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!

    Have the same problem. I have tried to contact them but I am not getting any response.

  • 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.

    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 players

    ive 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.
