EVE Online | Academy - Trading for Profit

Welcome to the Academy, Capsuleers. This beginner tutorial will explain the basics of EVE Online’s player economy and how you can get started to turn a tidy profit. Start playing EVE for free at Accessing the market to buy or sell items is very simple. The regional market can be opened straight from your Neocom where sell orders are displayed above buy orders alongside graphs of price history, quantity, and trading volume per day. Sell orders are other Capsuleers offering to sell their items for ISK and buy orders serve as the opposite - pilots putting down ISK in advance if you have the right item to sell to them. Most trading activity takes place in and around the market hub known as Jita 4-4, though other, smaller trade hubs do exist in popular PvE or PvP locations. If you’re savvy enough to spot a deal then it’s very possible to turn a profit by hauling goods or simply buying low and selling high.
