I think many people use ewallets to avoid fees.

AND

Transactions to a Bitcoin address from the same wallet provider are usually completed internally and, if so, will not be processed on the Bitcoin P2P network. Auditing tools such as the Block Explorer will not show any activity for this transaction.

download the newest version of the client, I guess you still run an old version since your fees are so high
0.3.25 still asks for a 0.0005 BTC fee

Everywhere Bitcoin is pimped as the one cure of "transactin fees".

Today, I wanted to send 0.4BTC to a friend. Seems I need to pay 0.03 BTC transaction fee.
Isn't that a little steep?

Just to understand:

Who (by which mechanism) decides the size of fees?
Who gets those fees? (I'm guessing some mining pool operator)
Is there a way to NOT pay 10% when sending smallish amounts of BTC?
