PLEASE do something about no response to trade requests. It's killing the fun.
Nobody responds.
Trying to respec a character, the 1st item, No matter how many people I whisper I get no response. Even people that list items seconds ago..nothing. Tried to trade last night. Not a single response, so gave up and read a book instead lol. After work today, gave it another go and nothing, no responses again. Different items, only asking people that listed within hours. Nothing. POE 1 trade was not this bad. So. I have logged out again, it's just killing the fun. /end rant Last bumped on Jan 22, 2025, 3:02:10 PM

Are you trying to buy items on the cheap end of the spectrum? If so try buying something that's a little more expensive. There are many many people listing items for cheaper than they should to garner interest and see if they should raise the price. They won't respond.
Otherwise, they may be busy, or may not even know you messaged them. I was having a really hard time selling items, and wondering if I was priced to high due to no interest, but it turns out people were messaging me and I had no idea. I keep the chat closed while I'm playing, and aside from a really brief/quiet notification sound there was no indication. IMO they need to make it a little more obvious when someone whispers you directly. I felt bad because I honestly had no idea people were even trying to buy my stuff. |

What? Trade being an absolutely horrible experience? Say it ain't so! LOL
Trade in PoE has never been a good player experience. Luckily, its completely optional. |

" The problem with this is the game is designed around trading. I can grind forever to try to find that powerful unique I want OR I can trade for it. I can gamble thousands of times for the ring I need OR I can just trade for it. The drops are not made for SSF. I am lvl 94 and I have never found a lvl 20 gem or a perfect jewelers orb. |

Try searching for higher prices.
If the one you tried to buy was listed for a long time (few hours at least) block the seller account. Don't block if it was listed a few minutes ago, because it could've been a newbie that mispriced and got 100 thousand DMs |

Auction house for items will create more problems than solutions.
P2P trading allows you to negotiate. Auction house doesn't mean you'll be able to buy your items cheaper. Auction house is easier to control with bots to price fix specific items. |
