Sorry Was just scared about the deal. It may have just been the way he worded it! "yea, can u put up a junk lot so i can bid the pb first. THen i will put up 10 junk trades for 500k each. Cuz 800k junk trades raise suspicion about buying doing bad stuff and get detected"

Thanks destruct that was pretty funny lol!

They're not? I thought you were not allowed to do split trades because of scammers?

Hi, TNT! Can you please clarify whether people are allowed to do split trades or auctions? I know it creates a bad opportunity for scamming, but what choice are we left with? The limits on the Trading Post and The Auction House really need to be increased. The limits were probably created a LONG time ago, when items weren't as expensive as they are now. Could you PLEASE consider upping the limits (Maybe raising trades to 10 million NP and making auctions unlimited?). With so many items that now cost over 20mil, it leaves users in a tough position as far as how we should try to pay for them. Thanks for considering! ~_jaspeh_


Split trades and auctions are something we discourage, but will not punish you for. Basically, it's unsupported. If you lose items or NP this way, you're unlikely to get them returned (though we will, of course, freeze the scammer). Reassessing the limits is on our to-do list. We'll see if we can get the priority bumped up higher.

Is it really that hard for them to raise the limits?

Hahaha, doesn't matter if it's against the rules or not, just don't do it :V I lost like 2mil worth of items back when I was legit and like 13 years old and got absolutely nothing from it~

But then how do we buy expensive items?

Switch the neopoints into Hidden Tower items...?
Not sure if your item is worth more than like 200mil though x3
