on commission Explanation: It sounds like the sales arrangement here might be 'on commission' — even though this would not normally be the correct way of expressing that in FR! Is there any doubt as to the provenance or quality of the FR in this source text? |

Reference: to complete the transaction or upon instruction? Reference information: Two different suggestions but I think that it relates to "faire la commission"....years ago I used to have a very old guy come to the door in Toulouse who was a rent collector and he also used to say "je fais la commission" (or rather la commissionG in Toulouse hee hee) and I always understood it to mean that he would complete the "job" - pass on the money etc). Here are some examples of the meaning Faire la commission Mandat, charge que l'on donne à quelqu'un de faire quelque chose. Donner commission à quelqu'un de faire quelque chose, lui donner une commission, le charger de quelque commission. Exécuter, remplir une commission. S'acquitter de sa commission. Outrepasser sa commission. Il a reçu commission d'aller en tel lieu.https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/commission |
