Stop Inviting the Seller - It's Rude

It usually ends in you not getting your item and put on the ignore list.
You have no idea where the seller could be: trials, boss, in party, afk, etc.

We do not want party invite popups - period. It was bad in POE 1 and it should be bad here as well.

When we as sellers have the moment to get you the item you want, we will DM you back or invite you.

Unless of course, you are a seller that enjoys being spammed invites. By all means, keep on keeping on. :)

Auction House.
HCSSF is the only way.
This seems more common in PoE 2 than in PoE 1.
Gutting Gameplay Gradually
How about answering messages. Or not being a dick and increasing the price every message. This would all be sorted out with a buyout system

Which makes sense since there are a lot of new players in PoE 2. Maybe they are not all familiar with the trade etiquette. For those players as fyi.

If you buy an item:
1) Take the payment out of your stash and put it in your inventory.
2) Whisper the seller. Best would be to copy the whisper text from the trade site since it contains tab name and row/column where the item is placed.
3) Wait for the seller to invite you to a party. The player may currently be fighting a boss or be in a trial or something else.
4) Once invited, travel to their hideout. Right click their portrait and go to hideout.
5) Wait for the seller to initiate the trade. They most likely need to get the item out of the stash first.
6) Accept the trade request to open the trade window and insert the payment.
7) Check the item if it really is what you want to buy. If it is the correct one, accept the trade.

If you sell an item:
1) You receive the whisper.
2) If you do not have time or the item was already sold, the nice thing to do is to respond to the whisper and inform the buyer. Most do not do this honestly. But it would be nice.
3) Once you have time, send an invite to the buyer.
4) Get the item the buyer wants out of your stash.
5) Initiate a trade request with the buyer.
6) Put the item to sell in the trade window.
7) Make sure the buyer inputs the correct amount of currency and accept the trade.

In general I understand that sentiment. Just a few points to keep in mind. Many players speak different languages and the other player may not be able to communicate with you. Many whispers copied from the trade site are in Korean, Japanese or another language. They may not speak English.

Some players are not sure how much an item is worth. So many dump the item in a stash tab for X Exalted Orbs. If they receive a lot of messages for that item within a short period of time they recognize that the price must be too low, because of the high demand. Then they adapt the price upwards until the whispers get fewer. That signals them that the item is priced more accurately.

I am neither for nor against this, I am just trying to explain why this might happen.

Make an auction house, this whole interaction with rude and stupid customers and deranged sellers who do not sell but simply list for fun, is annoying beyond measure.

I have been spammed offers of 1d or 10ex today, for items that clearly cost above 50 divines in value.

Whats more when I get a request that someone wants to buy an item, they end up asking for a discount often that discount implies selling item for 50% less than listed.

Why do we have to go through all that?

There is an auction house in last epoch, there is an auction house in torchlight infinite.

Whats more when I am busy farming divines, with my 500% rarity, and 5 raw divines dropping every half an hour on maps, would I bother to sell junk for 5, 10, 20, 50 ex?? Would I bother to accept invite wait sometime, trade manually? Is it worth the time? it is not.

Getting offers to buy stuff for 10ex is infuriating, and whats more annoying, is that you cannot even use your stash tabs as you like. Dumping a wrong item in a wrong stash tab at a moment, can lead to a necessity to enable DND to avoid being steamrolled by spam.

That is easily fixed by getting a quad stash tab as a dump tab, then proceed when you have the time to either put them in the correctly priced tabs or select a price for it directly. At the moment the tabs are being used by lazy greedy sellers. put it in 1 ex, if you get more than 1 message in 10 minutes then you put it in 5 ex, then omg you got 2 messages in 2 minutes time to put it in 20 ex tab.... eventually you start seeing stuff for 40 ex or 2 div on the trade site for 7+ days.

Now as far as people asking for a discount, it really depends on time. Personally if i see the item is up for more than 3 days i might ask for a bit of a discount say from 30 ex to 25 at most as it is obviously not selling. Right now lazy sellers have no incentive to put stuff at a reasonable price and just leave it up then wonder why its not selling and disenchant it. Charge them gold or other currency per 24 hours its up and increasing every day its up and that crap will stop really fast.

This would all change with an instant buyout especially for the people who have no actual desire to sell something and just leave stuff up for 1 ex, or they try and price fix stuff by posting stuff and trying to price fix with 20 similar items and say 5 ex then once someone other than their group (that will not sell it) puts it there they buy it and immediately repost for 20 ex

Your bragging about how much currency you're earning and what your items for sale are worth... beyond cringe AF.

Are you actually cry-bragging right now?
