FC 27 auto relist and auto listing

Why relisting is where the profit goes missing

Buying cheap is only half a flip. A card listed too high sits there; one listed with a careless start bid can sell at auction for less than you paid; and an expired listing put back up with EA’s “relist all” keeps yesterday’s price even when the market has moved. Doing it by hand means opening the Transfer List every hour and repricing card by card.

SnipeBid’s auto-lister takes that over, with one rule throughout: after EA’s 5% tax, a listing should never lose you coins unless you explicitly allow it.

Listing straight after a buy

With Auto-list snipes on (the default), every card the bot buys, by Buy Now or at auction, is moved to your Transfer List and listed:

• Buy Now price: market price × your Sell at % (100% by default), rounded up to EA’s price steps and kept inside the price range EA allows for that card. Items use the sell price you set.
• Start price: about 90% of the Buy Now, raised when needed to break-even plus your minimum profit after tax on what you paid (at most to one step under the Buy Now). So an auction that closes at its start price still makes money.
• Only at a profit: a card whose sell price after tax would not cover its cost stays unlisted, and the log says why.
• Duration: 1 hour by default; 3, 6 or 12 hours, 1 or 3 days if you prefer.

Cards bought for an SBC or for a ⭐ Keep target are never listed. If a listing fails, SnipeBid looks the card up on your Transfer List and retries once.

Relisting expired cards at today’s price

On each Transfer List check, sold cards are cleared and booked, and expired cards are handled:

• Target cards are relisted one by one at today’s price: your Sell at % of the current market price. A price older than 15 minutes is refreshed first. The log shows the change, for example “was 845K, ▼ -65K”.
• A step down per expiry. Each time a card has expired unsold, its relist goes one EA price step lower, up to three steps, and never under break-even plus your minimum profit. Without a known cost there is no step-down, so a card can’t drift into a loss.
• Everything else, such as cards you listed yourself, goes back up at its old price with EA’s own relist-all, in a single request. Target cards whose price barely moved are folded into that same request.

Checks timed to your listings

The check runs every 30 minutes by default (at least 5), but when one of your listings ends sooner, SnipeBid looks about a minute after it expires, so an unsold card goes back up within a minute or two rather than half an hour later. When the Transfer List was empty at the last read and nothing was bought, listed or sold since, the timed check skips its read and saves the request.

Each check also lists target cards left unlisted (for example after an EA cooldown interrupted a listing) and handles won auctions. You can run it once at any time with Clear sold & relist now in Settings, or from the phone remote.

Keeping room on the Transfer List

EA’s Transfer List holds a limited number of cards (usually 100; SnipeBid reads the actual limit from the Web App when it can). Before moving a new card there, SnipeBid checks its last view of the list: at 90% full or more with sold cards on it, it clears those first. If EA still refuses a move because the list is full, it clears sold cards and tries once more; otherwise the card stays where it was and the log says so.

Optional stop-loss

Off by default. A card that can’t sell at a profit after tax would otherwise wait unlisted forever. Set Stop-loss after (hours), and once a card has been held that long it is listed at break-even or one step under market, whichever is higher. After twice that time it goes up at the market price, which can mean a small loss; the log states the exact figure. Keep cards, untradeables and cards with no known cost are never touched.

Listing cards you already own

On EA’s own Transfer List screen, SnipeBid adds a bar that shows how many unlisted cards are ready and roughly what they are worth. Pick a % of the SnipeBid price (50 to 200%) and press List all; cards are listed one by one at a normal pace. Each card with a known cost also gets a small chip with what you paid, the listing price and the profit after tax, plus a running total for today.

Auto listing is the last step of the autobuyer loop, and the same rules apply to cards won by the auto bidder.
