Path of Exile 2 — Marketplace Safety Guide
Buying and selling safely in Path of Exile 2
Trading accounts or buying boosting and coaching services carries real risk, because money and account access change hands between strangers. A little caution prevents most problems. Whether you're buying a head start or selling your time as a coach, the same principles apply: verify everything, use protected payment, and never rush.
Common scam patterns
Scammers rely on speed and trust. Watch for these patterns on any platform:
- Off-platform payment requests. "Pay me directly" or "use this link instead" removes every protection you have.
- Prices that are too good to be true. Deeply underpriced accounts or boosts are bait.
- Pressure and urgency. "Offer ends in 10 minutes" exists to stop you thinking.
- No verifiable history. Brand-new profiles with no reviews and no track record.
- Refusal to use escrow. A legitimate seller has no reason to avoid protected payment.
- Account "recovery" risk. A sold account can sometimes be reclaimed by the original owner, leaving the buyer with nothing.
Red flags before you commit
Ask clear questions and expect clear answers. Confirm exactly what's included, how delivery works, and what happens if something goes wrong. Keep all communication and proof of the deal in one place. If a seller dodges questions or wants to move the conversation somewhere private, walk away.
Why escrow matters
Escrow holds the buyer's payment until the agreed item or service is actually delivered. Neither side can simply take the money and disappear: the buyer's funds are protected until they confirm receipt, and the seller knows the money is committed before they hand anything over. This single mechanism removes most of the risk from a transaction between strangers.
Using AllMyGG's marketplace
AllMyGG's marketplace gives Path of Exile 2 players a safer way to trade. It uses escrow with buyer protection, so payment is held until both sides complete the deal, and the team reviews listings before they go live to filter out obvious scams. That doesn't replace your own judgement — keep communication on-platform, verify details, and report anything suspicious — but it does add a meaningful layer of protection that direct, off-platform deals simply don't have.
