There are lots of tutorial and video that explains how to use lots of useless software to start publishing trade offers on poe.trade.
Pathofexile.com/trade is the official shop indexer of [[Path of Exile]] that sorts items in a easy-to-find manner. The content of this guide largely refers to listing your items using the [https://www.pathofexile.com/forum|official Path of Exile trade forums], as the process is significantly more complex than the use of a [[Premium Stash Tab]].


Actually, none of this is really requiered. But it's hard to find how to do without these software, because when you search how to do without, you only find these softwares.
==Summary of pathofexile.com/trade mechanics==
Pathofexile.com/trade gets its information through the [[Public stash tab API]], as well as from the forums (particularly the trading subforums). The forums have a system to link items from your game stash to your posts, which helps verify if the item is still available, in the same way the stash tab indexer does. The items can then be priced by appending the correct syntax after the code that links the item.


A few times every minute, pathofexile.com/trade look at any posts on the forum, and updates the index with any listed items. The indexer has a limit to how many threads it searches, which is why it is good practice to regularly 'bump" the thread, or post a comment to have it appear higher in the subforum.


==Summary of poe.trade mecanics==
==Creating a forum thread==
The site poe.trade only read the official game forum, in the trading section.

In posts on the forum, you can add data to tell poe.trade what price you are selling an item.
# Log in to [http://www.pathofexile.com www.pathofexile.com].
The forum also has a system to link item in your posts.
# Browse to the forum trading section. A couple of alternatives will be available depending on which [[league]] you are playing in and if you're buying or selling a few items or want to create a large shop full of items. For example, if you are playing in the '''Standard League''' and want to create a shop:
# Go to the '''Standard League - Shops''' subforum.
# Create a thread. The title of the post does not matter.
# In the original post; link the items you want to sell. On the top left part of pathofexile.com, you should see your account and one of your characters should be displayed. If you click on the picture of your character, you'll see your inventory, and you'll have access to your stash.
# Click only one time on the item you want to sell. A code, looking like this one, will be copied to the text of your forum post: <code><nowiki>[linkItem location="Stash2" league="Standard" x="5" y="0"]</nowiki></code>. If you preview your post, you'll see the item picture and a proper link in your post.
# After the code, you can tell the indexer what price you want to sell the item for. For example, the syntax for a buyout (b/o) of 3 {{il|Chaos Orb}} would be <code>~b/o 3 chaos</code>. You can find a full list of item syntaxes to list your items on the official trade site [https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/about here].
# Once finished, submit the thread and wait for the indexer to add it. This can sometimes take a while.


Every few minutes, poe.trade look at your posts on the forum, and update what your buy/sell offers.
This procedure has been automated by various [[List of Path of Exile related applications|inventory management tools]].


==Appearing online==
In order for your items to be listed for sale, you'll need to be seen as '''Online''' in game by the indexer. While premium stash tabs automate this process (since your account has to be logged in in order for them to be indexed), while using the forum to list items, some workarounds are necessary. Here are a few options:
# Buying at least one [[Premium Stash Tab]] and setting it as public. In this case you don't have to do anything and your online status will be determined automatically.
# Some third party applications such as [https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/805016/page/1 Auto Online] and [https://github.com/xyzz/acquisition/releases?page=1 Acquisition] enable you flag yourself as online for the trade indexer.


==Creating the forum post==
First, in the trading section, you should find the proper game mode and sell mode.


For exemple, most players will want to sell items they have, and are playing Softcore Prophecy.
==See also==
So they want to go to '''Standard Prophecy League - Selling'''
* [[Currency creation and trading]]
There, they have to create a '''shop post'''. The title of the post does not mater.


In the text of post, you will want to link the item you want to sell.
[[Category:Guides]]
On the top left of the forum internet page, you should see your account and one of your character should be displayed.
If you click on the picture of your character, you'll see your inventory, and you'll have access to your stash.
 
