So I deposited 330 DRC, but only 325 are showing. Was there a fee taken out?
No, there is no deposit fee. Is the funds are locked now?
I think you was lucky to buy 10-12 tickets in previous round with a super low price 22.83 dcr.
The ticket fee is super high in such popular windows, so you have to pay ~ 0.5 - 0.6 DCR to the PoW miner for every ticket purchase transaction included in the block.
But it's still worth to buy them, since the vote reward from every ticket is ~ 1.5 - 1.6 DCR.
There are profs and cons in such strategy and we were always discussing hard it in forums and slack. If you don't want to buy cheap tickets with crazy fees, you can adjust your custom strategy in Evolution -> Tickets (tab) and set something like: MaxTicket price = 50, MaxTicket fee = 0.5 .Please notice that service will be always trying to use as low fee as possible in the round, it's not like use always only the max one; max is just mean that you don't want to buy with a higher fee. Also important to know, that you are paying only 54% of this fee because the transaction size is only 540 bytes, while you're setting the fee for 1 Kbyte.

Happy New Year!
