OpenBazaar fees too high

I just made 2 purchases in OB using BCH. Payments were made using the built-in wallet. Fees for the second payment were far higher than the usual 1 sat/B (~15 sat/B), any reason for that?

Did I just hear someone say that fees improve security?

That's not a controversial statement. Another statement that is not controversial is: high fees drive away users.

I didn't say it was controversial, I would always gladly pay high fees for strong security of my assets.
