Incoming Adjustment to 'Pending Sales' Waiting Period

Now that the new “users have to be in the group for x time” update released will the pending sales period change? I don’t see a reason to have both of these features at the same time. :pleading_face:

I know, old thread but NOBODY liked/likes this update. You guys do updates that benefit devs only most of the time and not even devs like myself liked this update. You could atleast put a indicator to tell us how long it takes for the robux to roll in. Having no specific wait time is just wrong.

I am disgusted that Roblox has not even adressed this issue. Feels like roblox is a bigger scammer than the “hackers” we are trying to protect the developers from.

Many groups I am in fund people who can not afford the group uniform. This has proven to be near impossible since this update.

RIDICULOUS IDEA

Instead of extending the period to receive the Robux, you could come up with an idea on how to prevent those “frauds or abuses” instead of punishing all the group owners who have nothing to do with that stuff.

How about creating an additional check system for payouts, if it is so necessary - maybe based on checking alternative accounts that receive a lot of Robux and look after Roblox players who do this kind of black marketing?

My opinion about this update is that this will not help any of us. Firstly, this will officially ruin small communities formed up by groups that payout their members for uniforms/hats/events. Secondly, new groups will now face further difficulties to even start their projects. It was already enough to wait 3 days to receive the Robux and gather people around to create a good game. Thirdly, I believe that this will make the process of developing games slower and more inefficient. Finally, as far as I know there is also a 14-day delay placed on new users before they can recieve funds from the group. . .

Would it not be a good idea to ensure that accounts under 30 days old can’t receive funds? I think that it sounds good in terms of preventing fraud :laughing: :joy:

This kind of makes no sense. I mean, what’s stopping a site that sells robux unofficially from just waiting 7 days? For extra security, you should make a system where you need to reach a certain value (sales, place visits, trust, etc) to be able to sell and gain robux from this, so people who buy robux off of sus sites can’t just alt. I dont see what waiting up to 7 days would do, all they would have to do is wait and they got their robux.

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.
