Trying to understand what you mean by disproportionate here. Are the majority of transactions well under $10?

Let's work from the inside out. "Portion", that's a part of something, pro- portion means by, as, of, toward. The -ate make it an adjective, the dis- reverses the meaning.
So it is not based on a portion of the fee (a percentage of it). Disproportionate.
This is bad because it systematically penalizes small transactions, which a proportionate fee does not do.
