Where is The Best Place to Buy Ethereum? With Cheap Tx Fee.

The loss you acquired are mostly due to the transaction fees than the actual commission the service provider is charging. There are no cheap transaction fees in Ethereum. Even if you set the fees on lower side, the coin could get stuck forever.
The best way to handle Ethereum transaction are to deal in large amount or not deal at all. I haven't made Ethereum transaction but in my bitcoin transaction experience as well, I never transact an amount that is less than $100. Transacting below that means you are just dusting your wallet. And as Ethereum fees at the moment similar to Bitcoin, $100 should be ideal minimum for Ethereum as well.
