From my experience, it's really hard to get the posted rate. I went into one shop and asked about commission. He replied, "No commission." Then I asked if he was going to steal my money. He looked at me strangely so I asked him again, "Are you honest, or are you going to steal my money?" His reply -- "There is commission."
Another shop only gave me 809,000rp instead of 890,000rp. I pointed out the mistake, and his answer was -- commission.
In Sanur my favorite place is across from La Taverna. They give you a receipt - it's totally hassle-free!
