Auto-lister & transfer list

Selling settings are in Settings → Selling. With Auto-list snipes on (the default), everything the bot buys is listed for you.

How a buy is listed

1. After a snipe or an auction win, the card is moved to your transfer list.
2. It is listed with a Buy Now price of market price × Sell at % of market (default 100%), rounded up to EA’s price steps. Items use your own sell price.
3. The start price is about 90% of the Buy Now price.
4. Both prices are kept inside the price range EA allows for that card. If EA’s range moved the price, the log says so.
5. The listing runs for your Listing duration: 1, 3, 6 or 12 hours, 1 day or 3 days (default 1 hour).

A card is only listed when its sell price is above what you paid. Cards bought by the SBC solver are never listed.

If a listing fails, SnipeBid looks the card up on your transfer list and retries once. If it still fails, the card stays on your transfer list unlisted and the log explains why. When you press Stop, cards already bought are still listed, unless EA just put you in a cooldown.

Clearing sold and relisting

While the bot runs, SnipeBid checks your transfer list every Relist check minutes (default 30, at least 5). Each check:

• Clears sold items and logs the coins they brought in.
• Relists expired target cards at the current market price. The price is rechecked first if it is older than 15 minutes. The log shows the old and new price.
• Relists everything else that expired (your own cards, or ones it couldn’t reprice) at their old price, with EA’s relist-all.
• Lists leftover cards that belong to a target but sit on your transfer list unlisted (for example after a cooldown interrupted a listing).
• Handles won auctions in Transfer Targets, when Auto-handle won items is on (see below).

To run the check once now, use Clear sold & relist now → Run now in Settings → Selling. It needs a web app session.

Won auctions

With Auto-handle won items on (the default), cards you win at auction are moved from Transfer Targets to your Transfer List and listed: at the target’s or filter’s sell price, else at Bulk list at % of price of the SnipeBid price. A win is never listed at a loss: if the price after tax would not cover your bid, it is kept unlisted. Cards without a SnipeBid price go to your club or your Transfer List (Won items without a price), and expired auctions are cleared. It also runs when you open Transfer Targets yourself. Details on the Bidder page.

List all on the Transfer List screen

On EA’s own Transfer List screen, SnipeBid adds a bar at the top. It shows how many unlisted cards are ready to list (Available and expired/Unsold) and roughly what they add up to.

1. Set the percentage in the bar: at … % of the SnipeBid price. It is saved as Bulk list at % of price (Settings → Selling, default 100%, range 50–200%).
2. Press List all (N) and confirm. SnipeBid tells you the total before it starts.
3. It lists the cards one by one with the normal pacing, at that % of the SnipeBid price, fitted into EA’s price range, with a start price of about 90% of Buy Now and your Listing duration.

Skipped: untradeable cards and cards without a SnipeBid price (which includes consumables and other non-player items). The bar tells you how many were skipped and why. Listing stops if you leave the Transfer List screen or EA puts you in a cooldown; failures are in the Log.

Profit on the Transfer List

On EA’s Transfer List screen, SnipeBid adds a small profit chip under the name of every card whose cost it knows:

Green means a profit, red a loss. Every figure is after the 5% EA tax. The bar at the top adds a Today: line, for example Today: 9 sold · +6,420 profit after tax · 14 listed worth ~51K (+3.1K if all sell).

• The cost comes from SnipeBid’s record of its own buys (snipes, won bids, auto-buys, SBC buys). For cards you bought yourself, EA’s last sale price of the card is used. Cards with no known cost get no chip and are left out of the profit, and the line says how many.
• “Today” is your local calendar day. A sale counts once SnipeBid sees it sold on your Transfer List, including cards you listed by hand.
• The record is kept in this browser for 60 days. No extra EA requests are made for any of this.

The 5% EA tax

EA keeps 5% of every sale. Every profit figure in SnipeBid (the Profit stat, the per-row Profit, the minimum profit for bids and filters) is worked out after that tax: sell price × 0.95 − what you paid.
