rounding off cents.. Sponsor in Asia..

$750 - orig owed
$045 - sponsor's wire fee
$705 - wired
$579 - just received

wtf - $126 in fees?

Is this possible? My bank lists no fees altho they normally charge $13 for an incoming non-intl wire. So perhaps they charge more for an intl and it isnt listed yet, but surely not $126. Do corresponding banks charge along the way?

Either the sponsor is not being honest (very unlikely) or I got killed on this deal.
