5. Click on items that have high volumes. You want to select items that people trade in bulk which will fill your freighter hold -- in general, this will be anything that trades with volumes over 10,000 units. Some items are smaller than 1 m3, though, so for these you'll have to look for even bigger volumes. A good list of market items to review includes: standard hybrid charges, mineral ores, all of the Consumer Goods, all of the Industrial Goods, and Livestock (found under Passengers). After you click on each item to get the detailed market report, then click the "~~Export to File~~" button, found at the bottom of the market window. This produces a file that the EVE-Central Market Uploader can use to send current data to the aggregated database. (Yes, this takes a little time, as it's about 30 items, but it's worth it.)

6. Alt-TAB (if you are using a PC) to the EVE-Central Market Uploader program. Force a scan of your system for market data files - this will upload the most current data to EVE-Central. Eventually, the uploader program does this automatically, but you want to make sure you have added all the latest data, so it's good practice to do this.
