I'm also pretty new like a few of the others, but I have come to believe that some of these fees are a minimum. I noticed my fee for example stayed the same on Coinbase when transferring funds different amounts of coins. So, transfer more coins/usd at a time to have a lower percentage in your fees. I noticed this when testing with smaller amounts just to learn the process in case I lost money in cyberspace. Then when I did my "real" transfers I noticed the fee was the same. Anyhow...
