Yeah, there's already a couple of looong threads debating the grind aspect in other parts of the forum..

Anyway, has anyone had any joy sending multiple items recently, or had any missing ones turn up?

My question is: If this IS implemented by PD, why does it allow you to send without giving you the 'you can only send one per day' message?

I think we don't see such message because it's not implemented in current version of the game which is 1.03.
However, gifts were limited from the start. I sent 64 gift cards before 'the end of gold rush' and only 50 showed up on the other side. So it was limited on server side but I haven't been warned in any way about it.
 
Well what can we say? We paid 50 dollars for the game and some of us bought ps3 for 300 dollars just to play gt5, and then PD thanks us by stealing our cars too? And then some of us here cursing MS for their greed. Well xbox live costs, but their server infrastructure are more stable and better. Really funny eh. Or are the servers to weak for our demands, if thats the case its to bad and a shame, we living in 2011.
 
Even if u use your 1day car trade u can still chance to lost it .. any one have clue when its safe to trade back...?
 
The one trade a day works, I jut tested on my go's account, I guess it's no more multiple trading!

How does it work? After midnight does it reset itself? Is this classed as a day or is it 24 hours?
 
so your 1 trade will work but multi's will not?

How many paints can you trade? is that limited to 1 as well?
 
My .02: I just tried to send my wife a car (10am cst, 12/10) and it vanished. A little later I sent her a transmission and it showed up fine.

I plan to hold off on any more car trades until I see some different news.

I sent 3 cars today, the 2 first were received, but not the 3rd, the one that took me 4 hard long hours on nürburgring to get it as prize, How mean !
 
Just tried sending multiple cars and items again. All items showed up, only the first car/car ticket show. So yeah, fun time is over, back to one car a day crap :grumpy:
 
I have held off trading since yesterday afternoon when I went to work. This morning, a guy is adament we trade, I explain to him the risk but he still wants the car saying, he will send his first to prove it works. I again tell him its hit and miss. He send me his car and I receive it just fine. I go to send mine, he never gets it. I recorded it and everything to prove that I am not bsing anyone here. I have made atleast 20 successful trades until now. Now I am stuck sending back his car and losing a Audi R8 LMS team playstation. what a bunch of BS
 
Watch who you make accusations of my friend.

I've lost a 4M credit car I worked hard to get, not cheated. Who are you to tell me I don't have the right to be upset over it.

Your age old saying brings a few age old sayings of my own to mind. Best I don't write them here, or quickly will I be banned.

Standing up for Atiger here - I was in the trade that lost the 4m car. We messaged at length last night, but nothing, nada, zip.

But as above, for the feature/glitch - call it what you want, to suddenly stop with out warning, or even any "gotcha suckers" comment from PD, does tarnish the reputation of everyone involved, whether they were legit traders, or those with time on their hands to farm for birthday cars, or grind for cash.

If you recorded the process, then don't send his back. Especially if you kept the messages where he is adamant that you trade.
 
it looks like every one thinks they "fixed the glitch" and its causing regular trading issues. Has anyone confirmed this? or is this all just guessing? I mean are normal trades working? some have said car parts and paint transfers are working. This morning I used my sub account to send a car I just bought (level 0 car) and a couple parts and paint. Well the car said it sent but never showed up on the main account, the parts and paint wouldn't send, kept saying upload failed. I figured the car was lost and had something to do with servers rather than them fixing the birthday glitch. I lost a couple cars last week too because of servers. They have 5.5 million copies sold, I bet its the servers and the fact that there are actually 8 million accounts in use on them because of the "glitch" hahaha
 
I was sending some colors and got new message 'Upload failed.' Color didn't vanished but its count became 0. I tried to send it again and 'Upload failed' popped up again with count -1. Five years of development and it still shows such bugs, meh... :yuck:
 
nothing is working right, it's hit and miss for everyone, people just keep posting that they think it's working because it worked once or twice for them...nothing is fixed!!!

STOP POSTING THAT IT'S WORKING JUST BECAUSE YOU RECEIVED 1 CAR!!!
 
I should of read this this mornig before trading but I just sent 4 cars, hopefully the make it (biting nails). At least they're just gifts wasnt expecting anything back.

That seems right. It's his fault you lost the car. He couldn't wait so you have to suffer? I don't think it should go down like that. You should get the car being that you warned him prior and he insisted.

^ agreed
 
Yeah, I did one earlier (with myself) and it disappeared. I am not sending even pocket lint until I have full confirmation that it is back up, and PD has decided on one a day, none a day, 10 a day, etc.
 
if we could backup our damn save game files it wouldn't be so bad. at least we could recover what we lost...

I am just waiting for my PS3 Fat HD to fail, and lose the game because I can't back it up!, then again if they allow backups, imagine the "cheating" that will happen, you think the birthday glitch is bad, hahaha
 
i nearly lost my peugot 908(for the forth time). But when you get the error message you must directly put off your ps3. worked for me :)
 
A brave member just sent an expensive car with no problems, but that doesn't really mean anything.
Just thought I'd mention it anyway.
