Here's what I understand so far:

When trading you friend the person or join their legion and then you send stuff back and forth as needed.

Are goods or payment usually sent first?
Are there any safer ways?


Also what is protocol for trading planets? I scanned a great planet from a strong legion and as a poor low rank player it would be nice to get something for it..

Thanks for the info. Wasn't able to return the PM.

I'll try the planet first. It's a Colossal Gaia Low multiplier Mega Rich Artifact in case you were wondering. Off to the trade forum.

3-4k each

I assume my forum account is too new to send PMs? The FAQ suggested that that wasn't the issue though. Or perhaps I haven't posted enough. The search options fails me. Or rather I failed it.

not anymore... now that you've posted publicly 3 times you can pm folks... (it's an anti-spam measure for PMs)
