Here is a post from CMs from the forums when Char Bazaar was released:</p><p><em>Not counting tournament characters, Your account can contain a maximum of 25 characters, with a maximum of 20 active characters (the other 5 spots can be filled with characters marked for deletion). If you were to have 25 characters, you'd have to wait until a character is finally deleted in order to make room for a new character, including characters you want to bid on. The current error message which you've mentioned is a little unclear in this regard and will be amended to reflect this requirement. <strong>If you were to have less than 25 characters total on your account, but 20 active characters, you could delete a character to immediately make room for a character you want to bid on. Unfortunately there isn't a way to speed up the final deletion process.</strong></span></p>process.</strong></em></p>
