a single vocabulary item as synonym for hidden fees
There is a word I remember seeing some time ago, but unfortunately I have now forgotten.
The definition was like this:
to pay an amount which is more than expected, similar to hidden fees.
I think it was a verb or noun. For example, you buy something but there are hidden fees and you have to pay extra.
Please help me out.

You may be thinking of "surcharge" - which is commonly used to rip folks off while sounding professional - and somehow justified.
