Why should the client be paying for a service they're providing to you?
More importantly, how can they stay in business if they cover the costs your business creates for them? 

Half does sound like a lot; you should look into the account fee structure and see if you're missing something, like if there's a minimum per purchase, or some settings that could be changed.

Your other options include raising your prices, as you've mentioned (which is what most businesses do, to cover the costs of licenses and tax fees - they need to make income on top of those, so the prices are raised to cover for them), or selling on a platform like Steam, which allows regional price differences.

Unfortunately greed of the taxman always hurts the consumer and the platform.
Instead of handling taxes the right way, the platform passes the cost to the seller, and the seller will pass the cost to the client. At the end it will make using the platform more expensive for the client, and that hurts the platform's competitiveness

Hi Kia! I'd suggest selecting "Direct to you" payout mode and having a serious conversation with your parents about getting the bully in control. If your parents doesn't seem to be helpful to you, then please go the school social worker and tell her/him that money is being mugged from you. I would recommend consulting with a reasonable adult before you go to the social worker if no proper support is being  or could be received from the parents. This could be a teacher you can trust or a reasonable family member.

If the school social worker is incapable of providing proper action towards the bully, please go to the administration of the school or report it to the police with a parent, or a teacher being with you. You have to effectively communicate to them how serious this is.

Take care, and respect your own self!

Looks like you've took the `bully` example literally, It's just a figure of speech, in this case the bully is the government.

Not really, most of it goes to corrupt officials that have nothing better to do than creating laws to oppress us, throw us in jail and limit our freedoms.
We are paying for police force that hate us, educational system that make our kids dumb, healthcare that keeps us sick, militaries that starts wars and the economy that keeps us poor.
We would've thrive if only the government would've leave us alone.

We both are more or less correct. It's just important to not forget about the good things the tax system brings. You might live in a country where the most or at least some things stated by you are true, but the things you have said are the things you think about, maybe more than you should. The things you think about can have and most likely has a massive impact of your well being. The things you can change are the ones that have the biggest impact on you, so I suggest focusing on them.

Your thoughts shape you and often impact the way your life goes. Take care of yourself!
