Does selling system by system still work better than full page? Also, is the limit on bgs effect still 8mil?

Selling one by one or by page now has the same effect (the same as if you sold them one by one).
There has never been a value limit on exp data. It goes by number of transactions.
A single transaction is defined how, please? If I have 100 systems of data, so ~5 pages, and download all to a single station cartographer is that counted as a single transaction or 100?
If I sold just one system's data, flew out of the station and returned shortly, and sold a second system's data, and so on, is that a single transaction or 100?
If I sold just one system's data, flew out of the station to a second station in the same system and controlled by the same MF, and sold a further system's data, and played 'ping pong' between stations like that until all data sold is that a single transaction or two (for selling in two stations?) or 50, or 100?
What if I split the 100 systems' data up over say 100 stations.
Does it come down to the number of systems' scanned? And if instead of scanning all 100 I scanned say in blocks of 10, and sold each block of 10 in one go, have I gone from one transaction to ten? If the latter is true, then ultimately, could I have achieve 100 transactions by after each system scan, returning to my chosen station/MF and selling a single system's data at a time? And, if that's true, how would it differ from simply scanning all 100 first, then selling one at a time, perhaps logging out to start menu or to desktop between each sale?
A lot of questions, I know, but that's the peril of surfing the forum while waiting for today's upgrade to download!
A single transaction is a system sold. It doesn't matter if you fly out and back in. A full page is 50 systems, so 50 transactions. If you only have 9 systems in a page, it's 9 transactions.
It's believed that there is a minimum value per system, but I don't know what that is. Jane might have more information on that.
I'm not sure what you're asking in the other questions, but it's pretty straightforward.
Many thanks for the confirmation. The other questions were to see if this was more complex than it appears to be, or if exploration data ran similar to how I understand combat bonds to work. With bonds, so I'd done 100 kills in a CZ, if I cash those in it's a single transaction. Whereas if I kill in batches of 10 and cash in bonds 10 at a time, I'll end up with 10 transactions. Or, in extremis, if I cash in a bond after each single kill, I'll create 100 transactions. Whereas, what you say with exploration data is, it's the same outcome whether I cash in 100 systems data in one go, or cash them in one at a time; both will tally to 100 transactions for BGS / INF purposes.
