The new commission algorithm seems pretty legit, but I'm unclear about the "p" value in DPR's equation:
CommissionRate(%) = (6.7 x e^(-p/6) + 4) Source: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=182525.msg1324593#msg1324593
There are many listings (especially for pills) that are a flat rate per item, and the customer has the option to order exactly how many they want...they could order anything from 1 to 100 units for a flat shipping cost.
"p" could be the LISTING price (say 0.1 btc) or the ORDER price (100 * 0.1 btc). Ordering 100 units (at 0.1 btc each) is still one transaction, but the commission rate could be significantly different...
LISTING commission rate = 9.671% => Final price = 10 btc + 0.967 btc
ORDER commission rate = 5.265% => Final Price = 10 btc + 0.527 btc
The difference works out to ~$50 USD. Any chance someone could help me out? This will definitely effect how I list/market products, and I bet others are wondering the same thing.
Thanks in advance,

My prediction:
If the commission % is based off of the listing price, then sellers will create cheap listings of a single pill to advertise the "real" bulk listings. People sort by price when buying pills.

The commission is based on the total order price.
