Path of Exile 2: How to convert Premium Tab to Merchant's Tab

Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict introduced an asynchronous trade system, allowing players to purchase and sell items without having to interact with others. However, to put items for sale, you’ll need at least one Merchant’s Tab. It’s a new type of stash tab available within the microtransaction store for 40 points. Before its introduction, the Premium Tabs were the only way to trade with other players.

However, thanks to the Merchant's Tab, the Premium Tabs are no longer required. Following this change, Grinding Gear Games is allowing people to convert their Premium Tabs into Merchant’s free of cost. This guide will take you through the entire process.

Converting Premium Tabs comes with a catch (Image via Grinding Gear Games)

While the ability to convert your existing Premium Tabs into a Merchant's Tab is easy and helps you save some premium currency, there’s a catch. The conversion process isn’t available for all tabs. We mentioned ‘Eligible Premium Tabs’, which are the only tabs that can be upgraded.

If a regular tab was converted into Premium, it will not be eligible for conversion. Only those that were a direct purchase can be changed into a Merchant's Tab. Additionally, this conversion process is available only for those tabs that were purchased before patch 0.3. While the Premium Tabs are still available for purchase, you won’t be able to convert the new ones.
