Pending sales as seen on the My Transactions page
Pending sales is an anti-abuse/anti-fraud measure on Roblox that delays/holds transactions for up to 30 days[1] depending on the transaction amount. The feature is designed to protect users from scams and other types of malicious activity on the platform. Additionally, it prevents how much a scammer may earn from their operations, with Roblox being able to take back the pending Robux at any time.
Originally the holding period was three days after an item was sold. On October 27th, 2020 (after announcing it previously on October 20th[2]), this was changed to a holding period ranging from three to seven days depending on the risk of fraud or abuse. They state the reasoning for this change as one of their many steps to improving safety and security by increasing their window to catch and shut down suspicious activity on the platform. As of April 2022[3], the holding period has increased up to 30 days, though this appears to only occur with large payments.
Currently, Roblox UGC Takes 14-30 days to stop the hold of the Robux transaction.
