It can be helpfull offcourse but not something you need to focus on. It depends on what and how you trade.
If you trade a large volume of low margin items then cutting out fees will make a big difference.
If you trade high margin items then not so much.
There are styles of trading that are only viable with minimal fees, just like there are styles of trading that are only viable if you are prepared to camp your orders and 0.01 constantly. You do not have to adopt those styles of trading if you do not want to. |

I don't bother with low traded items unless there isn't alot of competition. The profit may be there but that's if you can manage to buy/sell them. Yes, it's a case of horses for courses.
I may be well suited to selling high ticket items, person-to-person, using interpersonal skills, extensive knowledge of my product and well received after-sales service. I have little involvement with the market interface, do most of my deals over voice comms and focus a great deal on customer satisfaction and repeat business over first contact profit.
You may be well suited to flipping fast moving items in a busy station using brute force 0.01 with only the slightest contact with your customer.
There are many, many different approaches to trade in EVE that are successfull in the right hands. As a player interested in making money through some kind of trade you need to spend some time finding the approach that suits your personal talents and avoids exposing your weaknesses.
