German term or phrase: Provisionszahlung
Text about placing advertisements in a publication and the general terms and conditions associated with it, i think this is relating to commission to be paid to advertising agencies?? or am i wrong "Voraussetzung für eine Provisionszahlung an Werbungsmittler ist,
daß der Auftrag unmittelbar vom Werbungsmittler erteilt wird und
Text- bzw. Druckunterlagen auch von ihm geliefert werden."

(payment of the) agency fee


Explanation:
I think it's called an "agency fee," but it might also be a "brokerage fee" if it refers to payment to somebody who simply arranges the placement of the ad. See the links.

As well:

The value includes purchases of media time and space, the traditional 15 percent agency fee on purchases, and expenses.
http://www.lvrj.com/lvrj_home/1999/Mar-08-Mon-1999/business/... - seventh paragraph.

D. Agency fee of 15% on gross billing to advertising agency of record only. Agency fee is applicable on space, color, and position only. The agency fee is not available on production or bindery charges.
