New fee structure started today. Here's the news article about it:

I received (what was supposed to be) a $20 transaction to my localbitcoins wallet, and was charged a little more than $1.40 "deposit fee". The sender paid over $2.00 fee to send. This seems pretty excessive considering the small amount being sent.
Aaaand... I'm switching wallets

So increasing the cost is the best alternative today to be able to provide comfort and speed for bitcoin users.
