Default Neteller Canadian Exchange

Maybe I'm missing something about the way money and exchange rates work, but this seemed strange to me...

A withdrawl to Cdn$ on Neteller right now has an exchange rate of 1.207 Cdn for each american dollar.

But...

A Deposit has an exchange of 0.7974 American for each Cdn$.

This would mean that if I withdrew $100 US, I'd get about $120 Cdn, but that if I deposited this same money back on to neteller, I'd only get about $96 US.

Shouldn't the exchange be the same either way? I could understand some sort of fee established for these transactions, but this seems to be a hidden cost.

Regards
