Using this process, haulers can easily make 1 million ISK about every 20 minutes - sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. Not a bad return for something that is almost risk free.

As warned in step 8 above, EVE-Central does not include the effect of sales taxes or broker fees on your transactions.  It's up to you to remember the potential effect that these costs will have on the profitability of your trades.  Fortunately, the 1.5% standard sales tax is not hard to calculate.

You can reduce the amount of sales tax by training the Accounting skill - this reduces sales tax by ten percent per level.  So, a fully maxed out Accounting level of 5 will cut the standard 1.5% sales tax by half, resulting in a sales tax rate of three-quarters of one percent (0.75%).  However, the Accounting skill is relatively expensive to acquire (about 4.5 million ISK), so you will have to trade a great deal to earn that back from slightly lower sales taxes.
