So after finishing my 2 weeks trial I got a subscription but decided to start the game with a new character and from a different faction...so I'm wondering if I can transfer all my old character's money and ships and items to my new character ? because I want to delete my old character.

Money can be transferred over when logged in to the old character by searching for the new character in People & Places, ensuring you've got the right character, and then either right-clicking the character name and selecting "Give ISK to character" or possibly clicking a button on the new character's profile page.

Items are probably best transferred over using a private contract between the two characters (assuming they're on the same account). Bear in mind, though, that there is a 10,000 ISK charge for such contracts, so don't transfer over your ISK until your item transfer is complete.

Thanks
So how do I open a private contract between my characters ?

Go to your inventory and select all the items you want to transfer over, then right-click one of them and select "Create Contract". You'll want a private contract, to your new character name; in a subsequent step of the process, you'll also be able to select any ships you want to pass over.

Be very careful with the contract - check, double check and triple check it before confirming. You don't want to accidentally post your stuff as a public, free contract, or give it to someone with a similar name.

Then, play around with the contract interface. There's a lot of ways to screw other players over with contracts, but you have to understand the system better than they do.

Simple way is on your old account, sell everything, then if your old account is subbed right click your new account and 'give money' put everything in if it says u dont have enough when u have entered in the exact amount, its because it rounds it up somtimes so just take of the X digit in say an amount of 314159265.3X and it should work.
