Feedback about Asynchronous Trade in Path of Exile 2

First of all, I just wanna say — I really love the new Asynchronous Trade. Honestly feels like the best thing you guys ever added in both games. Super good change, so thanks a lot for that. ❤️

That being said, I feel like there are a couple of things that could make it even better:

1.Pricing mistakes. Sometimes people (me included lol) put the wrong currency, forget a zero, or just don’t know the real value. The item gets sniped instantly and there’s nothing you can do. It sucks, especially for new players.

2.Live Search is kinda hopeless. Items disappear instantly. Like, even if you’re hovering on the button before it shows up, it’s already gone. Makes me think either bots are snapping them up or some people just see listings faster. Either way, it feels impossible to actually buy bases or crafting items before resellers grab them.

3.Tab pricing would be awesome. In premium stash you can price the whole tab, which is super handy. Like dumping all Breach rings at 1 div and lowering later. Would be cool if the new trade worked the same way.

What I think could help:
Add a quick confirmation step for items that were just listed (like within the first 5 mins).

If someone tries to buy it instantly, the seller just gets a small pop-up to confirm or decline. Or it could even just be a notification about the purchase attempt, and you’d need to go to your merchant within 5 minutes and either accept or reject the sale if you don’t want to sell it.
If they don’t click anything, it just auto-sells after a short delay.
And yeah, make it optional so people who don’t want it can turn it off.

That way:
Sellers don’t get punished for silly mistakes,
Bots can’t insta-snipe everything,
Live Search actually becomes useful for players.

Anyway, that’s just my 2 cents. Really love the new trade system overall, it’s a huge step forward. 🙌

With the old system you wouldn't be able to purchase the item using live search too. If someone gets swarmed with messages, they typically don't sell the item and instead reprice. So nothing has changed there. In either system you don't get the item. In the old one, you as the buyer wastes more time. So new system is better because it at least saves the buyers time.


Regarding mispricing. Anything you do here to allow sellers to reprice or not sell an item, will waste buyers time. Which makes it like the old system which is bad.


Tab pricing will be useful. They need to add that.

I think the one thing that would greatly improve the current system would be to implement something similar to awakend poe trade for price checking, so you wouldn't need to use a third party tool for it.
Other than that I think the new system is great.

In the old system I could buy more items with live search than now, and not many people are using the old system anymore. So about wasting time – that makes sense, but I still think it’s not good when people can accidentally click the wrong currency and sell an item by mistake.

This would work if they bought the developers who are already working on Awakened Poe Trade or Poe Overlay, but they didn't do it themselves.

Some 3rd party Price checker integration into the game would be a big welcome. Or simple make (optional for players) either would see similar item prices on tooltip or not.

You can check the price of an item right now at any time on the in game trade website.
