For example,when you pay the registration fee 250USD,we actually received only 238.7USD,and the paypal company charged the 11.30USD,so you need to pay 11.30USD to us or 71.19 to us or the 71RMB to us.

The runners who made the registration via ACTIVE.COM,the bank transfer fee has already been charged,so you do not have to pay for this.
