What is the best way to create a trade that could be WTB and WTB?

Hi

(not sure if I'm posting this on the right place...)

In some case we want to trade something only for a specific thing.
Ex: I want to sell 8

Hel for an

Ist

In those cases, we may create a WTS trade or a WTB trade.
Ex:
I could create a WTS

Hel (which would only show up on

Hel trades search)
or I could create a WTB

Ist (which would only show up on

Ist trades search)

But i would like that my trade showed up on both searches....

Nowadays, what I do is to create both trade, and when I could finish one of them I delete the other one.

Is there a better way to handle this situation?

I tend to favor the one I think most likely to happen.

But as far as I know there is no better way indeed.

There is not. If you want to address both markets/directions of the trade, you will have to create 2 trades as you are doing now.

Combining them into one wouldn't work out well even if it were technically made possible. Allowing you to select both, WTB and WTS should be easy enough from a technical perspective but you would then typically end up just confusing people with your title as they likely won't know which side of the trade you're aiming to be on.

Alternatively, it extends your title into what would basically be a full sentence (rather than just the target item), in turn making your trade harder to find as folks searching directly and only for the item(s) in question wouldn't see it anymore. Similar to what you see with semi-descriptive titles for rare/crafted trades.
