Its a nice idea, but the problem is that this would encourage players to sell them to other players, either for real money or in game gold. If they sell them for gold, then its akin to goldselling, since they paid money for the item and got game gold for it. If its for RL money, then its selling game content for money, which is against TOS. I wish I could trade my skeletal wolf for someone's skeletal horse, but its not really worth opening that particular can of worms.

I'd love something like this so my bf and I can give each other motifs from the crown store we get duplicates of lol.

Will just become a P2w game tbh.

I don't understand though, lets say my husband got a face paint he didn't like and I had a costume he wanted, and we wanted to swap, with confirmation screens, wouldn't it be nice to swap what we want? I don't see how it could be pay to win, help me understand your side

If they added a small crown free for each item traded, I'd be ok with that

Ya if could be as cheap as 10 crowns, I don't think I'd like to pay over 100 crowns, I would be ok with that, would the trade initiator get charged it, or both parties?

I would love to buy some crown items for gold.

With the saturation of items in the crown store, I think I'd be ok if people did this, as long as Zos allows you to report scammers, with documentation/screenshots.

Swtor could really benefit from using this system's aspects, as the credit prices for items are basically trillion-mark-wheelbarrow.

As much as I would like to buy people items as gifts, I can see that transforming to a swtor-style system really wouldn't work well in the long-run.

Now, having said that, I might be for a system which allowed you to buy things like Steam sells them (for yourself or as a gift), but then I can imagine the soaring demands from "friends" for all and sundry gifts.

For instance, there's probably someone out there who wants a Plague Husk Horse, but gets a Frost Draugr Sench they have no interest in, while elsewhere someone is in the reverse situation. Being able to trade would not only make both happy, the experience would likely compel them to purchase in the future, knowing that if they get the wrong one again they can trade it to someone else for the right one, whereas someone who buys sixty crown crates and fails is likely to be soured on the idea of ever buying another crown crate.

only if it was gifting

Will not happen. Cuts into ZOS profits.

Most defenitely, yes.

It would be complicated, open to abuse and would likely lead to a degree of lost revenue for ZOS as players seek to swap Crown Crate items rather than spend money on new crates for the chance to get said item.

That said, I would be very happy to gift any unwanted or unused cosmetic items I have to players who might find a use for them.

I would rather see an option to accept or reject items from crates that are not currently in collections. Got tattoos and an outfit that I have no use for, but now I'm stuck with them.

If done in a way that didn't lead to crowns being de facto exchanged for gold, I'd be cool with it.

yes, Star trek online and neverwinter (i think) already allows selling items bought with premium currency for in-game common currency in the exchange/Auction house, so why not in ESO?
