Edit: $137.5 = 100 + 2.5 (CC charge) + 35 (company service fees).

What was the issue? It was pretty straight forward for me, other than the bad UI experience. Got evisa approval within 2 days.

Chinese visas are worse. It's gotten better, but before the 10-year visa came in play, I dreaded how often you would have to reapply. Of course, you pay more as a US passport holder than other countries.
