Path of Exile 2 Trade Site Basics

Search Bar, Type Filters, and Stat Filters

  • Search Bar: At the top, type the exact name of any item you’re searching for. From Uniques to Orbs, this is your gateway to finding everything.
  • League Selection: Select your League (defaults to Standard) to refine your search results.
  • Online Only: Toggle to show items listed by online players or include offline listings.

Type Filters

  • Item Category: Narrow your search to specific item types like “Two-Handed Mace” or “Amulet.”

Stat Filters

This is where the magic happens. Add specific modifiers like Life, Resistances, or Movement Speed to pinpoint the items you need. Specify value ranges for more precision.
Pro Tip: Use the fuzzy search feature by typing a tilde (~) before your search query to make searches less exact and return broader results.

Advanced Filtering Options

Stat Groups

  • And: Combine multiple modifiers; items must meet all criteria.
  • Not: Exclude items with specific modifiers.
  • If: Set conditional filters (e.g., “Only show items with Fire Resistance if it’s at least 20%”).
  • Count: Require a minimum or maximum number of selected modifiers.
  • Weighted Sum: Advanced users can assign weights to stats for prioritizing modifiers.

Equipment and Requirement Filters

  • Filter items by DPS, Defense stats, or empty sockets.
  • Set requirements for Level, Strength, Dexterity, or Intelligence for low-level or specific builds.

Miscellaneous Filters

  • Adjust searches by Gem Level, Corruption status, Area Level, or stack size for consumables.

Trade Filters

  • Narrow results by seller account, listing date, pricing type (fixed, negotiable), or price range.

Selling Items on the Trade Site

Public Stash Tabs

Right-click your Tab and set it to “Public” to list items for sale. Choose between:

  • Individually Priced: Set unique prices per item.
  • Negotiable Prices: Allow haggling.
  • Exact Price: Set a fixed price for all items in the tab.

Setting Prices

  • Use the dropdown menu to price items. Alternatively, add a price note manually using text (e.g., ~price 10 chaos).

Bulk Listing

  • Stackable items can be listed in bulk (e.g., 100 Chaos Orbs for 10 Exalted Orbs). Use the format: Price/Quantity.

Trade Etiquette

  • Buyer Travels: Always go to the seller’s Hideout.
  • Seller Initiates: Let the seller send the Trade Request.
  • Say Thanks: A simple “TY” or “SS” (Stay Safe) goes a long way.
  • Be Honest: Don’t alter trade messages to manipulate prices.
  • Respect Time: Unlist items if you’re unavailable to trade.

Bulk Item Exchange

Located under the Bulk Item Exchange tab, this section simplifies trading consumables like Currency, Fragments, and Essences. Filter by quantity, seller account, or stock count to find the best deals.

Final Tips for Success

  • Live Search: Activate live notifications to catch rare or underpriced items.
  • Overpricing Risks: Research market prices to avoid listing items at unrealistic prices.
  • Be Patient: High-value items often take longer to sell.
