Around EUR 40 to withdraw from MtGox? I just withdrew around EUR 940 from my MtGox account and transferred it to an account in a European bank that does not charge anything for incoming international transfers.

MtGox charged me a bit over EUR 40 for making this direct transaction from their Japanese bank. I'm a verified user.

Maybe it's my lack of experience with them, but I feel this is little short of robbery. 40 euros? Anybody has a similar experience?
If you used the japanese bank its not a european transfer, but an international wire, and intermediate banks took their share on those fees.

I often say "with international wire, expect to loose 2-8% on random intermediate bank fees", sorry to tell you that but, thats the traditional obsolete banking system of the real world.

Afaik the mtgox fee for that is more or less 15.46 euro,you probably had around 25 more euros on "intermediate bank fees", ask for more info to your bank about international wires.

Actually receiving 900 for 940 sent is not so bad for an international transfer, be happy I seen worst ;)

Also, even with those "intermediate" added fees, it could be worth it when all other withdrawal options are delayed, like sepa or okpay taking 1-2 weeks .
