Title: silk road fee question
Post by: ayatollahjones on November 26, 2012, 09:05 pm
If i send 400$ to my silk road account all that shows up is about 340$.  what is the fee they are charging for just depositing money???  Ill start out with like 420$ bucks and after moneygram, bitinstant , and sr i end up with 340$.  Does this sound right??

First off, there is no fee for depositing to your account on silk road. Every step along the way to purchase bitcoin usually incurs a fee, but once you have your BTC you'll only pay transaction fees, which at this point are mostly nil. It seems like you've paid way too much in fees somewhere though, $80 ~= 20% of your purchase.
