So I was able to purchase $5 worth of NCoin earlier, but now I am trying again and this is what I get....

			did you try doing it directly trough the site? Limitation might be in place there to prevent stolen accounts getting their banks emptyed. Also it's weird if the limitation is there and is so low, because I was able to buy 16£ worth in one go and you can buy 40£ worth on their site in one go :D

This is what I get when trying to purchase through the website....I have made a little over $100 in purchases already because I simply have to have the expert riding license+hover board on all of my characters when starting out, and they are not account bound, so you have to buy it for each character, which is also lame.

So wait, you've made over $100 in purchases already?
 
I believe I saw one of the carbine staff actually say that they have security checks in place if there are large purchases being made.  Something like a 24 hour delay to ensure it's legitimate.
 
Don't take my word for it, though, I'd consider opening a ticket about this...but it could just be that you've spent too much too quickly.

			Above and beyond what Carbine chooses, NCSoft has limits on the number and amount of credit/debit card transactions you can make within a certain period.You used to be able to edit the upper limit, effectively authorizing yourself to use up to the amount you wanted, but under the new site setup I can no longer see any way to do that.

Yes. I have 3 characters on the PvE server and 3 characters on the PvP server. Yes, I actively play all of them. Like I said above, I simply have to have the hover board+expert riding license on every character I play because getting around fast (and fun) is a big thing for me. To buy the license+board is $25 per character.
----
			I know other f2p games limit the amount of currency you can buy (ex. $150/month). I think it's to prevent hackers, etc from dumping your bank account.

FYI, under "bundles" is the deluxe version upgrade for around 1000 points which has an account wide hoverboard unlock you can claim on every character you make, ever. Along with some dyes and a costume. The character specific mounts are a bad deal.
----
			wow I didn't even knew they had such limits and that people were breaking them already

Yeah, the deluxe upgrade hoverboard is far better value than the character bound one.
 
I wouldn't advise anyone to buy anything that is character bound with cash, use omnibits if you really want them.
 
I know it's their money and they can do what they want but it just seems like a waste of money to me.

Weekly limit is required.
 
The gold sellers, scammers, account stealers, etc. use stolen credit card data to make purchases in the store including credd. By limiting this weekly, it actually helps reduce the number of chargebacks the company and their bank are stuck with.
 
It also helps a tad for the whales with little self control, who then try to use chargebacks later when they come to their senses.
 
It's not the hardship being made out here. You can wait until next week to spend again. It is inconvenient, I agree there. Carbine should create sort of verified-purchaser system on the back end that lifts this restriction when transactions made by an individual on an account have cleared the bank and not been refunded within say..30 or 60 days.
 
Either way, you be waitin'.

This kind strategy is required, as folks have mentioned, due to fraud issues.
 
That said, the goal isn't to prevent legit players from purchasing things. We adjusted our algorithms slightly, so hopefully you'll be okay now. :)

Limits like this protect against hacking, as well as against children going to excess.
 
Leave it open and underaged players are likely to buy the entire store in a day on their parent's cards...
- Something that happens with a lot of mobile app games.
 
EDIT: I see a mod replied above me and I'd failed to read down the page before replying... :)
