I'm sorry to ask again, but I've done an eve-search and I've read the marketing thread here on the skills forum but still don't get it. What's the difference between visibility and procurement? Also, why do they say not to max out visibility, still don't really get it.

Ok, here is the deal. Procurement allows you to start buy orders in a station that already has a buy order for the thing you want. If you want to buy Zyd 5jumps away at your manufacturing station, there must already be someone else buying Zyd at that station to start a buy order. Visibility allows you to set that radius most people don't like to set. That is, it allows you to ask for in system, 5 jumps away, regional, etc. but seeing how most people won't set buy orders for more than 10 jumps out, its really a waste for it to be at lv 5 (regional).

ooooooooooo so if I have visiblity all over the place, then I would have to spend my day picking stuff up all over the region. So if I keep it to say 5 jumps, I drastically lower the amount of traveling I have to do to pick up my orders. Please tell me I finally got it hahahhahaa.

Yes, the other thing alot of people do is give a limit, like no less than 10k units in a single sale.

What good is setting a buy order with range "entire region" on a different station in the same region then the one you're in? Both will have range "region" so there's no difference! THATS why you shouldnt train to lvl5 :)

Quote:
Skill at promoting your product effectively. Each level
increases a remote sell order's radius of effect from origin.
Level 1 allows for range within same solar system, Level 2
extends that range to systems within 5 jumps, and each
subsequent level then doubles it. Level 5 allows for a full
regional range.
That's the description of the Visibility skill.
From that, what it says to me is, if you have no visibility skill then when you place a sell order at a station. Then only players who are docked at that station will be able to see your sell order and buy your goods.
At with Visibility at level 1, then that means players docked in the same solar system as where your sell order is placed will be able to see and buy from your sell order.
And so on.
Visibility increases the distance from where your sell order is placed that allow a player to buy from your sell order.
Real world example.
A company advertizing their product on the television would have high visibility skill.
As opposed to someone advertizing their product in the shop window of the local newsagents would have a local visibility skill.

So visibility is redundant. Is there any use for visibility at all then?

No, visibility is anything but redundant if im understanding the skill correctly.
It means more people can see what your trying to sell. If more people can see what your selling then the likely hood that someone is going to buy your goods increase.
Your selling at just your station, only people at that station can see it and if they want, buy it.
You train Visibility to Level one, then all players docked in stations in the same solar system can see what your selling and if they want to buy it.
If theres two other stations in the solar system then by training Visibility to level one you've just tripled the amount of people that can see the goods your selling by remote sell order.
And so on, each time you train visibility to a higher rank you increase, exponentially, the amount of people that can see your remote sell order.
