How to Trade in Path of Exile 2: Currency, Items, and Offline Sales

Path of Exile 2 has separate systems for exchanging supported assets, finding item listings, selling offline, and trading directly. Here’s how to choose the right one and avoid common mistakes.

Path of Exile 2 has four ways to trade: the Currency Exchange for supported stackable assets, the official trade2 site or in-game Market Panel for item listings, Merchant’s Tabs for asynchronous sales, and direct player-to-player trades. Trading requires a trade-enabled league; Solo Self-Found (SSF) disables these systems.

Which trading method should you use?

Route Best for Does the seller need to be online? Main limitation
Currency Exchange Supported currencies and other exchange-listed stackable assets No meeting required Not for ordinary gear; unavailable in SSF. GGG’s Currency Exchange documentation
Official trade2 site or Market Panel Finding gear and other player listings Depends on the listing type Choose the correct league and inspect the listing carefully. Game8’s September 9, 2025 guide
Merchant’s Tab Asynchronously selling items that are not available on Currency Exchange No Requires a paid tab, individual item pricing, and the buyer pays a gold fee. GGG’s Asynchronous Trade FAQ
Direct player trade One-off exchanges when both players are available Yes Requires coordination and manual confirmation

The official trade2 website and in-game Market Panel are ways to search player listings. They are distinct from Currency Exchange and the asynchronous Merchant’s Tab shop system.

Check your league before trading

Trading features require a trade-enabled league. Solo Self-Found disables trading, including Merchant’s Tab trading, and Currency Exchange is documented for non-SSF trade-enabled leagues. If the Market Panel or an NPC option is missing, check your character’s league mode before troubleshooting the interface. GGG’s Currency Exchange documentation and GGG’s Asynchronous Trade FAQ

How to exchange currency and supported assets

Use Faustus for Currency Exchange. It handles currencies and other supported, exchange-listed stackable assets, not ordinary equipment. GGG’s documented selectable categories include currencies, fragments, divination cards, fossils, resonators, omens, and items eligible for an extra slot in a Currency Stash Tab. Availability is limited to the categories the interface supports.

Do not use a Merchant’s Tab for currency: GGG says the tab is only for items unavailable on Currency Exchange, and its FAQ explicitly excludes currency items. GGG’s Asynchronous Trade FAQ

How to find and buy equipment through trade2

For gear, unique items, and other items outside Currency Exchange, search the official trade2 website or the in-game Market Panel. Game8’s September 9, 2025 guide describes the official site, asynchronous trading, and in-person trades as practical routes; it identifies Exalted Orbs and Divine Orbs as standard currencies on the trade site.

  1. Open trade2 or the Market Panel and select your active league.

  3. Compare listings, then verify the exact base, item name, modifiers, sockets, quantity, and requested price in the trade confirmation window before accepting.

Checking the confirmation details helps catch an incorrect selection or a listing that is no longer available. League selection matters: listings from another league may not be relevant to your character.

How to sell items while offline

Merchant’s Tabs let other players buy listed items even when the seller is offline. They are intended for items not available on Currency Exchange. Put an eligible item in the tab, set its price individually, and allow the listing to index. The buyer pays the gold fee for the purchase; the seller has no listing gold fee. Collect sale proceeds from the Earnings Tab at the hideout shop NPC. GGG’s Asynchronous Trade FAQ

Tab price and listing rules

  • GGG listed a single Merchant’s Tab at 40 points and a bundle of six at 200 points in its August 25, 2025 FAQ. These are the stated prices in that FAQ; check the in-game store for current availability and pricing. GGG’s Asynchronous Trade FAQ
  • Each item needs its own price; there is no whole-tab buyout price.
  • If multiple buyers try to purchase the same listing, GGG says, “The first player to complete the trade will get it.”

GGG said eligible Premium Stash Tabs that players already owned could be converted when the system launched; future purchases follow Merchant’s Tab rules. GGG’s Asynchronous Trade FAQ

When direct player-to-player trade makes sense

Use direct trade for an agreed one-off exchange when both players are present, especially if the item does not suit Currency Exchange or an asynchronous listing. Coordinate through the party and hideout flow, place the agreed items in the trade window, and inspect both sides before accepting. Be cautious with unsolicited offers or pressure to confirm quickly.
