I bought 49,99 euro worth of zen just now. That went thru just fine. Then I proceeded to the C-store, and bought 50 lock box keys, 10 of which suddenly appear bound-to-account for 7 days. It's one thing to have some sort of fraud protection, flagging
the purchase of the Zen, but to flag a C-store purchase, and then even only 10 keys out of 50, that makes no sense whatsoever. And it's certainly no great incentive for me to keep buying zen in the future, I can tell you that.

Indeed, half-flagging is silly. And a 40 keys only limit? Considering my earlier Zen purchases with them, you'd think they should know by now my money is good. But if they don't want it any more, I'm only too happy to oblige them, and not give them any more of it (sarcasm intended).
STO is also not the only game to do this. SWTOR also does a similar thing save their's is only 3 days for some of the items.

This happened to me too the other week. It's a shock at first, but I just got over it. I can still sell anything later.
I bought the Zen thru Arc, as usual.
Thing about the Dilithium exchange is, it's not my Zen that's bound, but 10 of the 50 keys I bought with it. Which is so weird. I can understand them flagging a Zen purchase, as RL money is involved. But it's then silly to flag 10 out of my 50 keys I bought from the C-store.

Yeah. I had like 205 Zen left, after buying 5x 10 keys, but even that Zen wasn't bound (as in: I could exchange it for Dilithium just fine). And yes, I bought all 5,8300 Zen (the 49.49 euro package) in one fell swoop.
