Trade not working!

I have been trying to buy an item via the poe-trade site for hours now.
I have written to 50 people using the function on the trade page.

And I have received ZERO invitations for a trade!
Is the trade function turned off or why don't I get a single invitation?
And I try not to buy garbage here.... the item costs 2 exalted orbs!

Same issue here i don't know what's wrong about it. Nobody giving any sorts of answers

There is nothing wrong with trade, i buy and sell multiple items.

You have to understand that if your buying specific items then chances are so are about 10-50k of other players, i personally noticed this on a set of gloves that convert cold > fire damage, it took almost 150 people until i finally managed to get one.

People who sell specific items or GOD tier items can get messaged by dozens of people everytime something nice is listed.

One example, i had a god tier ring created yesterday, i listed it on AH for 30ex, and in under 2 minutes i reckon 50-75 people had messaaged me, clearly i had undervaled it so removed it and then relisted at higher price, and it sold in 5mins for 100ex

Basically keep going, you will often find it better to find the items you want and set 'activate live search' this way you get pinged about new listings a lot quicker

people also wont directly tell you this but if you are trying to buy something for like 1 EX you most likely will not get that item if it's even semi- in demand people put fake listings on there and never answer because they are trying to get others to post for those prices so they can insta buy them and manipulate the market and GGG refuses to ever do anything because they want to force people to use their stupid trade website instead of making it just in-game because TEDIOUS = GOOD GAMEPLAY and it's been said before by their developer manifesto that they like making things tedious purely because they think its good gameplay which is hilarious.

Last two days when I go to https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2 , the site just loads and loads and nothing. Tried clearing cache and tried in other browsers. Same thing. Made sure I don't have ad block on and popups all allowed.
Any advice?

I figured it out. I force closed my vpn and it screwed up my ip.
I did a ip flush from the command prompt and a restart and it fixed it.

There seems to be a cross platform issue to some degree, I'm on ps5 if I post items I cannot see whispers from people on Xbox or pc but I do receive invite spam from people but I don't know what they want to buy so I have no choice but to ignore sadly

Series X and unable to trade myself
