Why are there no items in Neopean shops?

[SuperFaxanadu]

So last night when I was restocking my shop I found that all shops in Neopia had stopped stocking items. I wake up today and find that shops are still barren! Is it something I did or have all shops in Neopia not had items for ten hours or so??

 

Thanks in advance for your wisdom! Nice to meet you all!

It is called a 'restock ban', they won't restock for you for a little while. This can vary from an hour to about 2 days or so, that's the longest I had at least. Then they will show up again.

Thanks for the information! Can restock bans lead to a frozen account?

[Kuroida]

no. It's just a way of telling you you've restocked way too many times and to make it more fair to others

Wait, why is restocking unfair? What IS restocking?

Restocking refers to the act of buying items in the non-user Neopian shops and selling them for a profit in your own shop. :yes: It's not unfair per se - it's just that TNT drops restocking bans on you if you restock for too long, to help give everyone else a more even chance.

I didn't know they could do that!! But I only try to restock (badly) on half price days so I wouldn't really know!
