Is there a difference between acting as an intermediary between a seller and a buyer for a fee, and intercession for a fee?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between the intermediary service a person performs for a fee to facilitate an agreement between a seller and a buyer, and intercession for which a fee is taken? Intercession is an act of worship and a means of drawing near to Allah. One does not take a fee for drawing near to Allah, nor even a gift. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade one who intercedes for his brother from taking a gift for it.

Answer:
Because it is a means of drawing near to Allah. As for buying and selling, that is a transaction, and it is permissible to take a fee for acting as an intermediary. Yes.
