It can add up to some money.
This would be the case if the tool owner were to return the deposit by using the "send money" option. However, PayPal also has a "refund" option (either full or partial). From their web site:

If you send a full refund using the Refund link within 60 days of receiving the payment, PayPal will refund the fees charged for the transaction. If you send a partial refund, the percentage of fees refunded will match the percentage of the original transaction refunded.
