I called and asked specifically what the fee was for. She said it was a conversion fee. So I said "So the original transaction was in GBP, and you converted it, and charged me 16 cents?" "Yes."
In other words, CCBill charged me 4.00 GBP (They didn't convert anything). Wells Fargo converted 4.00 GBP to $6.27 USD. Which at the time, was EXACTLY the same conversion rate I found on 10+ different places. Then, they charged me a 16 cents fee after it posted.
Then, CCBill, after receiving $6.27, paid me $5.95.

why do you think CCBill got $6.27 USD? You said the transaction was in GBP...that means wells fargo sent 4 GBP to CCBill, not $6.27USD.
Wells fargo hit you with the 16 cent fee to convert your USD funds into GBP to send 4 GBP to CCBills bank. (I am assuming you have a US account in USD correct?)
Then CCBills bank converts the 4 GBP back to USD to pay you out, & you got hit with a 2nd conversion fee for that.
