There is whole cottage industry of journals that will publish basically anything in exchange for a submission fee, being kept alive by desperate PhD students who need a couple of more papers published so they can just get their degree and get out of there.

When it happened to me it was a "reputable" high-impact neuroscience journal, not Cross-stitch Monthly.

Was it for open access? Lots of journals charge a fee if you want to make your paper generally available.

Yes, but they charge after acceptance, not before.
