Nope, you don't have to pay them anything.....

seriously, i never used one either - how do they make money? lol i just figured you pay them!

I think they incorporate their fee into the package. Maybe the place they book for you, i.e. Sandals, pays them a commission...

Yeah, that's what I've gathered.....I didn't pay my TA a dime, and for all the work she's done for me, if I could afford to pay her extra, I would.!!!!!

i have NEVER booked with a travel agent before always did planning on my own ...i think we are going with one....we dont have to pay them anything right?

No you dont have to pay travel agents...they are usually paid on commission from their company.

Edited: FYI...Liberty Travel has a deal...lets say you find this great deal on Expedia, you can print out all of the details, pricing, tax, fees, all charges, etc, and bring it to them....as long as they can book the same flight and hotel for the same date range, they will match the price. That's what we did for spring break in college and then we bought the liberty travel membership thing and that got us a room upgrade too!

No questions are stupid

i am thinking about getting a travel agent for my italy trip...not sure though
