Hey, I am going into hauling by buyin things, shipping then selling for a profit.
However it would be helpful if I could buy and sell things remotely.
Is there a way to be in a system in the forge. Buy something from jita and immediately sell it to another system. Without having to move it to where the buy order I want to fulfill is?
I know that the market skills let you sell things remotely but I understand you can only sell things from the station they are located in.
Please help.

Can't do it.

The remote selling/buying skills are just for creating and adjusting orders at a distance. You want to sell to a non-ranged order, or create an order in a different station, you have to move the goods.

Woo! CSM XI!

You could use player hauling companies (like Red Frog or Push Industries) to do the moving so you can just sit on station - but items don't move by themselves.

Of course they will take some time to move your items, so you cant resell it immediately.

As stated above, items don't magically move from one station to another in New Eden, though with a good courier service, it can seem a bit supernatural when a lot of stuff gets shifted quickly.

For an overview of the trading skills for remote orders, see: http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/Thoraemond/eve-trading-skills-for-remote-orders-20101217.png.

Started there myself, eventually I came to Inter regional trading, I.E. buy several billion ISK of goods in Jita and haul it around different regions and place sell orders where my calculations would show a nice fat profit and actual sales.

You arent going to make much heading down this road, bin there done that.

The only real use I've found for remote skills is tweaking your buy/sell orders in the local trade hub while doing stuff elsewhere in the region.

That said, traders can generally do without them. A dedicated station trader is going to be permanently camped in the local trade hub anyway and thus will only buy and sell there.

A hauler/trader will end up visiting the trade hub frequently enough to pickup/drop off goods that they can make new orders while there.

What I do find odd is the fact that being able to place a wider area for your local buy orders isn't tied to a skill.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

At one point in time I was managing orders in three stations in the same 0.0 region. Being able to update orders without having to go through a dozen potentially hostile systems twice a day is really useful.

With the right skills you can buy and sell any item you have in a station in the same region as your character. However you cannot magically move one item from one station to another one player at some point must do that for you.
You can do it. You can set up courier contracts for other players. Or you could pay a fright corporation to haul for you, this is the most expensive but fastest items to move your items from one place to another without you actually doing it. Courier contracts can also be very unreliable at times so make sure you set the collateral high enough but not to high.
