Roblox Trading: Limiteds, Robux Fees, and Trade Rules in

Updated November 6, 2026

Roblox trading lets players swap Limited and Limited U items with each other, with Roblox taking a 30% fee on any Robux included in a trade, and trades being completely final once accepted. Roblox’s own description: “Trading lets you swap items with other players. Instead of buying an item from the Marketplace, you offer one of your items (and, if you want, some Robux) to another player in exchange for an item of theirs.” This guide pulls every verified trading rule from Roblox Support, including the 30% fee, the 50% Robux cap, and the trade quality filter. Verified on 6 November 2026.

What you can and cannot trade

Roblox is specific about what trading covers:

• Limited and Limited U items created by Roblox.
• Robux added to a trade (within specific limits explained below).

Everything else — including UGC items not in the Limited category, game passes, developer products, and anything player-created — cannot be traded through the official system. Roblox’s instruction for checking a specific item: “To check if you can trade an item, open the item’s details page and look at the Tradable field: Yes means you can trade it.”

Limited versus Limited U

Roblox explains the two tiers:

• Limited: “First sold like a normal item, with no strict limit on how many were made. Once it goes off-sale, it becomes collectible.”
• Limited U (“Limited Unique”): “Sold in a fixed number of copies. Each copy has a unique serial number (like #45 of 100), so you know exactly which copy you own.”

Both are collectible but Limited U carries the extra prestige of a numbered serial. On the Marketplace, items display their Limited or Limited U tag under the item’s picture or on the item’s details page.

Requirements to trade

Roblox lists four requirements for both sides of a trade:

1. Complete an age check. “All users must complete an age check to trade. This is required to send, accept, and counter trades, and applies to everyone — with or without Roblox Plus.”
2. Have a Roblox Plus subscription. “You need an active Roblox Plus subscription (or a legacy Roblox Premium subscription) to trade.” Players with the discontinued Premium subscription still have trade access.
3. Enable trading and inventory visibility. Settings → Privacy & content restrictions → Trading & inventory. Turn on both inventory visibility and trading.
4. Be in a supported region. “Trading is currently not available for users in South Korea.”

A limited-time US promotion lets US players make 2 free trades per month without Roblox Plus; the promotion is temporary and specific to the US region.

How many trades can you make

Roblox is specific about the count:

• With Roblox Plus: unlimited trades.
• Without Roblox Plus (US only): 2 free trades each month, resetting at the start of each month.
• Outside the US without Roblox Plus: no free trades; subscribing to Roblox Plus is required to trade.

Roblox’s framing on hitting the free limit: “If you reach your monthly limit, you can subscribe to Roblox Plus for unlimited trading, or wait until your free trades reset.”

The 30% Robux fee on trades

Roblox’s rule is explicit: “A 30% fee is taken from any Robux in a trade once the offer is accepted.”

What this means in practice:

• If you offer 100 Robux in a trade, the other player receives 70 Robux after the 30% fee.
• If you offer 1000 Robux, the recipient gets 700 Robux.
• If you offer 10000 Robux, the recipient gets 7000 Robux.

The fee is deducted from the Robux being transferred, not from the sender’s balance. The sender spends the full 100 Robux; the recipient receives 70.

The 50% Robux cap

Roblox adds a second rule on Robux in trades: “The Robux you add cannot be more than 50% of the value of the items you are offering (after the fee).”

Roblox’s example clarifies: “If your item is worth 300 Robux, you can add up to 150 Robux (after the fee).”

Breaking down the math: 150 Robux after the 30% fee = you must offer 150 / 0.70 = about 214 Robux pre-fee. So on a 300-Robux item, you can add up to about 214 pre-fee Robux (recipient gets 150 after fee).

The 50% cap prevents trades that are essentially Robux-for-items (which would turn trading into a backdoor Robux transfer system).

How to make a trade

Roblox’s five-step walkthrough:

1. Go to the profile page of the player you want to trade with.
2. Select the More button (three dots) in the top-right corner of their profile box.
3. Select Trade Items from the menu.
4. Build your offer. Your Offer is what you give; Your Request is what you want. You can mix items and Robux on both sides.
5. Select Make Offer to send. The other player gets a notification and can accept, decline, or counter.

