Full inbox, lost items?

#0 - Dec. 17, 2009, 5:21 p.m.

So, my account expired and the payment option was set to one month recurring. Unfortunately, it took around 24 hours for my payment to go through before I could play again. In that time, the 150-something auctions I had expired, so I couldn't accept the items back as they were being mailed to me. What happened to the items that were mailed after my inbox became full? Is there any way to get them back?

Thanks.

As your fellow posters have noted, Sanehouse, your mailbox can only display up to 50 mail items at a time—but it can hold much, much more than that.

Once your mailbox reaches 50 mail items, it'll start "pushing" your older mail, one-by-one into a sort of overflow. You won't be able to see or access any mail in the overflow, but it'll still be there and the mail's expiry date will remain the same. As you clear out the mails in your mailbox, older mail will then begin to filter back in.

So, if you ever find that your mailbox is full, but you can't find a certain item, go ahead and just start pulling the mail in your mailbox out. You may find that the "missing" mail item was just hiding in your mailbox's overflow. :)

Okay, not really.
