Why cheap listings appear
Thousands of cards are listed every minute, and some go up too cheap: a typo in the price, a player who wants coins right now, or someone listing a whole club at a flat price. Those listings rarely last more than a few seconds, because other traders are searching for exactly them.
How sniping works
- Pick a card and find its real lowest price on the market.
- Set the Max Buy Now price below it, low enough that a buy still makes profit after the 5% EA tax.
- Search again and again. Most searches find nothing.
- When a listing appears under your max price, buy it straight away.
- List it again at the normal price.
The margin is the gap between your max buy price and what the card really sells for, minus the tax. The EA tax guide shows how big that gap needs to be.
Why the same search shows nothing new
If you repeat exactly the same search, the market can show you the same results it showed a moment ago. Changing one value each time, usually the Min Buy Now price, makes every search a new one. Moving the minimum up a step at a time and starting again from the bottom is the common way to do it.
Know the real price
The card’s market average is not the price it sells for. Search results are sorted by time remaining, not by price, so the cheapest listings are often not on the first page. Finding the real lowest price takes a few searches; this guide shows how: finding a card’s real lowest price.
Search limits
EA limits how many searches an account can make. Pushing too hard can bring captchas or a temporary block on the Transfer Market. Short sessions with breaks are safer than hours of non-stop searching.
Doing it by hand or with a tool
By hand, sniping is mostly waiting and fast clicking. EasySnipeFut does the repetitive part: it checks the card’s real price, sets the max buy price after tax, searches at the speed you choose, changes the min price each time and buys as soon as a listing is under your price. It stops by itself when something looks wrong, for example too many listings under your price.
