trade commissions

Business oversight bodies

Trade commissions are fees paid to intermediaries—brokers, agents, or salespeople—for facilitating transactions.

In financial markets, a trade commission is what you pay a broker to execute a buy or sell order: The online broker charges $7 per trade commission.

In commerce, sales agents often work on commission, earning a percentage of each sale they close.