Counters work the same way — the other player edits the terms and sends a new offer back to you.

Trades are final

Roblox’s single most important trading rule: “Once a trade is complete, it cannot be reversed, refunded, or disputed. Roblox will not undo it or return your items or Robux for any reason. Check every trade carefully before you accept.”

Three practical implications:

• Before accepting, verify the exact items and Robux on both sides. Serial numbers on Limited U items matter — a different serial is a different item.
• If you accept an unfair trade by mistake, Roblox Support will not reverse it.
• Scams designed to trick you into accepting bad trades are therefore permanent losses if they succeed.

Trade quality filter

Roblox provides a built-in filter to hide low-quality trades. Settings → Privacy & content restrictions → Trading & inventory → Trade quality filter. Levels:

• None: Receive all trade offers.
• Low, Medium, or High: Set the minimum quality. Offers below the chosen level are hidden automatically.

Roblox’s framing: “This is an easy way to reduce unfair and unwanted trade offers, especially when you are new.” Medium or High is a good default for new traders.

Trading safely

Roblox’s own trade-safety guidance:

“Only trade using the official Trade feature. Never agree to deals where you send first and ‘trust’ the other player, and never trade for real money, accounts, or items outside Roblox. Roblox cannot return items or Robux lost in deals made outside the official system.”

Three common scam patterns to avoid:

• “Send first” scams. A scammer promises to pay you after you send an item. They never do. Trade only through the official window.
• Off-platform real-money deals. Trading for cash on Discord or anywhere else violates Roblox’s Terms of Use and offers zero recovery if scammed.
• Account trading. Selling or trading accounts is prohibited; both accounts can be banned if detected.

Managing your trades

The Trade menu on roblox.com lets you track:

• Received: Offers sent to you.
• Sent: Offers you sent.
• Completed: Trades that finished.
• Closed: Trades that expired or were declined.

Open the Received tab to review and respond to incoming offers. Accept, decline, or counter from the trade details page.

Trading values and resale patterns

Three patterns experienced traders watch when valuing a Limited:

• Recent sale prices. The resellers list on the item’s details page shows current asking prices. Compare against your target value.
• Serial number significance. For Limited U items, low serial numbers (especially #1) and specific milestone numbers (#100, #50, etc.) often trade at a premium over the base item value.
• Rarity trends. Items that have been out of sale longer typically hold their value better than recent off-sale releases.

Community resources like trading forums and dedicated price-tracking sites give the clearest picture of current market values for specific Limiteds.

FAQ

What is Roblox trading?

A feature that lets players swap Limited and Limited U items with each other, optionally including Robux in the trade. Roblox’s description: trading is a substitute for buying from the Marketplace that uses items instead of (or alongside) Robux.

How much does Roblox take on trades?

30% of any Robux included in a trade. Roblox’s exact rule: “A 30% fee is taken from any Robux in a trade once the offer is accepted.” Items traded without Robux have no fee.

Can I trade on Roblox without Plus?

Generally no. Roblox Plus (or legacy Premium) is required. US players have a limited-time promotion allowing 2 free trades per month without Plus; outside the US, Plus is required.

Can trades be reversed?

No. Roblox is explicit: “Once a trade is complete, it cannot be reversed, refunded, or disputed. Roblox will not undo it or return your items or Robux for any reason.”

Why is there a 50% Robux cap?

To prevent trades from being used as Robux-for-items transfers. Roblox requires the Robux you add to be no more than 50% of the item value (after fee), ensuring the trade is still substantially item-for-item.

What is Limited U?

Roblox’s “Limited Unique” tier — items sold in a fixed number of copies, each with a unique serial number. The serial number means every copy is individually identifiable, which affects collectibility and pricing.

Why is trading not available in South Korea?

Roblox has not explicitly explained the regional restriction. South Korean regulations around digital goods trading are strict and may affect Roblox’s ability to offer the feature there. This is the only region specifically called out as unavailable.
