What happened with your situation? Both my bans were totally bogus, as well. I've never purchased coins, nor sold, nor distributed. Most recent time, I got slammed for taxing Cowboys & Eagles fans, selling those Team Diamond set pieces (such as 83 OVR Dak Prescott and company) for 150-200k per. EA hates us making profit.
If this is your first offense, I've got a form letter template somewhere you can fill out and ship it off to EA Legal via certified mail with delivery confirmation. They overturned my first, but never heard back on subsequent attempts.
I have pissed away an obscene amount of cash and coin chasing cards this year.
I made this post when it happened. I sold most of my team off before Season 7, as I figured the GTs and other 99s I had would plummet. Mean Joe Greene was one of the last in my inventory. Sold him for 2m when he was going for ~1.1m. Also sold Gronk for ~2.1m, but he was going for ~1.9-2m so I don't see that as a detectable offense.
I submitted two well-written appeals on the EA Help website, to which I received automated responses saying "we have found we took the correct action. due to our process we can't provide internal details of the ban." The response was laughable. Lol. And I was already not getting M25. Their decision just made me also not get CFB25.
Unfortunately, I'm at a point that I just don't want to grind games anymore. I started playing 2k before the ban, and even noticed that one's a crazy grind. Halo used to be my favorite game, I may pick that up and start playing since you won't face the cheese, or grind that is MUT/CUT.
ETA:
EA taking away the trade block also severely deters me from playing. Honestly, that might be the biggest factor in my quitting. In year's past, I was able to recoup some of my money via trade block. Or even participate in year-end giveaways with people quitting.
