I didn't know there were markets that charged a percentage of sales. I have no idea how they keep people from cheating.

We have a new upstart market in town, and they just charge a flat fee, but other vendors who have been there said the market manager wants to move to a percentage fee. A lot of vendors are very offended by that concept. It punishes success. Vendors who do a lot of business draw customers to the market, and that helps everyone.
