Trading Mechanisms in Path of Exile 2
Path of Exile 2 offers two primary trading methods: direct player-to-player exchanges within the game and transactions via the official trade website. Both are explained below.
In-Game Trading
For players sharing a game instance, a simple right-click on another player's character, followed by selecting "Trade," initiates the exchange. Both players then select their trade items, and upon mutual agreement, confirm the transaction.
Alternatively, players can coordinate trades through global chat or direct messages. This involves inviting the player to a party, teleporting to their location, and then initiating the trade via the right-click method described above.
The Path of Exile 2 Trade Market
Path of Exile 2 features an online auction-style marketplace accessible only through the official trade website (link omitted for brevity, but easily found online). A PoE account linked to your game platform is required.
Buying Items: Utilize the website's filters to locate desired items. Clicking the "Direct Whisper" button initiates an in-game direct message to the seller, facilitating communication and arranging the trade.
Selling Items: A Premium Stash Tab (purchased from the in-game Microtransaction Shop) is necessary. Place the item in the Premium Stash and set it to "Public." Right-clicking the item allows price setting, automatically listing it on the official trade site. Buyers will then contact you in-game to complete the transaction.
