Trade items directly

Hi, I think the possibility of trading "currency" thanks to Alva is a great idea, but I think that trading can still be improved further and I want to propose a new improvement.
Trading any object directly. To do this I think that on the /trade page there should still be the possibility of sending a whisper to be able to trade but there should also be the option to trade directly, that is, a button in which after finding the object that interests you, you can press it and automatically the seller receives what he asks for and the object that you have bought is yours. As it is possible that you do not have space in the inventory to buy that object, I propose the existence of a new NPC, who could be called Hermes, who would have the object that has been bought.
To avoid bots constantly buying objects that someone can sell cheap, I propose that this purchase option can only be done once every three hours per account, or something similar.
I want to propose this idea because sometimes when looking for items to buy it can be a bit tedious and slow, also, as the leagues progress there are players who are AFK and the items they have put up for sale become virtually inaccessible, this way trading would be more agile and I think it would greatly improve gameplay.

The trade page is a total disaster. 90% of the time I get no response because they're back on the trade page checking to see if their item is cheaper than it should be. This especially happens when someone messages within a few minutes of it being listed. You'll refresh and it'll be pricier. This happens ALL the time. Either have a cooldown on the item itself (24 hours) to reduce people constantly changing their prices, or remove the time listed xx minutes ago detail.

GGG, please don't automate any more trading. Currency Exchange is plenty. The new folks will come around and get used to trade in time.
I post my item low, get 40 or so messages in a few seconds. Ignore all the message and raise my item price. I repeat this process until the messages either slow or stop then take one step back in pricing and BAM pure profit. For all those people that kept messaging me over and over again, sorry, but its all about the divs. This is the way.

This is what trading is in POE 1 or 2. Of course all the bots already have it locked up.

Sucks that players have to do this but it's understandable.
I get that there are a lot of new players because of POE2, but I don't feel like engaging on a decade+ dead horse kicking contest.

Just the same, I'll post this to help inform the conversation:

It does suck, and its pathetic but this is the way that this type of trade system is setup. It should be, post an item for a price, someone buys it and thats it, once you post the item its locked in your inventory until either you sell it or take the post down.

The item would come out of your stash and the payment would go into your stash.

If you think that the way the setup is now, that people are not buying and selling with bots on the website, you are sorely mistaken.

Day before yesterday i was looking for a widowhail bow, of course no one was answering me. So i went and sorted the item by highest price first and started sending them whispers, you know what I got back as a reply? I didnt get offered to join their party to buy the item for 99999 divs, i got an automated whisper back instantly for their RMT transfer site. Instantly. All 10 people i whispered I got the same instant reply but, of course, 10 different RMT sites.

A post from 7 years ago. I would hope that some things have changed in 7 years. Because in game development time, thats centuries.
