Would imagine you would need to use PayPal's API and do a little math on the payments to split it into two accounts possibly? I haven't had a lot of experience with the PayPal API yet (I have some plans to get some more experience with it soon) and it's pretty extensive. Have a look - https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/

I would highly suggest going with https://stripe.com/ it is a new and updated version of paypal and easy to use api it is getting known out in the real world lots of apps use it as some of them being Lyft, facebook, and shopify.

Stripe isn't a "new and updated version of paypal". It's a different service that is setup (as far as I know) only for credit card payments. It is not a replacement for PayPal. Please be aware when building applications that you should probably include PayPal if you're looking at Stripe. PayPal first, then Stripe (unless you only want to accept credit card payments).

@OP - I imagine that users would pay for the product into, for example, [email protected] - and then they would calculate 5% ($amount*0.05) and use PayPal's MassPay API/other to pass on the other 95%.

Stripe is lovely, but just not a replacement for PayPal. There's also Braintree @OP - if you're interested in a thing similar to Stripe. It's run by PayPal, but not quite as good as Stripe as far as I can tell.
