Is there a way to restrict a multi jump buy order so it doesn't bleed over into low-sec? I know you can configure the setting of the market so it doesn't display low-sec but does that affect buy orders also?

I'm pretty sure there's not, you can only restrict the distance of the systems the buy order applies to but not the security status.

The only way is to calculate the system you need to place the order in (and the range you can select) so that it only reaches highsec systems... and then place the order in a station in that system instead of the usual location.

Print out a map (Ombey's work out well). Place a big zero on any low-sec system that has a station in it. Then start working outwards from those origin points. Any system next to a "zero" gets a "one". Once you have all of those marked, put a "two" in any system next to a "one". Repeat with increasing numbers until you have filled the entire region map.

On the other hand, even if you setup a buy order that does include a few low-sec systems, the vast majority (95%?) of your sales are going to come from hi-sec systems.
