I saw advertisements on several of the YouTubers and figured it was legit. Banned for a year. They should go after those sites not the customers who buy their game. I’ve bought 2 legit $100 bundles already. Was looking to save a dollar.
️How much did you buy from the site? Just curious

Out of curiosity how does that work? When you buy stubs elsewhere? I've seen the ads and know I can't do it but how do you get the stubs?
What do they do, hack the show to get them to you?
-
If we take the OP at their word and they only sold single Trout card then the ban was unwarranted given the weirdness that happened the other day.
Of course as someone else mentioned that SDS can look at all of our transactions so I am leaning on there being more to this story than a single card sale.
-
If you sell anything for 100% profit in stubs you deserve the punishment.

What do you mean? Are you saying if you don't pay the tax? How is that possible? What else would you sell a card for if not profit? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, just trying to understand your point.

After reading this, I am more sure than ever that I will continue my approach of playing the previous year's version until fall, then get the newest version for a discount. By then all this market craziness has died down and it is a whole lot easier to build a good team by then without spending boatloads of real money on stubs or hours playing the 'market'. If this market is going to be so problematic, maybe it is time to remove it from the game. And I don't want to hear about how SDS makes needed money from selling stubs. They are wholly owned by Sony itself, so I don't think they need that little bit of extra cash.

Yeah Sony is going to be like "Yeah we don't want extra cash (not a little bit, I would bet at least 50% of sales, games like Madden/Fifa make more money on microtransactions then by selling the game"

Well like I said, this outfit is owned by the Sony Corporation, unlike EA sports or some other specialty company that only develops and sell video games. Sony is a monster and don't need the cash.
ETA: what they really need to do is fix their issues with being able to manufacture enough PS5 units to supply the market. That is a real embarrassment on their part.

Businesses don't normally go, "Eh we don't need a few million"
Just because they "don't" need it, doesn't mean that they would forgo it.

I think selling things for twice their value might have something to do with it. I can understand the allure, but don't do it.
Their value is whatever the market says it is.
No, and that is the problem. When "fake" money (stubs) flow into the market then the market has become corrupted.

Okay fine but THAT is on SDS for allowing the glitch to happen in the first place. This was NOT an issue where stub sellers caused the market to do this.

What in the world is wrong with you? If I buy a uniform for 1000 stubs and sell it for 2200 then you think I deserve to be banned?

This is nuts i never got a warning or anything now im banned for the entire year?

This is a s-show

Your warning was when you first fire up the game; all that text that we all breezed through and accepted in order to play... in that text is where they lay out the rules. Don't buy stubs from 3rd party websites is in there.

@ccarr77_psn said in Account Banned:
If SDS is banning folks because of their lack of market security that's the bow on top of this great gift of a game. I can hear the Benny Hill music playing in the background now.
Yeah, if this is legit that is absolutely absurd.

@justinlarson_psn said in Account Banned:
So I log on today to discover my account has been banned for market manipulation / stub transferring.... I'm wondering if this is because I sold a live series Trout the other day for 579k stubs?... I packed him on the 18th and was holding him as long as I could to sell high... on Monday I saw that his price was all over the place, so I tossed him up for 579k... he sold, the following day my account was banned.
Any suggestions on how to get unbanned?

I mean, how is he or any of us for that matter supposed to know what is going on with the market if it is in fact that? There is ZERO communication from sds about anything.
Yeah an innocent party logging in and going "holy F***!" and selling high...that's no fault of their own...we all sit on cards hoping their value goes up. Unless you were part of the actual problem, and from what I've heard(rumours and heresay), it was a small handful of morons that caused it
