Last month I tested with small amounts like $150-$300 at a time.

Just now I was about to place a limit order on Binance, then realized the regular spot maker fee is 0.1%, and it kind of threw me off. I know 0.1% doesn’t sound huge, but when you’re only buying small amounts and doing it more than once, it starts to feel like a lot.

That sent me down a rabbit hole looking for lower-fee exchanges, and I came across MEXC. From what I saw, the listed fees looked lower, which made me curious, but also a little confused. I’m not sure if it’s really that simple in practice or if there are extra catches depending on the pair or how you trade. For people here with smaller portfolios, how much do fees actually matter when choosing an exchange?
