EVE General Discussion

You must be referring to the broker fees. I don't really pay attention to when fees/taxes are levied so this may be wrong but... if you REALLY want to avoid broker fees, I think you can sell it directly to someone with a buy order. You'll get less money for it because buy orders are always cheaper than sell orders, but you'll sell it right away and you won't pay a broker fee.

Don't try to trade it in a trade window. Just bite the bullet and sell it instantly to a buy order. Use a third-party trade tool like evecentral (filter results to show reported one hour or less before) to at least find where you'll get the best price.

What does the 50m out of 1.15b ISK is making you miss?



Why is 1.145b ISK not enough for what you need?

You can also sell it via private contract, as this only costs 10,000 ISK. Be aware that you might have to advertise this in the local channel of your trade hub of choice, where everything is a scam until proven otherwise (and then we assume it's just a really good scam). I would strongly discourage moving the PLEX once you've redeemed it, as that's a great way to lose a PLEX if you don't know what you're doing.

That's why I didn't recommend it. He posted on the forum that he's selling PLEX. I'm not going to tell him to leave his trade hub with his PLEX (and his entire worth) in cargo for some jerk to turn him off of the game at the undock.

Hello and welcome back to Eve.

Those looking to buy from sell orders look at the lowest price available and those looking to sell to buy orders look at the highest price available. The price difference between the two for PLEX is negligible, especially when looking to do a quick transaction.

I suggest selling it to the highest buy order available, then you won't have to worry about paying Broker Fees or having to constantly watch the Market and readjust the price due to competition doing the .01 ISK mark down game.

Besides that, if you had the ISK to cover the Broker Fee and placed the PLEX in a sell order you'd end up wasting time waiting for it to sell. I think you're actually looking to sell it asap for the highest price available so you can finance building your dream ship and start playing the game the way you want to play.

Basically don't waste time placing it on a sell order in the Market, just sell it to the highest buy order available, build your ship and start playing the game asap.

EDIT :

Since you've already redeemed the PLEX, you might have to move it to a location that's offering the best buy price. Before doing that make sure you set up Insta-Undock spot and use a ship that's got a good defensive tank on it. Set destination before undocking, warp to Insta-Undock spot right after screen session change and don't use Autopilot, do manual piloting using Warp to 0km / Jump commands until you reach that destination.

Good luck and may you have much success.

Don't fly around with a plex in your cargo! I figured you already knew that as you said you had played EvE before. In case you didn't know that - don't do that! Go to the place you want to sell your plex before redeeming it out of your redeem items que and into the game. If you've already redeemed it into the game at a station not a trade hub, your options are probably going to be sell it for a lower price via contract. o7

There are jusually quite a few around the trade hubs. Just keep your eyes open.

Orders with duration of "immediate" have no broker fee.

Accounting reduces transaction taxes. Broker Relations reduces broker fees, as does positive standing with the NPC faction and NPC corporation that owns the station.

Player structures can have taxes set by the owners.

Hi all,

First off, this is best community ever. Seriously you guys, thanks very much for all the advice!
I did luckily redeem in Jita. I did try and sell it to the highest buy order on the market, but it didn't work it kept saying I needed to pay the broker fee of 33mil. So, I ended up having to sell my only ship (Drake) to get the broker fee in order to sell the Plex. I was however incredibly stupid and greedy. I tried to maximize my return so, I priced my plex 11mil below the areas lowest priced plex. When I did this not a minute later somone pushed 6 plex's under my price, so I'm crossing my fingers now that when I get home
I was still able to sell it. As others have mentioned I was too worried to move it to a citadel. I actually didn't even know they existed. I should have listened to you guys and just took the best buy order. Big lesson learned here. I just hope I didn't blow my chance to sell it. Just wanted to pass on the update and give mad props to everyone on this thread for all the help!

Cheers!
