This is the first time to spend any money on Gaia and I noticed that there was something about item locks and 7 days. I bought somethings for use and trade with a friend, but the only thing I can seem to do with the items is equip them. If the lock is real, do I have to wait the 7 days before trading or selling?

Thanks for your attention

I've not run across this. Can you be more specific about what you bought?

You used paypal, right?
"Any PayPal account that is new or has never been used with your Gaia account is subject to a 7-day item freeze policy. During this time any item(s) bought for yourself or others with Gaia Cash can still be equipped, but cannot be sold or traded."

Yep, that warning about the 7 days was letting you know that... this would happen. The lock is real. After seven days, the lock on your items will disappear.

I'm not sure what happens if you buy other items during the 7-day freeze. But after the seven days, you should be able to use that paypal account to buy Gaia Cash on your Unk Tensor account without your items being frozen for seven days. You'll be able to sell/trade/gift the items you buy right after you buy them.





I'm going to link my source, but sometimes linking people to the Help Center page I've looked at gives the other person an error message or the wrong page. I knew of this freeze warning, I just used it to get the quote. You can click this link to see my source. If the page doesn't appear, I typed "paypal" into the search option and clicked the "why are my items frozen" topic.
