Is there a 12% fee that I'm not aware of?

This is my first time buying from the DNM. I just transfered ~0.0398 BTC to helix and it sent 0.0378 BTC to my alphabay account (value confirmed by blockchain.info), but alphabay is only showing me 0.0333 BTC. ~12% less than what helix sent to it. Am I missing something here? Now I have to go thru all the hassle of buying BTC again, because I wanted to buy a 55 usd product, but now I only have 52 usd pretty annoying tbh

Yeah that's normal, You definitely gotta get a good amount more than what you actually want to buy.

It might be because alphabay values BTC lower then blockchain (i think) plus the 2.5% fee from helix of course
