I wanted to send $9 worth of bitcoin through my blockchain wallet and was shocked to be charged a $4 miner fee. I adjusted it a bit using advanced send but was sceptical when the familiar message that it might not be confirmed popped up. I didn't want to risk that so i sent it. It still took 21 hours to be confirmed and i raised a ticket when i discovered $0.04 was displayed as miner fee while $13 was deducted for the whole transaction, meaning $4 was charged. Then why the display of $0.04?
I got an apology as reply and explanation that miner's fee are based on file size of the transaction among other factors and not on the actual value of transfer and the appropriate
miner's fee are automatically included based on dynamic fee calculation.
I wasn't satisfied with the explanation and still could not figure out what went wrong. I have never encountered that since I've been sending through blockchain. I wish someone could really explain this.

Post the txid.

They mentioned the size of the transactions so, how many inputs did you have in you transaction?
If you had collected a lot of "dust" then the fee would indeed be high.

I think I've moved a few mbtc a week ago and it was something like 20 cents for around 20mbtc. With only 2 inputs.

It seems in actual you are not the only one facing this situation as its general to everyone and unfortunately I don't see what anyone can do about it. When I first started, I have made transfer with less than 50 cents worth of bitcoin last fee months when I tried the same it has risen to about 4 dollars and today, if I am to do the same, it will cost me as much as $12 and there is nothing I can do just to avoid all bit payments in other to reduce costs.

Same for you

.
Can you please post the txid for this 4$ fee?
