Was expecting to have around $8,000 and turns out they took nearly $2,000 in "fee's" for the 2 trades I made (plus the fee's for loading money from bank.)

Complete and utter poppycock.
You really shouldn't make up such nonsense. Some newbie is likely to accidentally believe you.
If you funded the account with LocalTill, you paid at most a 4% fee. ($200)
If you placed a single $5000 buy order as a market order, you paid at most a 0.4% fee ($20)
If you placed a single $8000 sell order as a market order, you paid at most a 0.4% fee ($32)
All together you'd have paid $252 in fees.
That's $52 in "fees" for the 2 trades you made (plus the fee for loading money from bank).
