How to Trade In-Game

How to Trade In-Game
1. Invite a Player to a Party 2. Request a Player Trade 3. Place an Item for Trade 4. Accept the Trade

1. Invite a Player to a Party

If you want to trade with a specific person or friend, it would be best to add them as a friend! After adding a friend, invite them to a party so that you can teleport to their location and request a trade.

You'll need to be in close proximity with one another so it's necessary to have both the buyer and the seller on a single location.

Send a Direct Whisper in the Official Trading Site to Initiate Trade

On the official trading site, if you press the Direct Whisper button next to the player's IGN who is Online or AFK, it will send a chat in-game containing a link to the player's IGN and the item you want to buy. This allows you to right click the player's name and invite them to your party to initiate trading.

2. Request a Player Trade

To trade with a player, walk up to their character and request a trade. If they accept, the trading hud will open for both players!

3. Place an Item for Trade

After the trade request has been accepted, you may now place any item you wish to trade to the other party. As a security measure for trading, Path of Exile 2 included a system where you have to hover over an item the other player put up for trade. This protects newer players from being scammed out of their precious items!

4. Accept the Trade

When two of the players are happy with the trades they put up, both should simply press the "Accept" button to resolve the trade. This should successfully send over the item to both inventories!

Search for Listed Items

On the official Path of Exile 2 website trading page, you can easily search for items that are listed for trade. Whether you're looking for something specific or browsing options, the search feature lets you filter results to find exactly what you need.

You can view the in-game name of whoever's selling the item you're interested in, and can see their status whether they're online, AFK, or offline. Players who are online or AFK can be sent a direct whisper from the site and it will reflect immediately on the chatbox in-game.

How to Sell Items on the Official Website

How to Sell Items
1. Make Sure You Have Premium Stash Tabs 2. Set the Premium Stash Tab to Public 3. Place Items on the Stash and Set Prices 4. Check the Trading Site if Your Item is Live

Make Sure You Have Premium Stash Tabs

Premium Stash Tabs are necessary if you want to sell items on the trading website. These can be bought from the in-game shop. Since you start with four stash tabs, you can choose to upgrade one to a Premium Stash Tab, which is cheaper than buying a new Premium Stash Tab.

Shop Bundles and Microtransactions

Stash Tabs Go on Sale Every 3 Weeks

You can wait for discounted prices on Stash Tabs so you can buy more tabs! These sales usually go live for 4 days every 3 weeks.

Stash Tab Sale Schedule and Prices

Set the Premium Stash Tab to Public

Go to your stash and right-click on your Premium Stash Tab, then check Public. You can then choose whether each item is individually priced, set negotiable prices on all items, or set exact prices on all items.

Place Items on the Stash and Set Prices

Place the item you wish to sell in your now-public stash tab. RIght click on the item to set a price. You can choose to set an Exact Price, a Negotiable Price, or select Do Not Index. Choosing Do Not Index will not list the item on the trading site.

Afterwards, select the currency you'd like to receive and specify the amount. Options range from Exalted Orbs to Vaal Orbs, but Exalted Orbs are typically preferred as they are the standard currency within the community.

Check the Trading Site if Your Item is Live

After setting everything, you can go to the official trading website and search for your item. If all steps were done correctly, you should see your item listed!

When Should You Trade?

Trade For Equivalent Loot

When you get relatively rare equipment you cannot use yourself, try to link the item you got in the Trading Channel to get some trade opportunities with other players instead of selling or dismantling them.

Not only will this help another player get stronger, but you may also receive bundles of useful Gems, Currency Items, or an equipment piece of the same value accessible for your class!

Save Up Exalted Orbs

Exalted Orbs are the standard currency used for trading on the Path of Exile 2 Trading Site. You can use Exalted Orbs to buy listed items and sell your items in exchange for the orbs. Although there are other options to use for currency, these Exalted Orbs are ones players use most.
