I'm frustrated. I have retail and trade skills to 5 and all other trade skills to lev 3/4 except visibility. When I buy something at the station I am docked at and then try to sell it, I only seem to get offered a region buy offer...usually the lowest price, despite seeing a much better price advertised in a station just 3 jumps away on the market screen. I though the point of all these remote trade skills was to let you play the market?
Can anyone help me out?
Many thansk
Taanu.

You sell things only where they actually are. They can't change their location by beeing sold - beaming is not invented in EVE ;-).
The meaning of the Marketing skill is, that you can sell items, which are in another location than yourself. But the item is sold where it is - not where you are.

The problem is the buy order, not your skills. If the other guy would set it to 5 jumps or region, you could match it, but if he sets it to station and just wants to buy the item there, it's like Byronor said.

Thanks for the response guys. The situation was though that there was a buy order in another staion for the item I was selling which was set-up within the same solar system . So surely someone who set up a buy order in the same SS would have been able to buy the product I was selling instead of the usual 0.01 isk (region buy) that I was offered?

Nope, not if the buy order had station range.

I have been having the same problem... and it is with almost every item in the catalog...someone is, to my mind, poisoning the market by putting buy orders out for .01 isk for almost every item in the catalog...
What is the point of that? And if this is normal I am not understanding what the purpose of marketing is. Can someone take the time to give me an example of why it makes sense to spend the 3.5 million on this skill and the time it takes to train it up.

You are on station A. You see nice item on station B which is 15 jumps away. You buy item on station B. Without Marketing, you have to jump to your ship and go to station B to sell that item. With Marketing, you can place sell order without leaving station A.
Marketing = skill for creating REMOTE sell orders
Procurement = skill for creating REMOTE buy orders (limited to station without Visiblity)
Day Trading = skill for REMOTE modifying of sell/buy orders
Visibility = skill for increasing radius of REMOTE buy orders

You Sell to the highest bid within range. So yes, a bid with range set to your Solar System should take precedence over a lower Region bid.
Was the higher bid for a larger minimum quantity than you were offering? Say the bidder had set 1000 minimum but you were trying to sell 500?

ok, seriously, this has me pulling my hair out with confusion.
WHY would i BE in "A", BUY in "B", and then SELL in "B"?
The way this post is worded, that's the way it sounds.
Isn't the point of trading to BUY in "A", then SELL in "B"?
Therefore, shouldn't the skill work like, BE in "A", BUY in "B", then SELL in "C"?

You are right, the skill let's you be in "A", buy in "B" and then sell in "B".
There are two scenarios where I think this could be useful:
1. Be in "A", buy in "B", create a courier mission to get merchandise to "C" and then sell in "C".
2. Stockpile a bunch of material in "B" and fulfill buy orders as they become available in "B" while you are in "A". Although I think in this case you could just setup a sell order so I don't see why this is useful. But if for some reason you wanted to manually sell material into a buy order remotely (as opposed to setting up a sell order) than you could.

For "sell in station B" read "place a sell order in station B". You don't sell it immediately, you wait for someone to come to the station and buy it.

Things in EVE cant magically fly between stations. If you buy it in B, it will be in B until you personally move it, or hire someone to move it (courier). Examples for Marketing skill usage are posted above.

Lol....thats what I do on a regular basis, besides my regular sales.
As soon as I see a noob priced sell order for anything thats below my region average, be it frigs, cruisers, BC, BS and any mods, I immediately buy it from station 'A' and put it back for a higher price at the same station.
I have made billions off of uninformed people
In the process I regulate the region average price for those items.
Remember, you must have billions to do so and only do it with expensive items (harder to build and time consuming) so by the time they put more of them at a lower price you already sold them for your asking price.
Works all the time for me and it ****es off the competition
