Fees are average, not as expensive as some agents but not the cheapest either. I would say they are reasonable.

would not sale or purchase from you because you do not understand the meaning of customer service. you should be ashamed to be called a business. your type of concerns encourage customers to deal with foreign business or run by people from overseas.
