Suggestion Regarding Trade Safety in Path of Exile 2

Dear Development Team,

Many players have repeatedly encountered fraudulent behavior in the trade system, where the same items are listed multiple times despite being corrupted, damaged, or of a different quality than intended, and offered at exorbitant prices.

For example, a player may intend to purchase a white Tier 14–15 map for 5 Exalted Orbs. While quickly scrolling through listings, it may appear correct, but due to the similarity of currency icons or naming, the player could accidentally purchase the item for 5 Divine Orbs, 5 Perfect Fossils, or even more—sometimes 20 or even 50 valuable currency items. If the player has this amount available, the transaction is completed, leading to significant losses.

My suggestion:
Please consider implementing a confirmation prompt when purchasing items with high-value currency, starting from Orbs of Alchemy and above (such as Exalted Orbs, Chaos Orbs, Divine Orbs, Orbs of Annulment, Mirrors of Kalandra, etc.).

For example, the system could display a message:
“Are you sure you want to purchase this item for 20 Divine Orbs?”

The item name itself does not need to be listed; instead, the warning could be highlighted in yellow to draw attention.

I truly hope this feature will be considered, as it would greatly improve trade safety and reduce the impact of scams.

Please note that while some may attempt to dismiss or mock this suggestion, I kindly ask that any offensive or insulting remarks made in response be treated with responsibility.

No need to make it so complicated, just make it a requirement to have the currency in your inventory instead of taking it from your stash. A bit less comfortable, sure, but if you don't have any divs in your inventory you can't accidentally spend them...
If you have two currency tabs in your Stash, the trade system can only see the leftmost one. You can put trade currency there, and your "untouchable" currency in the other one.
SSF Rise of the Abyssal Ice Strike Invoker, high survivability and fast clear speed. Deprioritize armor and resistances; prioritize crafting a weapon and faster start of ES recharge. Build is shown at level 47, end of Act 3. It tore through Act 3 like butter.
