vendor fees
Merchant transaction costs
Vendor fees are charges paid by sellers for the privilege of doing business in a particular venue or marketplace.
At craft fairs, farmers markets, and trade shows, vendors typically pay fees to secure booth space.
Online platforms charge vendor fees as commissions or listing costs: The vendor fees on that marketplace eat into my profits.
The term distinguishes seller-side costs from buyer-side charges.
