Trading is dead. UGC was the nail in the coffin, almost all the most demanded expensive limiteds have UGC replicas absolutely destroying the value of these items. Trading doesn’t fit with Roblox’s corporate plan they will slowly kill it.

Easily one of the worst updates. Wanted to do some small trading, forgetting about this update, and it’s near impossible. As so many others have said, trading is so fast-paced, and in the span of 2 days, values can drop immensely. It’s especially hard if you’re someone who wants to flip, like me. If you’re new to trading, good luck, because the likelihood of your first items value dropping is high. ROBLOX killed off such a large community just like that, and something makes me feel like it was on purpose.

Please revert this update. Accounts are still getting compromised and the 2-7 holding period does nothing

Most likely they want to kill trading because it doesn’t fit in Roblox’s safe and corporate future for a variety of reasons. Trading (used to be) is the 2nd main reason people get premium other than getting more robux per dollar so it doesn’t make a lot of sense but Roblox might be compesentating for this by pushing devs to implement premium only features in their games. UGC limiteds are a whole different issue because they can never maintain value and its market is saturated.

Hello, please revert this update, the holding period is really unneccessary. Trading should not have a holding period because it is very fast paced, the selling holding period is fine but the robux shouldn’t pend especially after a 7 day hold.

Have to agree with this, was a big trader back in the days but re-entering the game now, am completely appalled by the changes made to the trading system.

technically this doesnt enhance “user safety”.
say u get compromised and the person who compromised your account steals your stuff. yes theres a holding period on the items before it can be traded again but the bottom line is, he has ur items lol.
this change is apalling, i’m not sure what the marketing team was thinking before releasing this. while user safety is a huge concern, this is not the right way to go about it.
in terms of marketing, the trading community has DRAMATICALLY declined in the last year which in effect has lowered premium / robux sales. that aint so good for roblox stock lol. resuming on from that, say you email roblox. let’s say it takes a day for the amazing staff to respond to your email about receiving a rollback. in the case that your items were stolen, typically it takes 3 days on average to rollback your items. now there is a holding period for 2 days. by the time u get onto the rollback department the compromiser has either:
A. sold your items for real world currency therefore breaking the roblox TOS.
or
B. traded them off to someone else and that holding period would be deemed “useless”.
now i’m not encouraging roblox to increase the holding period at all whatsoever, that’s not the goal. if this is for safety it doesn’t make any logical sense unfortunately.
before i used to get around 30-50 trades a day on average and now im lucky to get around 5. thats a 60-80% decline. the majority of consumers who purchased premium used it for TRADING. premium / builders club used to be a membership full of perks. now i’m not sure if there’s any.
ive said enough. this feature needs to be reverted or altered significantly. while the verification for accepting a trade is great; it doesnt defeat danger. maybe make it so that the player has to have their own UNIQUE password for accepting a trade that’s different from their account password so that in the case that you were compromised, the compromiser still needs another password to steal / sell the items. in this case the authenticator works well for the trading/buying/selling part.

remove the holding period or at least remove it for items under 100k RAP to make trading possible for small traders

This is absolutely pointless, please just remove that holding period or atleast shorten the amount of time to just a few hours.
I bought premium just to do trading but now i gotta wait 2/7 days just to trade again? Nah.

Trade hold has single handedly destroyed the joy of trading. Not only does it disincentivize traders to make more risky trades, you also run the risk losing rap/value in those 2 days of holding. I can understand why it was put in place, but why does it have to be so long? It really kills the thrill of making quick trades to gain value.

On top of that, it did not do its job very well if at all to stop scamming, usding, etc. completely pointless update to pretend they are taking action on scams, as all companies do to avoid trouble. Useless update please god revert this
