So, I buy, play, and trade in a ton of games. Almost a literal ton. About a few months back, Gamestop said that they couldn't take my trades, that they had a prompt that said "Trade limit exceeded."
Okay, I said to myself. It's probably from trading in too many games in a given time frame. I'll wait a month and try and trade in again.
A month goes by, same deal. So I take the number they give me and I give it a call. They said that corporate is looking over my records and that the ban would probably be lifted at the end of May. That I should try trading in some games then.
Okay, so end of May comes I try trading in, same prompt "Trade limit exceeded." So I think, okay, I'll try and trade games at the beginning of June. Same prompt "Trade Limit Exceeded."
So I called customer service earlier today and they said that there wasn't any issues listed with trading on my account so she didn't know why corporate was involved. She said to "have the trade in balance put on to a different trade credit card."
But I don't think that was helpful because the prompt stopped the Gamestop employees from taking my trade ins before the balance was even put on my Power Up rewards account OR a trade credit card.
I may have traded in a couple copies of the same title within a small time frame. Forza 5 on One, Kinect Rivals on One, Chinatown Wars on DS, and Mario Kart DS. I KNOW I traded more than a thousand bucks worth of games in a month, so that might be it.
I don't know what to do or how long this ban will last. Anyone in the same boat that can help me with this issue? Because everyone I talk to at Gamestop is so vague about it.
