Roblox Premium required for Re-Publishing UGC Items After Initial Publication

Message:
When uploading a UGC item on Roblox, if you put it off-sale after the initial publication, the platform requires you to have Roblox Premium again to re-publish it. This is problematic, especially if the item was already published publicly and taken off-sale by mistake. Currently, I accidentally set my UGC item to off-sale, and now I’m being asked to have Roblox Premium again to re-publish it, even though the item was already published and accessible to the public before.

Expected behavior

After the first publication of a UGC item, if the creator sets it to off-sale (e.g., by mistake), they should not need Roblox Premium again to re-publish it. The Premium requirement should only apply to the initial publication, not subsequent re-publications of the same item. This would prevent unnecessary barriers for creators who accidentally set their items to off-sale and want to make them available again.

Afaik Roblox takes items automatically offsale when you lose premium, so this isn’t the only concern here, plus this is unfortunately intentional. This limitation is very annoying, though, and encourages me to not publish items to the marketplace given that it would require me to take on a constantly recurring cost just to keep items on-sale.

To upload, publish, and maintain existing content on-sale, Roblox requires users and groups to have ID verification and Premium membership. Your ID-verified account must participate in an active Premium 1000/2200 membership to keep your Marketplace items on sale after uploading and publishing.

@Abcreator Ah Thanks for pointing it! Super Helpful, marked as solved!

@bvetterdays got told in an internal server from roblox staff to post this bug, So what you say is not entirely correct, Roblox engineers are very kind people and even if a post may seem useless you will never steal their time because they are working to improve your experience on the platform.
