Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a problem with the Transfer Market on PS5 in EA FC 26. I completed the Foundations objectives on a new account and waited for the 24-hour timer to end. After that, I can buy players normally, but I cannot sell any players. On PS4, the market works perfectly — I can buy and sell without issues. On PS5: The minimum price for all players is stuck at 150, and the maximum is blank. Attempting to sell triggers the message: “You’ve reached your limit on bid/buy actions. Please come back in 24 hours for full access.” Clearing sold items or other actions in the Transfer List disconnects me with: “Connecting to Ultimate Team is not possible at the moment. You will now be returned to the main menu.” This issue has persisted for several days after the timer ended and appears to be PS5-specific, likely a backend or server-side glitch. Has anyone else experienced this? Any updates or fixes from EA? Thanks!

Hello,I still cannot sell any items. Although, I CAN buy anything.I’m playing FC 26 on a new account. At the beginning, the transfer market was completely locked. I followed all the instructions on the official EA website to unlock the market for new accounts.After successfully completing all the required objectives, I was given partial access, which should allow selling items but not buying. I didn’t even try to sell anything then as it was pointless, I couldn’t use the coins to buy anything at that time. However, after waiting for 24 hours I was granted full access. I could buy, but to my surprise I couldn’t sell anything! Whenever I try to sell, I receive the message: “you’ve already reached the limit for bid/buy actions. Try again in 24 hours” even though I’m not trying to bid or buy (which, ironically, I COULD do) but I’m trying to sell! The same issue has been going on for a few days now with the same message asking me to wait for another 24 hours just for nothing. I even got access to the market on the companion and web app but faced the same issue where I could buy items but not sell any as a DIFFERENT error message appeared saying “This item cannot be listed for transfer because there was an error.”. Additionally, I can’t even access my “Transfer Targets” list, so I can’t retrieve items I’ve won in bids which is another big issue. This is very frustrating and is affecting my experience severely, I can’t get coins by selling items, bid on anything, or complete some objectives including selling items, therefore not fully enjoying the game. I’m pretty confident I’m 100% eligible to get full access to everything, this must just be a glitch or a technical issue. I’ve already contacted EA support but it was useless as the advisor only redirected me to EA forums.Please give me a solution for this as soon as possible.Thank you for your attention.

Yeah, that’s exactly how support handled it for me too. They just kept insisting it was the normal 24–48h wait (it’s been over a week of waiting now with no solution 🙂) and gave random troubleshooting steps, even though it clearly isn’t that. One advisor finally admitted it looked like a bug and said they’d escalate it, but nothing beyond that.Hopefully with more of us posting here, EA will actually take it seriously and push a fix.

so ive completed all 4 objs to get on the tm waited 24 hours now it lets me buy players but doesnt let me list them since playing fifa since 2014 its a joke spent alot on fifa points just for me not able to sell playersive got no sanctions on my account every time i enter a live chat feels like im repeating myself and for them to just tell me come on here and dont help me one bit #has anyone had this issue waited at least 3 days and no change whatsoever feels like ive just been bent over as ive got the ultimate edition for 0 reason cant even list people

Same thing and when I scroll through pages when trying to buy players it disconnects. I was told that the 24 hour message is a placeholder and could take 24-48hr it's now been over 28hr and still the same. I have players from packs like Saliba and marquinhos who sell for decent prices and can't sell them so the game mode is rendered unplayable. They gave me a bunch of nothing troubleshoot options and didn't seem to accept that there could be a glitch that could be rectified.

I have the same problem. Have you fixed the error yet?

Transfer Market Issue: Can Buy but Cannot Sell

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a problem with the Transfer Market on PS5 in EA FC 26. I completed the Foundations objectives on a new account and waited for the 24-hour timer to end. After that, I can buy players normally, but I cannot sell any players.

On PS4, the market works perfectly — I can buy and sell without issues. On PS5:

The minimum price for all players is stuck at 150, and the maximum is blank.
Attempting to sell triggers the message: “You’ve reached your limit on bid/buy actions. Please come back in 24 hours for full access.”
Clearing sold items or other actions in the Transfer List disconnects me with: “Connecting to Ultimate Team is not possible at the moment. You will now be returned to the main menu.”

This issue has persisted for several days after the timer ended and appears to be PS5-specific, likely a backend or server-side glitch.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any updates or fixes from EA?

Thanks!

hello, i am posting here because ea help was unable to resolve my issue despite multiple chats and an escalation to the market review team. my in-game transfer market was previously accessible and then became locked with a bid limit message that does not reset after multiple 24-hour periods. there is no ban, suspension, or policy violation on my account, and i was told by the review team that my case would be checked and actioned immediately. this has not happened. support advisors said they cannot escalate further. this appears to be a stuck account-side restriction rather than a normal unlock evaluation. i am requesting an ea community manager or ea staff member to review my account and confirm whether a manual reset or fix can be applied.please help me i do not know what to do anymore, weeks has passed. thank you.

Hi EA_Claus ,
Just following up on this, as it’s been about a month and I haven’t received an update yet. I’m still experiencing the same issue on PS5. Please let me know if there’s any progress or if you need anything else from me.

Thanks

I'm having the same issue - EA this is beyond ridiculous. I've spent£1,000's on packs, and at the moment the game just isn't playable.

I can't even reinvest in the players that fit my team, because i can't bloody sell anyone!

Guys they are low people that cannot do anything about game and fixes. They do not know anything. My problem is still there since almost 2 months. So do not play the game and dont buy future games.
