PS store - FYI

ranatuor · July 2016

Just a FYI, for PS peeps.
Having bought the "Dragonborn" and the "Legend of the North" packs, I didn't realise that PS store actually has a limit on how much you can top up your wallet by in any given day. Seems the UK is £100, not sure about elsewhere. Bit pants, since I was going to get some of the other packs today and when my attempt to top-up came back with credit card info is wrong (it wasn't, not changed since the day before when I topped up with said £100) and also top is unavailable (or something similar). So just in case you go crazy and want to buy all the packs...

Oh, I did ring PS store helpline btw, just to make sure it wasn't my card, they confirmed the limit above and said to give it 24 hours (from my last attempt to top-up) before trying again. I googled the issue before ringing them, seems others have come to grief over the same issue previously, never been in the situation to have it happen.

Thats funny, especially considering the prices of some of the digital special editions of games in the store

it does seem a little crazy, stopping people spending money. I can understand on a kid's machine having some sort of "child lock" on spending, but not an adult.

Be advised, the auctionhouse also has a limit to what you can spend depending on your level

Update - waited the 24 hours and I can top-up my PS store wallet again. So be advised if you are consider buying the bigger packs for Neverwinter.

Thanks for the heads up. They implemented the limit to your top-up because people were sharing profiles on PS3 and getting scammed. This way, the victim had a chance to stop their card from being used. Sony wanted to limit how much you can have in your current wallet amount to lessen the damage.
