Is there any other d2 trading forum sites other than jsp ?
There are other sites that work like tradierie and diablo io.
There are other forums, but trading isn’t big there.
There are discords too.
But you don’t need anything other than JSP for the most part and why bother with inferior products?

I am using Traderie as well. But you have to be ready to spend a lot of time to trade something there.
Nothing is going to ever match the speed of JSP.
Traderie and Diabloio operate in a similar way but are slow.
Discord tends to be quicker in trades than traderie/diabloio, BUT you will find so very few trades because the lack of eyes and how their channels are setup.
In game is rarely worth the effort unless you’re doing a known item:item trade. Even then though you’re wasting your time to try and do that. Better to be off doing something else and put a post up somewhere rather than sit in a trade game.
Its nice to not support RMT.
Although you don’t add dollars into the RMT dumpster fire, the fact that you’re willing to exchange items for their internet coins give their fake currency value.

Well, thankfully JSP isn’t RMT.
And the fake currencey’s value isn’t going away because you don’t use it. Beyond that it’s real value is just that it helps make trades smooth.
But Blizzard itself seemingly supports actual RMT sites, so why are you so concerned with a site that really isn’t RMT?
You asked a question, why someone would use a different trading platform.
You and the other people here can keep taking the copeium that JSP isn’t RMT.
You guys probably don’t think cryto is currency either lol.

None with a currency, all the others are for item>item trading.
I know what I asked. You responded I responded. We’re good.
JSP in no way compared to the sites that advertise in game. Not even in the least bit. But you don’t shout their names 24/7. You don’t even know their names even though they’re spammed in game more than JSP ever would be. So, chances are the real reason you don’t like it is because of some sort of followers movement you’re drone to. Perhaps your favorite streamer doesn’t like it or perhaps you don’t like that the users are ahead of you. Or perhaps you don’t like how they’re obnoxious in your trade games that you sit in for hours on end. I get the other reasons from a follower-type personality. Parrot the boss that doesn’t even know you exist or perhaps hate em cuz you can’t keep up. Thats cool, but pretending it is equal to actual RMT is a huge stretch.
I don’t do the whole crypto thing. It’s weird I hate it. Don’t really think it is currency or a valid investment either. Regardless those clowns made it hard for me to upgrade my PC, so it makes me angry. See how I can admit the real reason why I don’t like crypto and not use some fake coverup to mask my true feelings?
In addition to the places mentioned, I’ve also found trades on the official forum Trade section, and reddit. PureDiablo has a price check tool, so I’m sure they have a trade forum as well, but haven’t registered over there.
I don’t know any top ladder players that actively use JSP because it’s so frowned upon - for example, Teo’s team donated about 3 or 4 Bers all found by the team to gear Teo with Infinity and Griffons - nothing from JSP.
And sure there are some high ladder players or streamers with legacy accounts on JSP but they know it’s absurd to start seasons with wealth and most of their chat doesn’t like the taint of JSP, so all the top finishes so far in D2R have been donos where there’s some reasonable record of who dropped what and where. With Llama in S2, he was donated high CD DFathom and Nwing as example. Teo as mentioned was dono’d quite a bit by his team. Actually Lamma found a lower-CD fathom on his own but ended up using a dono’d higher CD Fathom to finish.
JSP is for clowns that don’t want a level playing field and don’t really understand the team aspect of D2 or even what a level playing field is when it comes to starting with wealth. And it’s true they allow RMT - you can slap down some dollars for FG. All in all it’s just not what gaming should be about for most gamers. It’s just been around for so long it still has a following. There are much better sites.

Jsp is the best site for trading. Can gear up your bots quick too if you dabble in that
Tried them all. They all suck except for d2jsp unless you like waiting half a day for each trade.
Everyone on those crappy sites during first week:
Jah/ber/coa/etc FS! “Make offer” has zero idea what they want, forced to sift through offers of 26 res vipers, goldwraps, a bunch of ko and fal, etc…great system folks!

I had someone try to debate me on other sites being nearly as quick on this forum once. They now use JSP. Like you cannot conceive how much faster trading is and how quickly you can get back to the game.
Now all those other crappy sites it really isn’t their fault that their trades are slow. I don’t really care for their organization setup, but that isn’t the point I need to make. They cannot be blamed cuz there is no common currency there. Nothing gets done because they’re trying to figure out what the worst crappy offer for their item does for them or waiting for an overpayment because they don’t need half of what is offered in a trade.

By definition, the ideal fastest trade will always be slower on JSP because it has an extra step - depositing fg in someones account. That extra step is also why there are threads all over JSP saying “What to do when you get scammed”. You can deposit fg into someone’s account and they can literally just keep your fg unless you take action and involve a mod. Scams happen. If they didn’t happen, there wouldn’t be “What to do when you’ve been scammed” threads everywhere.
My guess would be I’ve used JSP far longer than most but with the start of D2R I changed to using the trifecta of diablo2IO, TRaderie and pub games. If you have a brain, all 3 of those methods are very fast depending on what items you’re selling. On Traderie and diablo2IO you just msg the person before bidding to check if they’re available. If they don’t respond immediately you just go next and very quickly you find someone to trade with.
Diablo2IO has 92,000+ members already and they apparently just started a couple years ago. If JSP was all it was cracked up to be you wouldn’t see that kind of explosive growth on other sites and I believe Traderie has an even larger user base but they don’t have user numbers that I could see.
My advice, unlike some of the people in this thread that obviously have a JSP agenda is just to try the other sites and see for yourself - it’s easy to try each they’re all free to sign up. Just remember to get quick trades on diablo2IO and traderie you need to just msg before bid and you’re good - traderie even has a green/red icon to see if people are online or offline but I’d still recommend msg’ing first.
And just to add information, d2jsp was founded and started on botting - a plague on the community in terms of ruining server performance with so many bots, violating TOS/EULA, and so on. Their community started with thousands of botters many of which still operate and trade much more actively on JSP than other sites. Their site is also a business that doesn’t run on advertising unlike the others - they NEED the RMT and they GET the RMT - the site isn’t a charity, they would just shut it down if enough people weren’t paying real money for fg and obviously that’s happening.

d2jsp is the oldest and has the most members, but the infrastructure of the site is completely dated. People stick to d2jsp because of the sunk cost caused by fg. The site is 15 years overdue for a makeover.

Not sure about who has the most members.
You’re right it looks outdated, but it has the features people need to trade quickly, so I don’t mind. And it’s infrastructure is just fine if it has the necessary features.
People don’t stick to it because they’re so invested in their particular FG bank, but because of how easy FG makes trading. It is 100% due a makeover agreed tho.
But IMO traderie and daibloio both look awful too. I also don’t like their item lookup tool, but maybe thats because a while back it didn’t work all the way properly. Maybe they’ve improved a bit by now.
Traderie and diabloio come with features that d2jsp should adopt. PoD is a private server project with probably the sleekest trading board I’ve ever seen. Fg is a huge advantage for d2jsp to retain usership because it’s like keeping a bank account. However efficient d2jsp is, it could quite easily be better, but it’s been leaning on retention from FG balances and I find it lazy that they haven’t updated from what is just a forum.
If it aint broke… The site is the oldest and thats the generation that use it, so makes full sense it would stick with a simple forum, that works.
ITs also one of if not the most active for trading, you get trades 10x faster and far less hassle with FG than item bartering. Thats why players use it.
They could be even faster by updating to an actual trade board as opposed to a standard forum format. There are more compact ways to compile the data. D2jsp has a “too big to fail” energy to its site features.
