Just curious how much the vendors make from the sales. It must be sufficient to keep them coming back.

I bet it's different with every vendor - like it is with food companies in a supermarket.

I don't have an "in" with any vendor, so I couldn't tell you.

Years ago I knew someone that wanted to sell a food item at Q. First, they have to have a lot of product in stock, and I believe it was 50% of the profits went to Q. It was fairly high. And if all the product didn't sell too bad. He didn't pursue it.

At the bottom of every page, below the social media buttons you can find the topic "work with QVC - Become a Vendor". It states that the vendor sets the wholesale price, QVC requires a minimum quantity to purchase - so vendors don't receive a %, they sell wholesale to QVC, then QVC sets the retail price.

I remember Fenton sold to them on a guaranteed sale basis, meaning they took back unsold merchandise. That is the only line of which I have firsthand knowledge.

ITA - done by contract
And probably way more complicated than most of us realize.
