Incoming Adjustment to 'Pending Sales' Waiting Period

It doesn’t make sense at all

some of my friend purchased my gamepass that costs 2 robux and i earned 1 by waiting for 6 days

plus I’d rather having 3 days pending than this kind of delay

On Behalf of my Small RPG/Warfare Based GOT Community, I can confirm that this does indeed hinder many vital aspects of development and positive progress to some extent.:negative_squared_cross_mark:

This update is outrageous. This is really hurting my commisions. I had to run after my commisioners for two entire weeks just for the payment to go through. Please revert this change

We don’t even have a way to buy game badges with personal robux if the game has as owner the group, and thats not all I got a warning by making a shirt to let me pass my robux (losing another 30%) to my group because it was a “scam” and now that i lost like 30% of my robux because i needed to use dev products i need to wait 3-7 days to make the badges and then finally start sponsoring, i had though starting sponsoring yesterday but it seems that i wont be able to do that until the next tuesday

The very least they could do is respond to what we are saying. Anything.

I still don’t understand why they haven’t done anything to fix this update after all the backlash.
This is hurting small developers big time, I see no need in this update as it literally won’t be any positive changes. Fraud is still here and will continue to be here and there’s nothing you can do to get rid of it.
The only thing that has been achieved by this update, is slow the process down with impact on other developers that don’t have a single thing to do with the illegal activities.

It’s much easier to just do this instead of providing a versatile system for refunding purchases and dealing with scams.
Should have gotten used to decisions like this by now.

Much easier for the moderation team at expense of developers.

I mean, good thing they upped the percentage by a lot for premium payouts, and that the group funds pending only went from 3 days to 5 days of wait time.

This is a pretty good update but there’s one problem, I need to pay my developers and now it might take way longer to pay them.

How do you think this is good? There is nothing that is good by this, as now it takes longer to receive payments, and that gets very annoying.

What the heck is roblox thinking, it is already annoying enough to have pending tobux, but now making the matter even WORSE, WE HAVE TO WAIT SUCH A LONG TIME…

Look, this pending sales thing is complete insert bad word. Seriously making it longer didn’t make a difference in the slightest, it just ruined even more, it would be better if it was removed and replaced with a better system instead of having to wait an entire week for 12 robux, its just cringe.

the only good thing really is that it needs to be verified but at the same time it sucks because you need to get it verified to even use it

Ever since this update came out, this had made me groan in an absolute pain. Knowing payments are delayed, and take a long LONG time to be given.

This is the most outrageous, obnoxious, and most stupid update.

I really have to wait an entire MONTH to receive my money which is an absolute pain. I have to pay developers out and all that I’m seeing on my revenue page is “Your funds were recently transferred and are being verified. Please try again later.”

I get you’re trying to stop USD sales, but in reality, you will never be able to. Punishing legitimate developers who are making thousands of robux off of their games only to have to wait a month to get their revenue because the robux has to be “verified”.

In the end, this update is pointless. Every USD seller will find SOMEWAY to bypass your system. Use your talent to make something else more useful instead of this annoyance of an update. We already have to wait a week to get our revenue, but it’s whatever.

Also to Roblox Staff: I don’t care if I’m coming off as rude to you. You put developers through enough crap and some of you cannot take criticism at all. Work on providing better updates that will benefit the community more. Oh and by the way, I would be heavily surprised if any staff member is reading this. I know most of you couldn’t give a care in the world about what everyone is saying in this post.

Preach!

On a serious note, I recently wanted to do commissions and such but keep getting discouraged because I feel that people are at a loss of how to pay people anymore since it takes so long. People just don’t want to wait 7+ days for a shirt or even longer for a group because it means that technically the developer can delay it since they hadn’t received the funds yet and would be a while until they did. Group payouts themselves may be instant but joining a group and waiting for a month is not. Shirts take 7+ days. I really dislike this update. Bad, bad Roblox.

Just to prove the insanity of this update, this 1 robux has been pending for… 4-5 days now?

Wow! It is really crappy to see that Roblox hasn’t said a damn word one on this topic, even though the developers that they’re supposed to be listening to have made it clear that this update is not okay! How are we supposed to pay developers for our games?! How is the economy going to function like this?! Roblox is shooting itself in the back by continuing to ignore the developer community about such a completely idiotic rule!

I’m ready to up and leave Roblox at this point. They’ve demonstrated a complete lack of care for what we have to say.

I’m going to say this, if they didn’t want us to give suggestions, they wouldn’t have added it to ROBLOX

Never mind. Sorry @FreakingHulk. Hopefully they will change some stuff.

Though to stay with the topic, yes this is very irritating. I barely make any money with my group, yet I can’t give myself any robux from my group. Please ROBLOX, could you set the time down a bit?
