Extended data:
An agent, also known as a business agent, is the general agent who accepts the entrustment of others to facilitate or reach a transaction for others within the scope of its industry management. It is a kind of business behavior for manufacturers to give merchants a commission to take care of business on behalf of enterprises. The ownership of the goods represented belongs to the manufacturer, not to the merchant. Because merchants do not sell their own products, but sell them on behalf of enterprises. Therefore, "agents" generally refer to commercial units that earn commissions from enterprises.
Authorization to the agent: the principal and the agent sign an agency agreement, authorizing the agent to buy and sell goods or handle related affairs (such as signing contracts and other transactions) to the third party on their behalf within a certain scope. The rights and obligations arising from the agent's behavior within the scope of the principal's authorization have direct effect on the principal, that is, the agent acts in the name of the principal within the scope of authorization.
The agent and the principal belong to the entrustment relationship, not the buying and selling relationship. In the agency business, agents only solicit customers, solicit orders, sign contracts, handle the consignor's goods and collect payment for goods. And earn a commission from it. Agents do not need to use their own funds to purchase goods, nor are they responsible for profits and losses.
