PC, Transaction Charges, Data Request Charges etc. are applied across all accounts. The commission discount isn't?

Unless you have sub accounts.

Can anyone explain this?

It's very very frustrating. My a/c is not of sufficient magnitude to be allowed a master / sub accounts. Makes it difficult to run different strategies on different accounts that are all included in the same bundle for charging and not commission.

I've started testing with automated placing and modifying of bets. I don't want to do this on my main account as it would have access to a much larger balance, and the scope for things to go wrong would increase.

We must be the only small fish on here without master and sub account, The Investor!

I know a few people who won't play betfair poker because they can't have seperate wallets ( or sub accounts ) to keep a seperate poker bankroll from thier sports betting bankroll.

Not sure why betfair are failing to meet a customer need/requirement in this area. The cost to implement would be fairly minimal and its losing them lots of rake not having it.

who knows what goes thru the corporate mind of a billion pound company.
Someone in the company has decided they don't need the extra poker players/rake and or they can't be a4sed to do what it would take to get them.
But someone else in the company has decided, "lets spend ££££millions on advertising to get some extra poker players".

2+2=5 anybody ?

people would abuse it by teaming up with mates on low commission

That's a fair point, Stow. It's fair to imagine though that Betfair would soon weed out abusers of the service if accounts were being accessed from different isp's etc. I certainly wouldn't risk exclusion from Betfair by abusing the system. In theory there is nothing to stop it being abused in the current form of master / sub accounts for those currently enjoying the priveledge.
