Updates to Item Holding Periods [Marketplace]

cope they dont care and never will because look who runs it

its just a matter of time until trading fades into complete irrelevancy and the only way to acquire expensive items will be by spending ur net on robux or contributing to their revenue by deving/creating clothing etc. all hope is lost

Trading is dead. If you haven’t gotten your favorite items already you’re probably never going to get them now.

now a new trader who buys an item has to wait a WEEK before being able to trade then after making a trade has to wait 2 days to be able to trade it again. a new trader can only make 10 trades in a month at the most, you then have to fine someone whos item isnt in a holding period aswell making your options for trading super limited.

why cant roblox just add an usd market themselves lol (18+ probably) it would attract way more people

What they could have done is only add a holding period for trades with unbalanced RAP, like a 100 rap item for a 100k rap item, because it’s obvious if someone is being compromised or USD selling. Adding a holding period for every trade just completely destroys the economy and makes it impossible for new traders to make any profit.

YES that was I was saying a while ago. if theres a 50% difference then there should be a hold, like how there is a verification for 50% difference trades

i thought the same at first but then i realized people would just be able to do it via several trades such as giving a 100k item for a 70k item then the 70k item for a 40k item etc

however they could add a 1 hour hold period to regular trades like these and it wouldve probably been fixed i cant rlly think rn

Stop Spreading Misinformation

THE INCEPTION TIME SCREENSHOT IS FAKE AND HAS BEEN DECLARED BY INCEPTION TIME HIMSELF ON TWITTER TO A REPLY, THERE HAS BEEN NO PUBLIC STATEMENT BY ANYONE AT THE MARKETPLACE ON ROBLOX BY PRIVATE OR PUBLIC AS OF NOW

Roblox is yet to make a statement and NO admin has so far, stop spreading misinformation all of you and line up the facts. So far roblox has said nothing and continue to ignore us

@Roblox Stop ignoring and speak up, this has KILLED Trading and caught us in the crossfire

I REPEAT ONCE AGAIN THE SCREENSHOT GOING AROUND IS FAKED, NO ADMIN HAS DECLARED ANYTHING AS OF NOW AND NO REASON OTHER THAN “INTERNAL DATA” HAS BEEN REVEALED TO THE PUBLIC, DONT SPREAD MISINFORMATION BECAUSE HALF OF YOU ARE

Several fake screenshots in a single day ? yall fall for things to easy. Learn the facts.

Also So Far @Roblox this feature is tragic, it should be changed to a few hours, never has it been so clear that roblox have no clue how to run a company and the marketplace team are scared fr to reply.

As expected, the holding period update has made a ton of traders quit/panic and has lead to many items selling low. Despite hundreds of people replying with negative feedback they’ve decided to add it anyways. Hopefully Roblox can at least loosen up the hold period in certain conditions (rap difference, size of trade, etc).

This did not age well…

yeah roblox clearly dont care about this at all, if their moderation really wanted they would monitor stock servers since they’re public anyway and terminate anyone who usd buys/usd sells

As a former trader with two years of experience, I can confidently say that this update brings a sense of security to limited item ownership. Throughout my trading journey, I’ve witnessed various challenges and risks associated with the market dynamics. However, with this new update, I feel much safer and more assured owning limited items.

The limitation on selling and trading ensures a more controlled and stable market environment. It minimizes the chances of encountering scammers or falling victim to fraudulent trades, which used to be a concern in the past. As a result, I can now focus on enjoying the collection aspect of limited items without worrying about potential risks.

Additionally, from a trader’s perspective, the increase in scarcity due to restricted trading will likely lead to a rise in demand and, consequently, an appreciation in the value of limited items. This presents a promising opportunity for both collectors and traders to enjoy greater returns on their investments over time.

In conclusion, as a former trader, I applaud this update for its positive impact on both security and the overall limited item market. It instills confidence in the community, allowing us to relish the joy of owning these unique items without undue concern.

this better be satire lol

there are several more ways roblox could’ve fixed its current flaws

3 step for suspicious trades:
email code; auth code; phone code (such as what most crypto exchanges do)

30 min-1 hour hold for any trade (this would prevent gambling, and make blackmarketing way less appealing and riskier)
