Hello 

I planning to start using Bitstamp but I didn't understand how does the trade fees work? I want to but 50000 US dollar so every time I but an offer will they take 0.25%??will they take 12,500 us from the trading??  Can anyone explain for me please

0.25% means multiple your dollar amount by .0025, so 50000*.0025 = 125. It's a whopping $125 fee for trading $50k. It drops to .24% after $20k though:
