Mass False Bans for “Balance Transfer” on PC
Throwback to 24.12.25, when EA’s automated detection system flagged thousands of PlayStation accounts for “balance transfer.” After 8–10 hours, they fixed the issue and unbanned everyone with a singl...

I’m experiencing the same issue. I was banned on January 16th as well, which makes it seem like another wave of false bans has occurred. Like others have mentioned, I also noticed a large number of Icons and high-tier cards being listed on open bid. Something else that stood out to me was that some of my cards would get bought, and then the exact same card would be instantly relisted on open bid again. I have no idea what’s going on there.
That said, I did nothing wrong. I was simply buying and selling cards as intended by the Transfer Market—no coin selling, no external tools, no rule-breaking of any kind. Just normal trading and gameplay. I really hope EA addresses this soon, because it’s incredibly frustrating to be banned for legitimate activity, especially with Team of the Year about to start. I’m honestly devastated after putting so much time into the game.

Exactly dude I noticed the same but there is an insane twist here, the card you list gets bought and you can find that someone listed your card cheaper than you did on open bid.
There is a way in the game that shows how much any card listed on the market was bought for, you'd be surprised to find the card you listed for over 1m+ bought for under 200k!!!
I think the method used here is that an account trading coins buys your card which is probably rare on the market and lists it for ''near discard'' to be bought by a bot from the recipient's account. To ensure that the coin transfer is successful they would list the cards they bought via the bot on open bid so they actually get the coins.
The problem here is that we (people completely unrelated to the coin transfer) get banned for winning those cards on bid even though it is very intuitive that any person with trading experience would know there is profit to be made from buying them.
I can't understand how they ban us for winning bids but these people transferring coins are still seen each and every day on the transfer market.
Its pure insanity.
I have barely any hope left that i will even get my account back in general at this point...
