In Path of Exile 2, connecting with other players for trading is a key part of the experience. There are two primary methods: direct in-game trading and utilizing the official trade website. Let's explore both.
In-Game Trading
If you're in the same game instance as another player, right-clicking their character icon and selecting "Trade" initiates a direct exchange. Both players select their offered items, and once both confirm, the trade is complete.
Alternatively, you can arrange trades via global chat or direct messages. Invite the player to your party, teleport to their location, and then right-click to begin the trading process.
The Path of Exile 2 Trade Market
Path of Exile 2 features a trading website acting as an auction house (accessible via the official link—requires a linked PoE account).
Buying: Use the site's filters to locate desired items. Clicking "Direct Whisper" sends an in-game message to the seller, allowing you to coordinate a meeting and complete the transaction.
Selling: This requires a Premium Stash Tab (purchased from the in-game shop). Place the item in the Premium Stash and set it to "Public." Right-click to set the price, automatically listing it on the trade site. Buyers will contact you in-game to arrange the trade.
