Why is it masculine?

Vendeur is masculine because it derives from the Latin "venditor" (masculine), which comes from the verb "vendere" (to sell), and French maintained the masculine gender of the agent noun suffix "-eur" that evolved from the Latin "-tor/-tor" ending. This gender assignment reflects the historical linguistic evolution from Latin rather than any semantic rule about the profession itself.
