very low
Nominal in this case means a very low fee, maybe just to cover administration costs. It is a fee in name only.

low / inexpensive
Nominal fee = a fee that does not reflect the true value of the subject it is attached to.
It means the amount you pay is cheap when you consider the overall value of being a member.

I think because you didn't wait 24 hours before closing the question, the KudoZ points and most helpful answer are decided by the answer with the most "agrees". Nevermind though, the fact you chose my answer is enough for me :D. Happy translating!
