Hi Mark,
Thanks for your question.
Sorry for the delay. Although I cannot do the exact math for you, there’s actually a fee of 3.5% + $0.25 when you buy BTC using your credit card on CEX.IO. Apart from that, buying bitcoin comes with a 7% transaction fee, and you may lose a bit of value on your fiat currency from the exchange rate. Fees on CEX.IO also vary depending on the transaction. So, this could explain the credit card fee you incurred and 52 euros taken from your account. Nevertheless, it’s always good to note that with crypto currencies, fees are possibly charged when you buy or sell, as to how much, that depends on the exchange platform you use and the rates they charge.
Cheers,
May

Hi, I deposited 500 euros at CEX.io via credit card. When is was available to buy BTC is was only 448 euros. Is this correct. They charged a fee on top of my credit card deposit and then deducted another 52 euros from my CEX account. Any help is welcome. Thanks.
