I can answer part of that, Bregot, regarding the wire transfer fees. There's a fee from the outgoing bank to the sender when international transfers are made - that's the 30usd up front that you're being charged. The percentage, I'm assuming comes from the receiving (your) bank, for processing/exchanging the incoming transfer. Each bank has different policies on this regarding price. Our outbound transfers cost 25USD, and I've heard of differing over-seas banks charging anywhere from 5-30 dollars from the payment.

I'm not sure is CCbill or anyone has an option to raise your minimum payout, but that would be a short-term solution, and is what we recommend/provide to our overseas affiliates and producers. That way paying 30-50USD out of 500-1000USD isn't nearly as bad as the same amount out of 100-200USD
