Ziya, your response was something that was very difficult for me to comprehend. For instance, are you describing to me the charges for using a Chinese bank's credit card outside of China? Or instead are you describing the charges for using a U.S. bank's credit card within China?

I wanted to calculate that in terms of bitcoins, so I used:

to find out that is 2.0588 BTC, or going the other direction:
http://bitcoin.1t2l.net/widget/?from=BTC
to convert BTC to USD and I get about $1.53 USD. So another 2 yaun plus 0.5% to 1%, for total fees.

Those sound excessive for a simple credit card transaction, though I've never traveled to China. If I had to guess I'd say that those are the charges to use a U.S. ATM card to withdraw cash from an ATM in China.

Ok. ..., I'll send the bitcoin. What is your bitcoin address? It was Erick's question but you answered. Are you two on the same team?

I am sorry ,i dont describe exactly. And i know someing about that recently. I will show it again.
Using a Citibank Debit Card within china charge for free. Using a Chinese bank's credit card outside of China also charge for free.But you should sure that the credit card being used on chinese ATM.
Hope this helps you~~~
