Direct eth transaction cost the least while token transaction and dex transaction cost more. Even if you do BTC conversion, you can't avoid fees associated with sending token itself.
Indeed, I found that when I tried to send GOLD to Marketplace, still if is stored and needs to be sent from ETH wallet, then costs of transaction can't be avoided. I mistakenly thought that maybe if sent from exchange this cost can be lower or none but of course are even higher because all exchanges changed ETH transaction fees drastically long time ago.
We asked many times for more exchange options in Marketplace and hope that Digital Gold team will listen to us as always. This is truly a problem and 50$-100$ or even more in transaction fees makes GOLD token really hard to use from economical standpoint, especially for small or even medium players. Especially, that concurrence doesn't sleep and there are many copycats already available on multiple chains and exchanges.
Of course we all are here because we trust Digital Gold team and they proven to be trustworthy and professional at least few times already, still GOLD token needs to be easy and cheap to exchange, if not, this will for sure slower the adoption and userbase.
