I use Neteller, and I've never run into this problem. Usually I'll do the transaction from the online poker application directly, and I think that eliminates the fee.
Hawkins -- lighten up. Poker is fun.

Hey Dustin, I live in Nigeria and I need you to transfer some money for me...
Damn you faulty comment script! Damn you straight to h-e-double-hockeysticks!
Okay, after all the drubbing that's come in, I'll step forward and say that I've played at partypoker, and used their transfer service. It was exactly as described above (yes, someone in the carribean called me to verify), but I didn't have a transfer fee.
For those not in the know, you can easily break even in online poker by using their incentives. Most of the time, you need to have participated in 250 raked hands for up to 25% bonus. And if you choose to use the .50/$1 hold em tables, that means you can sit 10 hands and fold every single one of them, and it'd cost you .75. If all of them were raked, it'd take 25 rounds, and you'd come out ahead a few bucks, but most of the time, you break even.
I'm going too long here, but I haven't felt cheated about the play. And it's been a better experience than some of the casinos here in Vegas.
Except that my computer has never managed to bring me free booze.

Fercrissakes, the booze isn't really free! Unless you're sitting at the table or the video poker machine betting 1 coin per hand, those drinks are costing you!
I don't get it. How can somebody as apparently intelligent as Dustin be so stupid as to play online poker for money?
Maybe he thinks he can beat the colluders, bots, sandbaggers, pot manipulators, and artificially-intelligent carpetbaggers. (Google \"online poker cheat\" for a catalog.)
Good luck.
No offense is intended, but I wonder if Dustin simply needs to transfer money to a... uh... business associate, in a difficult-to-detect (and tax-deductible!) manner.
