You should be buying either any brand of ETFs or Charles Schwab specific brand of mutual funds.

Schwab's SP500 fund is SWPPX.

Personally, I use total market funds, but that's besides the point.

As you've discovered... Costs you $75 each time you buy it.

You can possibly get the commission waived one time if you contact customer service.

You should take another look at the transactions screens too, somewhere along the way when you were buying the fund it definitely told you there was a fee, but you must've missed it. So figure out where that information is so you can look for it next time.

Nothing if you switch to another brokerage that doesn't compete with Vanguard and charge fees to discourage you to buy them.
