How to Trade in Path of Exile 2
Path of Exile 2 offers two primary trading methods: direct player-to-player trades within the game and utilizing the official trade website. Let's examine each method.
In-Game Trading
If you're in the same game instance as another player, right-click their character and select "Trade." Both players then choose the items to exchange. Confirm the trade once you're both satisfied.
Alternatively, you can initiate trades via global chat or direct messages. Right-click a player's name in chat, invite them to your party, teleport to their location, and then right-click their character to begin trading.
Path of Exile 2 Trade Market

Path of Exile 2 features a trade site acting as an auction house (accessible only through the official website, linked above). You'll need a PoE account linked to your gaming platform.
To purchase an item, use the site's filters. Once you find something, click "Direct Whisper" to send an in-game message to the seller, arrange a meeting, and complete the transaction.
Selling requires a Premium Stash Tab (purchased from the in-game Microtransaction Shop). Place the item in the Premium Stash, set it to "Public," and optionally set a price via right-click; it will automatically appear on the trade site. The buyer will then contact you in-game to arrange the trade.
