How trading actually works
There is no auction house. Trades are player to player, arranged through an external trade site and completed in a shared instance.
The basic loop
- Search the item you want on the official trade site
- Send the generated whisper to the seller in game
- Accept the party invite and travel to their hideout
- Verify the trade window before confirming
Common mistakes
Anyone asking you to drop items first is scamming you. For larger amounts use the in game currency exchange — it settles at a posted rate and removes manual mistakes entirely.
Check current exchange rates before you start. Everything else is on the main guide.
