What is a restock ban?
Restock bans occur when a user refreshes too many times in a shop. People who do this are commonly referred to as ‘restockers’. People who wait in shops to grab items quickly at every shop restock.
Why has this been put in place?
Due to the increasing population size in Neopia, this was put in place to give every user a chance to buy items. It began with random restocks, now it has evolved to restock bans.
I was refreshing some shop page when something got wrong, I couldn’t see shops, why?
You got a restock ban! If you refresh 5 times in 3 seconds you are banned on shops.
Can I only get that ban on normal shops?
Alongside official shops, you can get banned from refreshing the shop wizard too many times. You will however not get shop banned if you are in another user’s shop.
How long am I usually banned for?
The amount of time banned varies, but can range from fifteen minutes to hours.
Can I get frozen for getting too many restock bans?
