You just made your first sale in Pls Donate, or maybe someone finally bought your custom shirt. You are excited, you look at your Robux counter, and… nothing. It still says “0”.
Did you get scammed? No. You are simply experiencing the “Pending Sales” system.
In 2026, Roblox does not release funds instantly. To prevent fraud, stolen credit cards, and illegal laundering, all sales go through a mandatory holding period. If you don’t know where to look, it seems like the money is missing.
Here is the definitive guide on how to locate your frozen funds and exactly when they will hit your account.
💻 Step 1: Accessing “My Transactions” (PC / Desktop)
The Roblox UI hides this menu, so you have to know where to click.
- Log in to Roblox.com.
- Look at the top right corner. Click on your Robux Icon (the hexagon).
- A dropdown menu will appear showing your balance and a “Buy Robux” button.
- Click on your Robux Amount (e.g., “0 Robux” or “15 Robux”).
- Yes, the text itself is a link.
- This takes you to the “My Transactions” page.
Shortcut: You can also just type this URL directly into your browser:
https://www.roblox.com/transactions
📱 Step 2: Checking on Mobile (The Browser Trick)
Warning: You cannot check detailed Pending Robux inside the official Roblox App (iOS/Android). The app only shows your current balance.
To check pending sales on your phone:
- Open Safari (iPhone) or Chrome (Android).
- Go to
roblox.comand log in. - Tap the “Aa” or Menu button and select “Request Desktop Website”.
- Now follow the PC steps above (Click the Robux Icon -> Click the Amount).
⏳ What Does “Pending Sales” Mean?
On the Summary tab, you will see a line called “Pending Sales.”
- The Escrow Period: When someone buys your Gamepass or Clothing, Roblox holds the money.
- The Wait Time: In 2026, the standard wait time is 5 Days (sometimes up to 7 days).
- Why? If the buyer used a stolen credit card, Roblox needs time to reverse the transaction before you spend the money.
Example:
- You sell a pass for 100 Robux on Monday.
- Roblox takes their 30% tax (You get 70 Robux).
- That 70 Robux sits in “Pending Sales” until Saturday.
- On Saturday, it moves to your “Total” and you can spend it.
🏢 Checking “Group” Pending Robux
If you sold an item through a Group (not your personal profile), the Robux won’t show up in your personal transactions. It goes to the Group Funds.
- Go to your Groups page.
- Click the three dots (…) next to your Group name -> Configure Group.
- In the left menu, click Revenue -> Summary.
- Here you will see “Pending Robux” for the group.
- Note: Group funds also take roughly 3-7 days to verify.
🚫 Common Misconceptions & Scams
- “Inspect Element”: If a YouTuber shows you they have 1M Pending Robux by right-clicking and changing the HTML code, it is fake. Only the
roblox.com/transactionspage is real. - “Robux Generators”: No website can “generate” pending Robux for you. Never give your password.
- “Pending” implies Guaranteed: Technically, if a purchase is refunded or deemed fraudulent by Roblox during the 5-day wait, the Pending Robux can disappear before it hits your account. This is rare, but it happens.

Decoding Your Transaction Log (Reference Chart)
