selecting Amex.
The only issue I did have was trying to pay with my Amex via PayPal on the Salomon website. The website said they only accepted Mastercard, Visa or PayPal and I thought I could get around that by paying with my Amex via PayPal as is often the case with retailers that only accept Mastercard, Visa or PayPal, but they outright rejected the PayPal payment 24 hours later and had to place the order again with my Visa card.

I was presuming Blofeld was transacting in GBP and PayPal had ill advised that Amex always converted the amount into USD when using PayPal on eBay auctions, which isn't the case if the transaction is in GBP to begin with. Out of interest is the seller/item based in the UK?
If the item is being sold in USD, then 100% any card that doesn't have foreign transaction fees such as Monzo, Starling, etc.
