We were using Blockchain with our site for quite a while but this has become ridiculous - they were charging around $0.04 initially for sending 1 Bitcoin transfer but now if we paid a member $1.50 for instance (worth of Bitcoins, a minimal amount) we would see a $1.75 deduction i.e. $0.25 is in fees!
That's absolutely ridiculous, yesterday it was $0.11 and now it's $0.25 - they keep on raising the fees.
Is this normal?
Nope it's not normal for this amount. Please check your transaction fee settings and change into normal and then in mobile you can find the option to customise the transaction fee limit and you can very less amount but it need more than an hours to complete the transaction.
This may help you I think.
