There are trade limitations on interactions between players to help prevent cheating. This page details the limits and explains how they work.

Reduced limits
In some cases, your limit may be lower than those stated above.
High-risk networks
If you're detected to be connected from a high-risk network (for example when using a VPN), your limits are temporarily reduced to 0.
Past cheating
If you're known to have been involved in cheating previously, you may be allowed to continue playing the game with special restrictions placed on your account which in some cases means having lower trade limits than the standard ones.
Features where trade limits apply
- Auction House (creating auctions or bidding on player-created auctions)
- Trade Center (sending or receiving assets)
- RPS (deposits and withdrawals)
How to check your current trade limits and usage
To check your current trade limits and usage, go to the Statistics tab of the Auction House or Trade Center screens.
Why are trade limits needed?
Trade limits help prevent cheating including:
- Duping (creating multiple accounts to farm assets and move the assets to a single account)
- Real World Trading (buying or selling assets for real currency)
Aside from this, trade limits also reduce the power someone can gain solely from other players, e.g. having many friends forward all earnings to one person. In some cases, people have had zombie accounts (friends barely playing the game to acquire certain assets) sending assets to them.
How to avoid trade limits
You can sell assets in the Black Market for a fair market rate without consuming your trade limits.
Auctions with a black "Bid" button in the Auction House don't count towards your trade limits (these are the assets which have been sold to the Black Market in the previous days).
How to prevent someone wasting your trade limit
It's possible for someone to "waste" your trade limit, e.g. sending unwanted drugs to use up your drug limit.
To prevent this, go to the Settings screen (top right on mobile, bottom of main menu on desktop), then go to General, then change the "Automatically accept free gifts" setting.
How to prevent someone testing your trade limit
Another player may send you a small gift to see if you've reached your trade limit, e.g. to help determine your bullet stock.
To prevent this, go to the Settings screen (top right on mobile, bottom of main menu on desktop), then go to General, then change the "Automatically accept free gifts" setting.
