Invalid payment details
I triple checked my card details and made sure my bank and ID were up-to-date, but when I was going to buy an expansion pack the EA app said it was invalid??? Is it the App? Anyone have the same issue? I tried PayPal and Apple Pay too but it still said invalid. I also know I have enough money. I don’t know if this post belongs here, but I’m on PC and I’m having issues, sooo… Is anyone able to help?I got double charged. Help me
I was charged twice. Please refund one of them. Please process this quickly. I kept trying. to get a refund. But the refund selection window doesn't appear. My order number is 1008381916801. The game won't even launch, so please fix this. I've spent 88,000 won but I can't play the game right now.39Views0likes3CommentsGame removed from library, EA not willing to restore it
I've had Spore in my library since almost the day of the release years ago. I purchased the physical edition and redeemed the codes in the back of the manual. Today, years later, I wanted to replay it, but to my surprise the game is gone from my library. Searching it everywhere I ended up in the EA store, which to my greater surprise again, it says that I still own the DLCs, but not the base game. Contacted support via chat, and told me that since the game was purchased in the physical edition they cannot do anything and the only thing I can do is to ask for a replacement on the original store (sounds like a joke honestly, is not the store fault and Spore is not sold anymore and I purchased it 16 years ago) or to buy it again from the EA store. I know is cheap but please this feels like a scam, is there anything else I can do?Solved79Views2likes3Comments- 29Views0likes1Comment
EA simply removed BF6 from my account and won’t restore it
I bought Battlefield 6 on the EA App last month during a sale. I usually only buy games on Steam, but since this one required the EA App and I’d heard people were having issues with Steam Link, I thought buying it directly through EA would be better in this case. That turned out to be a mistake. When I opened the app today to install the game, it was no longer in my library, and the store was prompting me to buy it again. After three hours with EA support and trying all of their useless troubleshooting steps, I got nowhere. They were able to confirm that I purchased the game (wow), but they weren’t able to restore it to my account!? I had already accepted that we don’t truly own digital games and that everything is just a license, but this is something else. I believe people call it a scam: I paid for the license and got nothing. They won’t keep the case open to try to fix the issue, and I can’t even request a chargeback because I used an EA Wallet gift card. Lesson learned. Just wanted to share that EA scammed another loser today.71Views0likes2Comments[ANSWER IN THREAD] Ongoing Purchase Restrictions on More Sims 4 EPs
issue NOT SOLVED Other platforms (Epic/Steam/PS, etc) might offer full packs normally in certain mentioned regions (in screenshot below marked red) while EA app/website still bans the packs. This situation might differ from region to region. In this thread, the related information provided from the EA forum community team is outdated and partly conflicting with the fact. (above summary posted on 10th Oct 2025) ---------------- Sep 10th 2025 edited ------ Issue Not Solved yet. nothing else mentioned previously about EA app or EA official website in main post has changed. STEAM platform provides full TS4 packs for purchase properly while the EA App abides the regional standards shared by EA colleagues and restricts those packs for purchase. Epic platform provides full TS4 packs for purchase properly while the EA App abides the regional standards shared by EA colleagues and restricts those packs for purchase. (snap attached below) All these platforms mentioned above are checked in the same region that is listed by EA colleague impacted by the "Regional Standards". For windows PC users, you could check on Steam and Epic if you feel like to. The "solution" will automatically go back on once I remove it. ----------------- Sep 7th 2025 edited ------ nothing else mentioned previously in this main post has changed, except that on STEAM platform the packs are actually ON SHELF FOR PURCHASE properly, which is totally different than what the EA colleague shared before (I quoted previously). Unfortunately I'm a Mac user so this doesn't help me at all, but for all your PC players this might be a good news for you to check out on STEAM to see if this is the same for you in your regions. Since this seems to be the only way, I might keep updating the information I could find on my own to help me, or anyone who cares about this issue, understand what's going on, at least before I give up purchasing. ----------------- Sep 5th 2025 edited ------ With the new EP "Adventure Awaits" pre-order coming, the EP "Enchanted by Nature", which WAS ON SHELF FOR PURCHASE DAYS AGO, now has been REMOVED from EA Store. What's more, there's NO WAY to create bundles ourselves to purchase now. This is BEYOND RIDICULOUS. I wonder which kind, or which exact terms, of regional standards would so kindly and mercifully allow a certain product to be SOLD IN A PHASE before getting PROHIBITED?? Is this REALLY about standards that come from the impacted regions (listed by EA colleagues below quoted earlier), or is this actually an EA Policy??? With no exact terms quoted, with no exact time schedule announced, the only gesture that Sims4 Players who are shut out from purchase can read from the current situation is that EA doesn't care about these players buying or not. Only speaking for myself, I understand the marketing policy to promote new products and withdraw the early ones in order to concentrate the revenue or whatever to meet the internal KPI, however, it is a totally different thing to keep customers in the dark, only throw out vague explanation and publicly launch new product in such a self-conflicting way. "No clear information" is an information and an attitude also. ----------------- Aug 19th 2025 edited ------ For Sims4 Players who share the similar issues: the current situation is that for now there's "no way" for players from some regions to buy some of the packs of The Sims4 in any platform, as long as you're from the influenced regions. "Heya ChakahStrange I've gone ahead and merged your threads together as they were mostly on the same topic. The reality of the situation is that we must abide by regional standards and practices when offering content for sale in that region. This means that for any number of reasons in certain geographical locales we cannot offer content that may depict certain lifestyles, content, or cultural practices. So long as you're connecting to the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, the EA app, EPIC Games or wherever you play The Sims 4 from this region, you won't see some of our content for sale for legal reasons." -- by EA_Cade (the related region information could be found in below from the reply of EA Community Manager, as I quote in here: Hi all, The Sims 4 and the DLC is not available in some regions of the world due to regional standards, I believe this includes China, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and Egypt. If you're currently in one of these regions, this would be why you're not able to download or view The Sims in the store. -- by EA_Solaire ) ----------------- edited notice --------------- to the players who are worried about this issue, please kindly check the reply from the EA community manager about the possible regional restriction to limit our purchase for certain packs. I only left this question on "Solved" is to let people to see this reply as a current purchase status, but it doesn't mean that we're able to buy those packs yet. And until this edited notice, I haven't got any reply on what the restriction really is, whether it's permanent or not, or what will the schedule to solve this be put on track. Aug 18th, 2025 ----------------- the original post ------------ As shown in my pics attached, I can't purchase the game pack "Growing Together"(in my wishlist) or "Businesses & Hobbies". The page of the pack display says "Not Available for Purchase / This game is no longer offered in our catalog, but there are tons more games to find. Just head to the browse page and start exploring." But the thing is, if I add "Growing Together" into a bundle and purchase other 2 packs in the meantime, the paying page will proceed. I'm a Mac user and I'm sure my EA app is updated for the recentest version. So, all I want to know is that is this a technical problem? (If so, how can I fix it?) Or is it just a promotion strategy that I can't purchase the above 2 packs only by themselves? (as all I can purchase solely on the app are those packs on sale)? I've seen lot of gamers talking about this situation on EA app for these 2 days. Since the sale is ending, I wanna know the answer, for obvious reasons. Thanks. CM edit: Edited title for clarity.
