How does Path of Building behave?
Any time I enter the POESESSID I get POESESSID is invalid. I've tried logging out and getting a new ID. Tried it while PoB was open, closed. Restarted computer. Tried different browser. All these come with the same results.

What search are you trying there is a bug with selecting exarch / eater influence currently as trade site doesn't consider them influences and throws this error.
I have solved my issue but might still be worth looking at. I solved my issue because I had summon skitter bots selected as my main skill. As soon as I select RF as my main skill I was able to complete the search.
I think the best solution to this is to provide a meaningful error message if the active skill does no damage. And maybe indicate the skill name of the skill being used in weighted search if it using it's dps not full dps.
I am also having this issue with a herald of agony build, if i the trigger and poison ability - storm rain, it will generate items without an issue, but choosing the Herald of Agony link gives the invalid poesessid error that others are getting. I wonder if this is to do with multiple different attack abilities or it just doesn't like summoned pet damage
Seems like this error is a placeholder for numerous issues with the mechanic. Have same issue with 2 different builds (poison LS and flicker), selected main skill properly, checked "full dps" thingy properly, both throw "invalid sid" when i try weapon1 search with default settings and max price. (bonus: without max price, pob throws an exception) Didn't test with every single item slot yet, but out of 5 i tested - somehow helmet worked well, rest were saying "invalid sid". in case links are needed, flicker: https://pastebin.com/scqqWBev , poison ls: https://pastebin.com/WH5g54VC
"Invalid POESESSID" is a catch-all error at the moment and it is hiding the actual error. We have upcoming improvements to error handling and reporting related to this. As a workaround, include your main skill/minion in FullDPS calculation. When there are no skills included in the FullDPS calculation, it falls back to using the active skill and that's where the current issue is.
This issue also seems to occur when custom modifiers are applied - I could not search for a Body Armour, but when removing the custom modifier, it worked.
If you have a skill added to FullDPS calc, but the skill is currently unusable because you don't have a corresponding weapon equipped for the skill, then the error can also occur.
