Coin selling results in a permanent online ban for all EA games. EA has previously outlined a banning system that will be in place for FIFA 15 and will work on a three-strike system, with a third strike earning a ban from online play in FIFA. This is another step in the attempt to clamp down on people illegally buying or selling coins. “This will also address “bid bumping”, where people would try and trick others into bidding far more than they wanted for a player item.” “Account phishers also abused Trade Offers by moving stolen players and coins after wrongfully gaining access to unsuspecting FUT player accounts. The post explained that: “Although some honest players used this feature to trade with friends, it became one of the methods used by coin sellers to sell and move coins. The trade feature was used to offer a specific exchange for cards instead to putting the card up for auction, and was a good way to share cards with friends. In a blog post on their website, the developer revealed this step has been taken as they try and battle the people who use this system to farm coins. Trade offers will no longer be available in FIFA 15’s Ultimate Team mode, EA has announced.
