And it goes by hours, right?

Like XXX times an hour?

I think theres a certain amount you can do (I really dont know what it is) I thought it was per day but i could be wrong then you are banned for a certain amount of time. Im sure someone knows better than I do

I know a while ago you used to be able to refresh the shop wiz 300 times and after that you'd be banned for a certain amount of time. Last week, I did too many refreshes and was banned for like 15 minutes...It's never been an extremely long amount of time for me.

I really don't know if there is a certain number of times though anymore. Especially since they have changed all the shop wiz lines...Makes restocking even more of a pain for me

I think it's 300 times, then you get banned until the next hour.

Thats what I thought, thanks Zero.

I actually thought it had to do with the amount of seconds between refreshes--but sometime I will have to test out that 300 refresh theory.

Once you are shop wiz banned, you will remain banned until the beginning of the next hour (if banned at 3:15, you stay banned until 4:00).

And, you can refresh on the shop wiz as much as you want--as long as you don't get shop wiz banned during that particular hour. There is no limit on the number of shop wiz bans you can get per day. Each time you are banned, it then resets itself at the beginning of the hour--in other words, there is no permanent shop wiz ban.

I'm pretty sure that it goes up by increments of 10 minutes. You can be banned for 10 to 50 minutes.

I remember I was shop banned for a few days I went insane lol

I always thought they moved it to 360 refreshes...

And bannings are always until the next hour starts. So if I got banned at 7:59, then I'd be able to refresh again at 8:00.

We're talking about shop wizard refreshes...

I'm 95% sure that the number of refreshes is 100 per hour.

I can restock for about 20 minutes on my 56k and do it again the next hour.

I thought it was 500 refreshes an hour.

EDIT: It is 300 per hour. Found the news from way back when here: http://www.neopets.com/newfeatures.phtml?arr=2002-04-29 Under May 1st.

It's 300 wizard searches per hour. Once you go over that, you get a message saying you'll have to wait til the beginning of the next hour, and telling you how long it'll be. It was 100 at first but they put it up because of complaints.

Wow.. a quick question with 12 replies..

Anyways -- thanks.
