...You can only set a purchase order for items actually on sale. I mean, if you dock your ship and open the market tab, you can set a purchase order for ANYTHING that exists on the market, even if said item is not currently being sold anywhere in your region. But if you want to put a purchase order of that item in a station 10 jumps away, you will need Procurement lvl3 AND THE ITEM HAS TO BE BEING SOLD AT SAID STATION...

You can place a remote buy order within the same solar system in any station, if you are undocked. I have no idea how you can place one in another system when it is not sold there. That's quite strange. Actually it should be possible somehow.
Fortunately this has changed (since Revelations? I don't know...). The Procurement skill now has the flexibility everyone expects and it is no more necessary that the item has to be sold at the remote station where you'd like to setup the remote buy order.
How to do this?
1) Open the market browser and select the item you want to setup a remote buy order for. For example simply via search function in the market browser. It doesnt' matter if this item has any sell or buy order in the current region at all.
2) Click on the "Place buy order" button on the right side of the market browser. If you are docked the buy order dialogue shows the current station in the upper area of the window by default.
3) Click on that station name in the buy order window. A small context menue opens with an option "Select station" (or "Change station", I'm not sure). Now you can enter the name of a solar system and a browser window opens with all stations of that system. Select your requested station. Finished.
Of course you need the required level of the Procurement skill for the remote buy order to be accepted (for example level 3 for a station 10 jumps away from your current location).

To the best of my knowledge, the things you cannot buy/sell throught the market (thus are "unreachable" by trading skills, of course) are:
-"Rare" named modules (gistii, dark blood...)
You actually CAN.
I once bought a succubus via escrow and I right-clicked on the suc and then clicked "Buy this item" and there were actually a few for sale on the market in that system.
Bear in mind that you must already HAVE one of the item you want to buy to be able to use the "buy this item" feature and that hardly anyone would ever use it, but it IS possible :)
To extend this even further, once you have an item you can save it in your market quickbar and as long as it remains there, access the hidden market.
1) Acquire something somewhat rare
2) Check on the but this item to see if there a hidden market
3) Save in market quicckbar
4) Sell item for crazy profit
5) Go to market quick bar and still have access to this market
What? How does this work exactly? For example: I have a Dark Blood module in my (personal) hangar; if I right-click on the item the context menu doesn't offer me a "buy this type" or "sell this item" menu item (in contrast to "normal" T1, T2 or named items). So where is this "hidden market"?

It doesn't work any more. This "hidden market" feature was removed in the Revelations patch (build 27912) back in November.
Ahaaa... I suspected something like that. Thanks for the info!
