| A good way to avoid courier contract scams is to only accept contracts for routes you were planning on hauling anyway, and to not accept contracts to player owned stations. | | A good way to avoid courier contract scams is to only accept contracts for routes you were planning on hauling anyway, and to not accept contracts to player owned stations. |

| ===Trading Cost Modifiers===
| |
|
| |
| *{{sk|Broker Relations}} [Req: Trade 2] reduce base broker fee by 0.3% per level
| |
| *{{sk|Accounting}} [Req: Trade 4]: reduces sales tax by 11% per level
| |
| *{{sk|Margin Trading}} [Req: Accounting 4]: reduces escrow requirement for buy orders by an additional 25% per level
| |
|
| |
| Whenever you set up a buy or sell order, you will have to pay the broker fee: 5% of the total order (3.5% at {{sk|Broker Relations}} level five), modified by standings. Whenever each unit gets sold, the seller will pay 5% of the sell price as a [[Tax#Sales_tax|sales tax]] (2.25% at max skills). The fees show up in the wallet journal as "Brokers Fee" and "Transaction Tax".
| |
|
| |
| Thus, a station trader with zero standings will pay between 5% (at max skills) and 10% of the order price as fees/taxes. This is important to take into account when calculating your profit, but of course the standings below can change that further.
| |
|
| |
| ====Standings====
| |
|
| |
| [[Faction Standings|Faction and corporation standings]] relevant to the station the orders are placed in will have an effect on the broker fee. Faction standings contribute 1/3 more than corp standings. Note that the ''unmodified'' standing is used for the calculation. The exact formula is:
| |
|
| |
| :''BrokerFee (in %) = 5 - (0.3*BrokerRelationsLevel) - (0.03*FactionStanding) - (0.02*CorpStanding)''
| |
|
| |
| With no skills or standing the broker fee is 5%. With 10 faction and corp standing, the broker fee is reduced to 4.5%. With broker relations V and perfect standing the fee is further reduced to 3%.
