This is not a trade but wanted to warn everyone that they have been banning lately. Buddy and myself both lost our accounts despite doing safe trades. Would highly recommend breaking up large trades over 100ex cause they got me for 400. Haven't been doing any trading besides on here so figured I'd throw out a word of caution. Good luck exiles!

You were trading with anyone and everyone lol.
Being a high level doesnt mean safe trades btw. Bots do exist and its a common thing now that flippers/trade sites buy high level accounts to do trades.

By safe trades I mean high level accounts with trade request and high level rares for ex. Thank you for your opinion.

I doubt you confirmed the item you were trading was a high level rare. As if that mattered at all anyways lol.
But a trade site/flipper/marked player can have a high level account, with a "high level" rare and provide a trade link all the same. Doesnt make it safe.
Hell, you could have been the marked person that got other people banned lol.

I could go around with you all day but got better things to do then entertain someone trying to troll. This is simply a heads up to the community to be careful. That is all. Feel free to get in the last word if you like.

I trade full inventories of ex and mirrors daily and have never been banned. While I'm sure you think you were being safe I don't think you know what safe even means.

Trading with high level characters and having a trade site message isn't safe, its the bare minimum. I'm not trying to troll you or insult, sorry you lost your shit. But it has nothing to do with the amount being sold, and much more to do with who you were trading with.

If you do continue to play, I'd suggest the following things:
1. Only trade with people who seem to actually play the game (makes posts related to the game, tries to sell builds, items - not only buying/selling currency)
2. I almost always use either a) Corrupted rare b) Megalomaniac c) Rare talisman amulet - these items are harder to price as its value is driven by the buyers in most cases + recombinators exist, making it more reasonable for people to pay higher amounts for corrupted rares and talismans
3. I do believe GGG is biased towards those that have spent actual $$$ on their PoE account, so try to trade with people that have a) MTX b) PREMIUM stash tabs c) Challenges

I've only ever been banned once, and it was when I traded with a known gold shop/reseller using a new account with $0 invested into it
My main account that traded over the items to the banned account is still untouched and happily enjoying the game

Thanks for the advice. Will definitely be more careful in the future.
