The answer

It is forbidden to take the remaining amount of money, and it must be returned to its owner. It is not permissible to interpret it as a fee or profit, for the agent is a trustee and is not allowed to take anything without the principal's permission. Agency for a fee requires an agreement on a known fee, and a sale is only valid for what the seller owns and with mutual consent.
