Online/Offline Trading "in-game"

UPDATE:
or without the off-line option (auto purchase), no BUY button.

We definitely need this. One of the major flaws of this game. What's the difference between this and poe.trade? Poe.trade was created because this game lacks a major feature that every other online game has, a proper trading system. We also need a mail system to send other people messages. It's hard to believe it's impossible to send offline messages in this game, let alone parcels.

The ability to make an automatic purchase with a set buy-out price

Not in the second version. No "BUY" buttons, only "Whisper" or "Invite to Party"
So, it works exactly like poe.trade
only have the price if the seller wants to set a price so people can see, like poe.trade

Sorry, I guess the two large "BUY" buttons at the top of the image threw me off, lels

Still a very low-priority issue and in my opinion completely unnecessary. Trading is fine as-is, there are a lot more important things to work on.

Its OK.
I'm not expecting for this to happen any time soon or ever.
But it would be a major improvement on this game that has so much focus on trading. I bet that this change alone would help keep a good number of new players in the game.

edit: Also i know a lot of people (like myself) that simply don't sell items because using other party websites and programs is not only 100% safe but is also too much work for a videogame. IMO what poe.trade offers should be in the game from the beginning.

We do have plans for updating the trading system. Chris has made the following comment about what that is likely to include...

If you all go with this type of asynchronous trading where the seller needs to respond to the buyer to finalize a transaction, then I'd like to make the request that GGG create a mobile app that will notify me when someone is interested in buying something.

The biggest problem I have with trading currently is that I cannot immediately know someone wants to buy something when offline, nor can I actually perform the trade when unable to access the game.

I think auction house with buyout and minimum bid is an option. Just like the old D3 auction house. Bid should expire 2-3 days and it will automatically off the market.

I really don't agree with that system.
No one wants to wait 2 or 3 days to be able to "buy or not" an item.

I am also in favor of some sort of in game sell/buy possibility. I see players argumenting that the economy gets ruined that way, but it is already possible to buy/sell everything outside the game, so in what way does an in game buy/sell possibility change that? Yes, it becomes a bit easier for the casual players that do not bother to go to sites outside the game to get their stuff. Is that a bad thing?

Already from the start of this game I think it is a major mistake form GGG to not implement some kind of buy/sell possibility. And before someone says that I want an auction house and that GGG will never implement an auction house...........no, I do not want an auction house.......I think of the good old days of Ultima Online, in which a player could place a merchant in front of his house and stack it with stuff to sell against a fixed price. That could also be done in POE.

Create some kind of market map on which players can rent a booth to sell their stuff. In that way one can remember the position of a good store and come back once in a while.
