Feedback and Suggestions Regarding Merchant's Tabs Conversion and Management

Dear GGG Team,

First of all, thank you for the recent update introducing the asynchronous trading system via Merchant's Tabs in Path of Exile 2. This new system is a major quality-of-life improvement and offers great convenience for trading without being physically present in-game.

However, I encountered an issue during the transition process that I’d like to bring to your attention, along with a few suggestions that I believe could improve the user experience.

Issue Experienced

Recently, after the patch introducing Merchant's Tabs, I converted a large number of my Premium Stash Tabs into Merchant's Tabs under the mistaken assumption that both types could be used interchangeably or side-by-side. As a result, I now have 31 Merchant's Tabs and only 4 remaining Premium Stash Tabs, which has caused a significant shortage of regular stash space for organizing items and crafting materials.

Since the conversion is permanent and irreversible, there is no way to undo this action. Furthermore, because Merchant's Tabs are not visible or accessible through the standard stash interface, managing this many Merchant's Tabs without foldering or hiding options has become overwhelming.

Suggestions for Improvement

Allow Reversion of Unused Tabs
Please consider allowing the conversion of a Merchant's Tab back into a Premium Stash Tab if no items have ever been listed for sale on that tab. This would help players who made accidental conversions recover valuable stash space without impacting the trading system.

Add Folder or Hide/Delete Options for Merchant's Tabs
It would be extremely helpful to implement a foldering feature or at least a “hide” or “delete” function for Merchant's Tabs. For players managing many tabs, this would greatly improve usability and reduce clutter.

Final Notes

While I understand that these systems are still being refined, I believe these changes would significantly improve the overall experience for both new and veteran players using the new trading system. I hope you’ll consider these suggestions, and I appreciate your ongoing efforts to improve the game.

Sincerely,
Soltie
