Same way you get to any station, not sure if you need permission. I have just restarted playing after a year off and things have changed.

I had a look at the clear image you posted, and that's a standard station services. You can't buy ammo (in that picture) because you are already 100% stocked.
What is different from the station services in the training? What are you / are you not seeing in your posted image that is different?

I would assume that by "training guides", the OP is referring to ancient, fossil training videos on YouTube etc. Sorry, but they've changed the basic station UI several times since game launch.
When using third-party assistance for ED, always - always - check the date of a forum post, training video, walkthrough or how-to guide. If it's more than a year old, chances are that, whatever it was a guide to, it's now obsolete.
Yes, that's Jameson Memorial. I assume it's a (very low res!) screen grab from whatever "training guide" source he's using.
Now, for the main point of the OP: different stations offer different services. Some stations - especially the small "outposts", the ones that look like a 21st century space station and don't rotate (as opposed to the big ones with a rotating "mailslot" you have to fly through) - do not offer all services. Purchasing ammunition is a privilege, not a right, and not all space stations have the facilities to offer that privilege. The same goes for the services listed down the left hand side; not all stations have a commodity market, for example.

what about buying collector limpets I assume they have to be bought
how do I get collector limpets
You get collector limpets by going into Advanced Maintenance (lower right) then select Restock (on the left). That will show all your ammo and you will then be able to scroll down and purchase limpets.
Advanced maintenance - Restock - Limpets are at the bottom, select how many you want (you can sell them back here too).
In case you were not aware all limpets are the same, it is only when they are programmed by the particular controller that they become "collector" / "prospector" / whatever limpet drones.

Another who thinks duplicate threads are fun - even in the same forum and same name this time:

Whilst trying and failing to buy ammunition (I could not find it) I noticed my port services is different to the ones in the training guides. Check screen shot DD

I think it was because the image (in this thread) was not clear, so instead of editing it, they just started a new thread with an image that was clear...
