I am currently on a trial accounts. Can i trade money to another account not currently active?

See i used to play before but im not sure if i wanna start again, so i made a trial account to try it out again.
So if i make some ISK and decide to start playing on my main again then i wanna transfer the money to him before starting to play.

So back to my question, can i transfer ISK from a trial account to a not currently active paid character?

Secerbus.

yup.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

You cannot transfer money from trial accounts. And in eve, trading is more linked tote market screen than transferring money around.

this.

The only (imo) ways to transfer money or stuff from a trail account are:
1. in-station trading or
2. creating sell orders for a ridiculous amount in a station where the item involved isn't sold at all by others (because the market system gives you the cheapest one nevertheless) or
3. Putting the stuff in a corporation hangar if both your characters are in the same corp.

If you have friends in-game, best way to do it is to give them the stuff you want to transfer and pick it up after re-activation.

You can trade when you're both at same station, and you also have to have them in your inventory items at that station.

You could also place a sell order from your other character, and have your current character 'buy' the item.

This only works if there is no other sell order for that item in same location. Otherwise you will lose your ISK.

Example where this does not work:
Your CharA makes sell order at 10 mil ISK for some item (and there is also other sell order at 1 mil ISK)
Your CharB right-clicks the 10 mil sell order on market and buys it. BUT because you allways buy from best order, you actually buy from that 1 mil ISK sell order which is not yours and pay 10 mil ISK for it. So you lose the 10 mil ISK.

note that "same location" means "within the region", as IIRC you pay the person with the best regional price no matter what.

in-station trading isn't possible on the same PC, as you cannot have a single trial account logged in (it won't let you log in a trial and a full account)... though this MIGHT be possible to circumvent with two separate installation locations...

No, it means same station. You can select which station you want to buy from, but not which order on that station.
