I have 2 characters. Both are members of the same corp, both have superb standing with Caldary Navy. One of them trained broker relations to lvl 5, the other trained it to lvl 3. Now comes the interesting part. The character that has lower broker relations skill is charged 0.2% broker fee when setting up buy orders at Caldary Navy stations while the character with higher broker relations skill is charged 0.4%. Maybe the skill is broken. Maybe there are other factors besides broker relations skill and players standing towards the owner of the station. Maybe standing towards Caldary State is also taken into consideration.

Faction standing and corp standing affects broker fees.
Broker Relation skill reduction is apparently applied after the standing effects.

So here is the problem. Both characters have same corp and personal standing with Caldary Navy. So either one of the characters is broken or there are other factors which I do not aware of - for example standing towards Caldary State (not Caldary Navy who is the owner of the station)

Does one of them have any Social skills, like Connections? Effecitve standing is used to calculate broker-fee percentage, IIRC. I searched for the exact formula and couldn't find it. Does anyone have the exact formula, or is it a mystery?

Read my post again please. Faction and corp standing is used to determine broker fees. Personal standing is to the agent and has no effect on this.
Therefore, check your Caldari Navy and Caldari State standings of the two characters, then compared levels of Broker Relations.
Qevan: you may want to check this thread for a possible formula for broker fees. I've been gathering data regarding this as well and it does seem odd.

Well if standing towards Caldary State is taken into account this explains it. I thought since Caldary State was not the owner of the station standing towards them was not important. There is no mentioning of the state issues in broker relations skill description - they only mention owner of the station. Thanks for your explanations

Read that thread linked above, I've updated it with my latest findings as well as a preliminary formula. It is by no means 100% accurate tho it is fairly close in most cases.
The faction standing is the primary factor in broker fees. Corp standing is worth half as much or less than faction standing. Then after both those are calculated you calculate the Broker Relations skill, meaning it has very little impact if you have very high standing.
