Why do you think I'm talking about a single item. I was farming POE trade for hours, seeing common unique items be listed 1min ago, that were already sold as soon as the seller posted it I was told by them at times.
Others have been having the same experience. Poe.trade is delayed by minutes compared to direct hooks into the API.
I play the game, not poe trade farming to flip items and then be able to afford endgame gear.

Maybe you need to do some research and find out whats happening with access to API for everyone before you start mouthing off people, that and learn reading comprehension.

I've been flipping items via poetrade since the first day of the league and have yet to run in to this mysterious army of people sniping the deals that you seem to think are rightfully yours. I play the game too and I was end game geared on the 4th day.

There's no conspiracy about people beating you to trades, you just lost. Get over it and grab the next one.

I'd get spammed by people who want to buy a cheap tabula. If this happens to you, you should take it as a lesson that you've underpriced something.

What you seem to fail to realise is that you'll get automated messages from robots. And you'll get 30 of them in the same second. That is the issue people have with these exploits. If you were beat to a good deal by another person, nobody would care. But since you're being beat by robots, it's kind of annoying and people want this to be better supervised.

Do you understand what I'm saying now? Or just going to blatantly defend your position and trading "prowess" anyway?

And what makes you assume that everyone whispering you is a robot? I'm usually part of that spam and most of the people I whisper back when I get spammed are people too. I'd be interested in seeing the data you've collected.

Because it takes about 7minutes for poe.trade to recognise your item

Recently I put really good magic jewel in public tab without pricing it, just to store it here until I regal it. Couple of seconds later my PM was exploded by dozens sniper whispers offering ridiculously low price. I had to remove that jewel and type /dnd and sit in dnd for 10 minutes. Such convenient trade.