Click only one time on the item you want to sell.
A code, looking like this one, will be copied to the text of your forum post:
 
<nowiki>[linkItem location="Stash2" league="Prophecy" x="5" y="0"]</nowiki>
 
If you preview your post, you'll see the item picture and proper link in your post.
 
Under the code that linked that item, you can put a code to tell poe.trade what price you want to sell this item.
For exemple, to sell it for 3 chaos orb, you just have to write:
 
<nowiki>~b/o 3 chaos</nowiki>
 
 
So in the end, in that exemple, your shop post text should be:
<nowiki>
[linkItem location="Stash2" league="Prophecy" x="5" y="0"]
~b/o 3 chaos
</nowiki>
 
After that, you can let an empty line, and put other items for sale.
 
Once done, you just have to submit your post, and wait until poe.trade finds it.
 
==List of price codes==
The full list and the full syntax is on:
poe.trade/html/tags.html
 
==Linking it to poe.trade==
 
You should not need to do anything. Just wait, and your offer will appear while searching for it, in the offline offers. Yes, for now, you will be dislayed as "offline".
 
 
==Telling poe.trade your online status==
 
So that poe.trade car see that you are online, you need to set one of your premium tab as "public" in the game.
 
Currency tabs are premium tabs. Setting one public will work.
 
Else, premium tab are the tabs whose color you can change.
 
If you did not buy any premium or currency tab, then, there is a solution using an external software. Acquisition is one of these external software.

This is a guide on the subject of listing items for sale on forums with pathofexile.com/trade.

Last updated on March 7, 2022.

Pathofexile.com/trade is the official shop indexer of Path of Exile that sorts items in a easy-to-find manner. The content of this guide largely refers to listing your items using the Path of Exile trade forums, as the process is significantly more complex than the use of a Premium Stash Tab.

Summary of pathofexile.com/trade mechanics

Pathofexile.com/trade gets its information through the Public stash tab API, as well as from the forums (particularly the trading subforums). The forums have a system to link items from your game stash to your posts, which helps verify if the item is still available, in the same way the stash tab indexer does. The items can then be priced by appending the correct syntax after the code that links the item.

A few times every minute, pathofexile.com/trade look at any posts on the forum, and updates the index with any listed items. The indexer has a limit to how many threads it searches, which is why it is good practice to regularly 'bump" the thread, or post a comment to have it appear higher in the subforum.

Creating a forum thread

  1. Log in to www.pathofexile.com.
  2. Browse to the forum trading section. A couple of alternatives will be available depending on which league you are playing in and if you're buying or selling a few items or want to create a large shop full of items. For example, if you are playing in the Standard League and want to create a shop:
  3. Go to the Standard League - Shops subforum.
  4. Create a thread. The title of the post does not matter.
  5. In the original post; link the items you want to sell. On the top left part of pathofexile.com, you should see your account and one of your characters should be displayed. If you click on the picture of your character, you'll see your inventory, and you'll have access to your stash.
  6. Click only one time on the item you want to sell. A code, looking like this one, will be copied to the text of your forum post: [linkItem location="Stash2" league="Standard" x="5" y="0"]. If you preview your post, you'll see the item picture and a proper link in your post.
  7. After the code, you can tell the indexer what price you want to sell the item for. For example, the syntax for a buyout (b/o) of 3 Chaos OrbChaos OrbStack Size: 20Reforges a rare item with new random modifiersRight click this item then left click a rare item to apply it. would be ~b/o 3 chaos. You can find a full list of item syntaxes to list your items on the official trade site here.
  8. Once finished, submit the thread and wait for the indexer to add it. This can sometimes take a while.

This procedure has been automated by various inventory management tools.

Appearing online

In order for your items to be listed for sale, you'll need to be seen as Online in game by the indexer. While premium stash tabs automate this process (since your account has to be logged in in order for them to be indexed), while using the forum to list items, some workarounds are necessary. Here are a few options:

  1. Buying at least one Premium Stash Tab and setting it as public. In this case you don't have to do anything and your online status will be determined automatically.
  2. Some third party applications such as Auto Online and Acquisition enable you flag yourself as online for the trade indexer.
