PoE Trade, buying items impossible?

Hello folks

I don't know if this is a bug, but yesterday I noticed it for the first time when I wanted to buy an item for the first time.
I've been trying to buy an item for at least 4 or 5 hours and nobody answers me, I don't get an invitation. Is something broken with me or has my account been muted or something? I don't understand it, whether I write to someone and want to buy something for 1 exalted or for 2,3,4 or 5, I just don't get an invite. Even today I tried again for hours to buy an item without success.

If you tell me now I am just unlucky and that is normal that you have to try for almost 5 hours to trade with other players,
then I apologize and I consider this a hardcore variant of PoE2 and you can delete this thread again. ^^

Idem pour moi j'ai le meme soucis , le message part mais aucune reponse pendant des heure .....

I am experiencing the same - have tried over and over again to buy items, whispering the seller, but I havn't gotten an answer. I've tried for several days now :/

This isn't a bug. Generally at this point in a "league," a lot of sellers at those prices consider it not worth it to reply to trade request. This has forever been a problem in PoE1.
