Just started playing POE for the first time. im through with campaign and im now level 82.

Looking to buy some divs to upgrade my gear.

.. but i keep seeing people ask for trade link. I don't want to waste a traders time so can someone please educate me on how this works?

been trading on JSP for years with the traditional "add friend" , open trade window and 2/3 rule but never played POE..

step 1

Put an item for sale in one of your tabs. usually a timeless jewel or megalomaniac jewel or a corrupted rare item with a mess of stats.
Price it for the amount you are buying.


step 2
go on the trade website and find the item you listed for sale exactly. (do this in a way to where ONLY your item shows and there will be no confusion to as which item the buyer is choosing.)
If there is another item listed with same exact stats as your item, choose a different item.


Step 3

Send them the trade link ( URL ) to your item that you have listed for X amount of divines. ( copy the URL/ Link you are going to send them and test it in a new browser to make sure it works and only shows your item before sending )

Step 4

wait in your hideout for them to click the button that will send you the " hi i would like to buy x item for x amount of currency "

step 5
invite them to your hideout, send FG, accept trade and give listed item for currency.

done.

Forgot to mention you can set the search to only show items YOU are selling by entering your account name
