Trading Guide: How to Trade

To trade in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2), simply request a trade with any player and place an item for trading, or trade through the official website! Learn how to trade both in-game and on the website, as well as when it's best to make a trade in this guide.

How to Trade In-Game

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

1. 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!

Invite a Friend 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.

2. 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!

3. 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 player's name who is selling the item, making it easy to reach out to them. Simply message them in-game to arrange the details of your trade.

Path of Exile Official Website Trading Page

Filter Your Search

You can use a variety of filters to narrow down your search and find the exact item you're looking for. Filter by categories like rarity, item level, and equipment type, or set specific requirements to fine-tune your results.

Trade in Bulk

If you're looking to trade multiple items at once, the Bulk Item Exchange tab allows you to list and trade items in bulk. You can easily organize and manage large trades, making it more convenient to exchange multiple goods at once.

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!
