Trading follows the old age adage of buying low and selling high. It is not strictly limited to buying low, but also procuring something at a low price and selling it at a higher price.
Direct Trading
You can directly trade with players in stations. Although to do so you are reqired to have bought an Omega Clone.
MarketPlace
There is also a very fleshed out marketplace system in the game, where one can buy and sell products in stations.
Alpha clones have to fly to a trading hub to be able to buy and sell their goods, while omega clones can trade from any station.
Buy Orders
To place a buy order you have to open the Trade menu, search the Item you want to buy and choose from which location at which price you want to buy. You can then choose how that item gets to you. Either by shipping, for which you have to pay an amount of ISK, or by flying there yourself and picking it up.
Sell Orders
To place a sell order you have to open your inventory. The item(s) in question need to be in the Item Hangar of the Station. Then you click on the item and on sell, choose the amount to sell and at which price per item you want to sell. It’s always a good idea to look at which prices your item is sold and sell it at a reasonable price. The money, minus a broker fee, will be transfered to your account as soon as the goods are sold.
