While reports for this have existed in the past, as well as threads on it here, the trading system in the last couple of days has been seriously bugged, causing tons of requests to fail on the trading page to show a limited number of Completed / Inactive trades.
The major issue here, that has not been fixed after years of being an issue, is the ‘UUC glitch’.
This is known as a RNG issue with trading, where if you send a trade to someone, and they accept it, there’s a slim chance that they will receive your items, but you won’t receive yours. While lots of traders are honest, and will trade back your items due to this severe trading bug, there have been many cases of traders running off with the other parties’ items - sometimes over hundreds of thousands of value in loss, and the only chance to get this back is by emailing Roblox Support - something we know is already extremely tedious and usually doesn’t help in many cases - my last several messages to support have not helped whatsoever, and it feels like they don’t have a clue as to what I’m talking about, meaning my issue never really gets resolved.
The final straw to push myself to make this report today is I was just UUC’d today, and this isn’t actually my first time, luckily my first it just took a couple of minutes to process. Here, the trade was created, the items were processed, but I didn’t receive their item(s), and the trade just doesn’t appear anymore - not in Processing, not Completed, nor Inactive. I simply lost over 1,400,000 robux of value in a snap due to the UUC bug.
For reference, the trade that was done is shown below - I didn’t receive STF (Sparkle Time Fedora), but they received every item on my side (Red Grind+).
For a reference to the UAIDs, here’s my Rolimon’s profile, which has history dates of which items I lost. I’ll be working to get my items back for now through support (hopefully), but I wanted to report just how critical this issue is.
Expected behavior
I expect for the trading errors to be resolved that have happened for the last couple of days, but this thread is mostly concerning the state of trading today, and how risky it is to just lose your items like that due to a bug which has existed for several years now. I hope that the UUC bug can be properly fixed, and that the loss of millions of value for users who use the trading system and were a victim of this issue can have their loss of items be investigated, and hopefully returned, without the need to contact Roblox support.
