Q: What is the EA market bid step increment?

Q: Why does listing at the raw math break-even lose coins in EA FC 27?
Because EA does not allow free-form coin inputs. If your raw break-even is 52,631.58 coins, you cannot list for that price. If you round down to 52,500, after 5% tax (2,625) you receive 49,875 coins—a net loss of 125 coins. You must round up to the next valid EA step (53,000) to secure a +350 coin profit.
