Just pay the guy who makes poe.trade to use it IN-GAME. Really a very, very simple solution that should've been done over a year ago.

The new trading changes aren't in the March 1.1.0 patch - there are two reasons:
a) We're keen to deploy them as soon as they're ready. There's no real need to wait for the next four-monthly patch.
b) The new trading stuff is not ready yet. It's a major system overhaul and we're still working on it. I'm really sorry about the delay.

As for how it works, the current plan is a combination of public stash tabs (to make it easier to find items) and separately, an asynchronous cross-instance-website trading system. You can basically trade (without buyouts) across the game and website. The trades and offers are still there when you log in later, so it's possible to trade with offline people or people who aren't in your game area or are on their phone or work PC.

Current trading system is good enough.

If they implemented something where it was easier to trade with people who are offline it would totally destroy the economy and they would have to redesign loot droprates across the board since the minimum quality of a "good" item would be raised to a much higher bar.

Basically, if you make trading easier then people have to lower their prices on lower end gear to compete and actually sell items due to raised composition. The result of this is that everyone would be running around 75 maps with great gear that they bought for 1c instead of 68 maps with acceptable gear that they bought for 1c.

It also makes people feel incredibly unsatisfied because with a higher bar for acceptable gear it starts to feel impossible to make currency. All your drops are more difficult to sell on the low end, so those 1-5c sales become very rare items. You can already see this effect when there's a new season. EX: that 60 all res, 70 life chest you found on day 1 was picked up quick for 5c, but now that we're a month in you have a hard time selling it for 3c

No, its really not. Soon though... -_-

E: To be clear I agree you shouldn't be able to buy ppl's items when they are offline. However, I hate having to alt tab out. WTB new trading system ASAP plz

Now a days we use 2 screens or 3 even, alt tabbing is so 2010 and hey no need for a system that works fine

I really look forward to trading improvements. As of now, I only buy stuff using poe.trade, I simply do not feel like being bothered with setting up procurement/aquisition, alt tabbing, using my 2nd monitor for trade, etc.

IMO, you should be able to create a shop from in game, right click (shift click, alt click, whatever) on an item in your stash -> add to shop -> set buyout. Shop created, items set to sell, good to go.
