its my first payout, but its also a couple thousand dollars. itch took a cut when i put no cut as well, so ive been getting screwed over in many ways lol

Itch is a store and therefore must withhold taxes for legal issues and obviously charges you for validating your data.In addition to wanting to use its infrastructure for free, do you want Itch to pay your legal fees?
In any case, Itch has an option, where you can directly take charge of sales without going through itch, better read the documentation.

I'd like to give them a cut, but for the first test run ive done i wanted to see how things played out first. I paid the fee, as was stated in the payout. The itch share was about 10%, which is fine, just was wondering why it said i could put 0. I dont exactly mind them taking a cut, i just wish they'd communicate with me regarding my support issue
If I have not misinterpreted your question.
I think the itch part is calculated at the time of purchasing the game, not when withdrawing the money.
If you set 0%, it will only have effects on purchases made after the configuration change, but not the previous ones or that's what I understand from the information I have seen.
To that you must add the operator's costs and the money that is withheld for legal issues. If you don't want Itch to take care of that, you can always take care of it yourself and that's why I left the link above.
