How to Trade in Path of Exile 2
Path of Exile 2 offers two primary methods for trading items: direct in-game trades with other players and utilizing the official trade website. Let's explore both.
Trading In-Game
If you find yourself in the same game instance as another player, a simple right-click on their character and selecting "Trade" initiates the process. You'll both then select the items you wish to exchange. Once both players confirm, the trade is complete.
Alternatively, you can coordinate trades via the game's global chat or direct messages. Right-click a player's name in the 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 an online trading platform accessible only through the official trade website [link here]. Note that a linked PoE account is required.
To purchase an item, use the website's filters to locate your desired item. Once found, click the "Direct Whisper" button to send an in-game message to the seller. From there, you can arrange a meeting to complete the transaction.
Selling items requires a Premium Stash Tab, purchased from the in-game Microtransaction Shop. Place the item in the Premium Stash and set it to "Public." You can also set the price by right-clicking the item; it will then automatically appear on the official trade site. After a buyer contacts you via in-game message, arrange a trade to finalize the sale.
