SNIPING IN THE AUCTION HOUSE ?

langhofdi123​ i dont think flipping items right away does anything, but who knows...here is what comes up when utilizing Chat GPT, asking it to review and assess if sniping breaks the TOS   its AI after all, so take it for what its worth, but i thought it was worth sharing

Conclusion & risk assessment...So, is sniping (in the casual sense) against the TOS / rules? Probably not inherently, as long as:

You are doing it manually (no bots or automation).

You’re not using bugs, exploits, or glitches to give yourself an unfair advantage.

You’re not engaging in illicit buying or selling of in-game currency or cards outside EA’s official systems.

However, there is risk:

EA might consider aggressive or high-volume sniping that borders on “abuse of the marketplace” to violate “fair play” or “unfair advantage” clauses.

If your sniping is part of a third-party tool (such as an auto-buy extension or macro) it’s almost certainly bannable.

EA may interpret some borderline behavior as market manipulations or coin distribution. Some players report bans or coin wipes for what EA calls “coin distribution” (though not necessarily for sniping).
