EVE New Citizens Q&A

You can reduce tax on sale, but did"t reduce it to zero. And 7m ISK is a 1% of 770kk ISK.

As our friendly ISD said, you will always have to pay sales tax / brokers fee (can't remember which on applies to selling and which also is included in buy orders).

So the only way you should be able to get the ISK from selling a PLEX is from first gaining enough ISK for the taxes, which isn't a problem if you do the entire NPE. After you complete the career agents + SoE arc you should be having close to 15mil ISK in your wallet (depending on how much you spent on ships and ammo).



Also, keep in mind even though you have lots of ISK (700mil is A LOT for a new player, you really don't need that much ISK), don't spent it on stuff you don't need.

Bigger and/or more expensive doesn't always equal better in EVE.
Fly what you can afford to lose, this means that not only you should have the ISK to replace it but also the income to sustain continues losses (or be okay with the fact that something you can't replace can be lost too).

Skills for reduse market tax: Accounting and Broker Relations

I'm looking at some sales I made over night, and it looks like sales tax was taken out after the item sold. So, if the OP has at least the broker fee (7m), he should be golden (as he will have 770m in his wallet before the 1.5% sales taxes are levied against him).

@OP -- in the event that you don't want to pay the 7m broker's listing fee (and don't want to wait for social skills), you can always sell to the buy orders. Note, however that this means taking whatever price the buyer offers (and means you're more likely than not selling below 770m to start with).

I'll just earn that 7m and do it that way.

Just saying not everybody can use the recurring sub part.

Not everybody owns a CC or has Paypal or any of the other qualified payment options.

When I started you could only have a recurring sub with a CC and thus I had to buy ETC till they added Paypal support.

Also sometime I buy a ETC for cash injection and with current prices I only need one of them sold so cannuse the latter to push back my sub with a month

Jeezus, all these people and none of you know how sell orders work? You can sell one of two ways: simple and advanced. This is controlled by a drop down box on the sell window. Advanced lets you set your own price and puts up an outstanding sell order (which may be immediately filled if there's a matching outstanding buy order). This requires you to pay a broker's fee up front. Simple immediately sells to the best available outstanding buy order (and thus doesn't let you set the price--it's dictated by the buy order) and does *not* charge a broker's fee. You can place any simple sell order with no ISK whatsoever in your wallet (I have personally tested this to confirm it). There is a sales tax in both cases but it is not charged until the sale completes and is taken out of the sales proceeds. It does not require ISK in the seller's wallet.

Buy orders can likewise be simple or advanced, incidentally. Remember, if you're buy/selling against existing outstanding orders, use simple and save yourself the broker's fee...

if i give u 7 mill isk. u give it back to me when u sell ur plex?

OP.. so you have 700 mil...

If you don't have a good ISK stream, in other words you can't support your play style with in-game ISK making activities, then you should start budgeting your 700 mil...

First... take half, 350 million and set it aside.

Now take the other 350 million and divide by 10 = 35 million

35 million is the most you should spend on a fully fit ship such as:

• T1 and T2 Frigates
• T1 Destroyers with T2 rigs
• Some of the T1 Cruisers with T2 rigs

Remember, you want to generate enough ISK to replace the ships you lose before you lose them all.


And oh yeah... the other 350 million? You'll be buying skill books, ammunition, drones, and being a general all around good guy and helping out other new players by handing out a few million here and there.

It does, I had it couple of weeks ago when selling stuff.

Had less then 15 mil in my own personal wallet so couldn't sell 2 PLEX I got from a friend (all my ISK in corp wallet and I forgot to tick the "use corp wallet" box)

And I was just selling to buy orders
