It should be a rolling 30 Day period. If your June-July rolling period total is somewhere around $1997, it's easily conceivable that you went over the $2k limit and there's one or two receipts unaccounted for or something. The 90 days should start from the date of the ban-trade not the notification. Also, there was talk of bans not going into effect until the first day of the following calendar month after your ban-able offense (so if you went over the limit in June/July period the ban wouldn't begin until August 1st). This might explain the delay in potential bans for members stating they've gone over $2k and haven't been affected yet.
Hmm, went over everything, not missing any trade receipts that I can tell, did find 2 purchase receipts that I had misplaced but those didn't have any trades on them lol. Looking further, my mid-June trades of $108 shouldn't've counted coz I didn't trade again until July 24, so I got banned at $68.3 cash + $1825.2 credit = $1889 total. I didn't do just games, I also did Apple products since Target had that Apple sale, not sure if that sent any red flags though I had GS receipts for all of them. My last successful trade on 07/31 was over $500 credit and the trade ban notification popped up on 08/11 after my games were scanned (if successful, that would've put me into ban territory lol) as well as my DL info was entered in... trade ban notification didn't show up when my PUR acct was scanned & games were scanned.
So yes I created $1889 in 8 days, maybe that was too much in such a short time period & accts get flagged for trading in too much in 1 wk??? Did anyone trade in more than $1889 in 1 wk?
Must've been banned on 08/01 then if it is indeed at the beginning of each month lol.
Yeah but $1825 will get you almost 1,000 crunchy tacos at Taco Bell
1,000 tacos = free Taco Bell for life = winning
Seriously though, starlight another thing to not overlook is that much trade activity is bound to get you into the store often enough that a jr. detective could decide to look up your account and report it to LP. As eswal said, you also have to assume you properly accounted for every single trade/receipt which gets a little cumbersome when you get that high.
Scary lol, the GA that did my trades on 07/31 made some faces after scanning my PUR card & strangely remembered how much I had on my Trade card from my last visit the previous week when I purchased stuff. Recently all the GAs have swapped stores in this area. Even when I throw on glasses, I'm recognized from a previous visit where I did not don any, like how that GA recognized me
where my previous visit consisted of purchases only & none of my trades were brought in the previous visit anyways.
That must've been a Jr. Detective lol.
Is there a way to know if an acct was banned coz it was reported to LP or coz I had just hit some weird unknown limit that we haven't figured out yet? I'm getting the feeling that I traded in too many Apple products in 1 wk but IDK since I never actually got to the $2k level before being hit.
Just did a ~$60 cash trade today, still no ban. Pretty sure we can at least conclude that the cash limit during cash=credit promos is higher than $2k, which means there probably is no cash limit during them.
So the cash limit is separate than the trade limit? Thought it was $2k total? Interesting lol coz I only got $68.2 in cash & was hit with the ban hammer with $1825.2 in credit =/
If all the reports are accurate, I'd bet on it being $600. I haven't kept track of my own self the last 30 days but I'm below that and since I did a combination of credit/cash and threw away my receipts I'm just going to stick with credit only for the next month to be safe. Now I wish I kept my receipts since the mobile site isn't going to help here lol.
If I got banned over a measly $80, I'd quit this site completely.
Not sure yet but looks like I got banned for a lil under $70 cash lol.
Welp i dun goofed. Went to a different store to do a last set of Deadpools, didnt notice the guy from my first store hiding in the corner.
He denied the trade but accepted my other stuff. So i went to a different store, apparently he called there before I got there and a person called me out on it, but was cool and still accepted the trades. Glad the same as credit deal ends tomorrow, since I don't plan to do much trading and can lay low.
Probably got flagged from him being a Jr. Detective, but whatever.
Thought it was just my region with GAs swapping stores... within the last few wks, GAs in this area are all at different stores lol.
Hopefully we don't have to start dressing up in costumes to buy & trade roflmao.
