What is the ruling on online commission-based marketing through websites that display products not for direct sale, with the possibility of increasing the commission without the buyer's knowledge? And what is the ruling on promoting these products using the website's information (pictures, description, and video)? And does the ruling change if the products are of low quality or do not meet the customer's expectations?

Online marketing for permissible goods is permissible, and it is not a condition for the buyer to know about the commission. Promoting permissible products based on available information is permissible, unless it is known that the information is incorrect and involves deception of the buyer, in which case it is not permissible to promote them.
