Lending Fee

There may or may not be a lending fee. Sometimes it's high, very often it's zero.

you don't pay margin interest on the short credit. It makes sense that you should receive interest on the proceeds of the short but it rarely happens.

fwiw, long vs short positions provide a high margin release ...typically 95%

finally shorting low priced stocks is of course allowed at major firms. But they are subject to minimum margin requirements
