Every time I try to buy a player it just says bid failed

hey,is it possible, that you just god overbidden by an other user? you now, many people play this game and see the auctions for the players, and sometimes two players bet on the same player or you bet on a player and another user payed the Buy now price for the player, than he automaticly gets the player and these players who bet get it's coins back and lose the auction. this could happen very often so i don't think it's a problem in the game, i think the player you bet for just already get sold before the auction list was updated, so sadly you just were the slowly. just try another player or pay the buy now price, than you instandly get the player 😉

I agree with joke, try raising your bid higher than only the 100 minimum higher than the current bid.Or just using buy it now.If your bidding on items/players that are near ending they usually have a lot of activity of people bidding on them. You have to bid fast, and be ready to bid again if your outbid.If the auction has less than 15seconds left, each new bid will reset the time left to 15seconds

@robeygirl Do you see a 'bid failed' error or something else? Thanks.

I am having the same issue too. I get the "Bid failed" error message. Is my account blocked from bidding? I tried using another account and can place a bid on the same item.

I keep getting the same message for all items in the marketplace when I go to Bid or Buy Now. The message is as follows:"BID FAILEDYour bid could not be processed. You may have been outbid by another user, or the auction has been won by another bidder or was purchased for the Buy Now price. Good luck with your other bids!"If anyone can help, please let ne know

I ran into the issue where my bid button and buy it now button both immediately respond with "Sorry, Bid Failed". This puts a real damper on my ability to improve my team and I really need this function to be fixed for improvement reasons. I can sell just fine but no matter how long the item has been out, I still get the error message (this causes my original thoughts that I was just losing multiple bids and buy it nows to be very unlikely). This issue has been bugging me for a few days now and I have even tried basic troubleshooting. Please help.

I am unable to place a bid on any player in auction house, madden mobile 17. I have enough coins and it rejects my attempts every single time. Even when there are no other persons bidding on the player. This has gone on for over a month. I was able to bid in the beginning then all of a sudden, not. Some bug is happening. I have reloaded the app. & Restarted the app. Several times over. Still no luck on placing a bid on players.

Same with me but I didn't open a new account to check if it is working period. I get the window etc...
I want to stay with original account.
Yes! Did we get blocked from bidding for some non sensible reason?

Yes, thebid error window does appear every time. Even when players are not bidding. Even when I buy the player out right.

P.S. I am reposting this because it is still persisting. Either I am getting destroyed by one of the unluckiest losing streaks (Try 100 times trying to buy), or I am seriously in trouble. I would really like to improve my team ASAP.
