using the same emails on the swtor and an ea account does not create the linkage, linkage is created on account creation, both the swtor and linked ea accounts can use different emails and passwords and are managed separately from each other
account is flagged to be checked for issues, as things like steam will fail to apply gametime if the account is disabled for purchasing
Response from support should be available in about 8 hrs from now
For the steam purchase you will need to email uncropped screenshots per https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Technical/INFO-Steam-Purchase-Not-Working/td-p/9356718/jump-to/first-unread-message be sure to include the swtor account name too
Thanks for the reply. I have ensured my steam account is linked to both my EA and my SWTOR accounts, but I don't see anywhere to link my SWTOR and my EA accounts together. I sent the email from the same email as my SWTOR account, but I did forget to include my SWTOR account name, so if they reply and ask I will be sure to provide it.

steam linkage to an EA account and a swtor account has no bearing on each other
There is no way to change the account linkage between a swtor and an EA account, the linkage is permanent and made on account creation using the email address used ot create the swtor account
When an account is "not" disabled, you can login on the swtor account and view your purchase history, the ea account email is listed on the right of that page, you may not be able to view this page when the ea account for disabled- 2 years ago
Nowhere on either my EA or SWTOR accound does it say it's disabled. It only tells me to contact EA support because there is an issue with my EA account which prevents purchases when I try to view purchase history or subscribe. Should I change the email of my SWTOR account then? Would that help fix the issue?

no, changing email on your swtor account, likely wont change a thing, just wait till have a response on the account issue in about 4hrs time
when i say disabled, i mean disabled for purchasing
