I think I already know the answer to this question... But maybe I'm misunderstanding things.
Suppose I'm sitting in station A with a pile of ore. The prices in station B are much better, and I'd like to sell my ore there. Is there any skill I can train that will allow me to sell my ore at station B without having to actually haul it there myself?
The Marketing skill seems to allow remote sell orders, but it doesn't indicate where the goods have to be. And I'm assuming the goods need to be on the station you're selling them at, correct?

No you have to haul the ore to that station to sell it. or...
If it is a good BUY order look at the range as some orders are for the whole region.
So say you are at station A and there is a good buy order at station B but station B is 3 jumps away. If the Range of the buy order is 3 jumps or higher you can sell the them and they will have to come and get the ore from Station A.

No, there's no skill that'll magically transport your goods to another station without you having to haul it yourself:)

Correct; the goods always have to be located at the same place you're selling them.

You could set up a courier contract for somebody else to haul it for you. Just remember to set a reasonable amount for collateral and reward and it should get moved.

Bear in mind that you may not have to haul your ore all the way to station B. Buy orders have a range, which is the distance from the station that the owner is still willing to buy at. If the buy order has a range of "Station" (as is quite likely with ore) then yes, you'll need to have that ore in the station itself to sell to the order.
However, if the order has a range of "3 jumps", say, and you're a couple of jumps from the station the order was placed at, then the order should appear green to you, and you will be able to sell to it from your current location. If you're 4 jumps away, then you still won't be able to fulfil the order and it won't appear green - but you need only haul your ore to a station 1 jump closer in order to sell it, rather than hauling it all 4 jumps to where the order was placed.
Now in this instance I expect the order probably will only have "Station" range (since no-one enjoys hauling ore) but it is worth bearing in mind, if not strictly now then later.
Of course, unless you need the money instantly, you can always set up your own sell order where the ore is right now. The success of this and how quickly it sells will depend greatly on how desirable ore is at your specific station. If the sell orders are good (and more numerous) a few jumps away, you'll probably do better taking your ore there in general.
