Electrum Wallet charged me.
No, it didn't. That fee doesn't go to the wallet... it goes to the miners. This is how the bitcoin network works. Did you read about the transaction fees in the link I put in my previous message? You have to pay a fee to get your transaction mined into a block, that's the way bitcoin works.

Electrum is one of the better wallets for giving you complete control over the transaction fee you want to include in your transaction. By default it uses a dynamic fee system that adjusts to the current network conditions to calculate a fee for a fast confirmation time. If you want, you can adjust the slider to reduce the fee (but increase the time it takes for confirmation) or even go for a manual fee setting where you can calculate it yourself and enter specific fee amounts.
