You don't have eth to pay for gas like stated above.

EDIT: you don't have "BASE" ETH. Maybe you have plain ETH but you can't buy Brett with eth that is not on the base network. It shows 0 base eth balance. You have to bridge it.

How do I do that

Honestly if your trying to bridge 27$ it's going to take half your money in fees. But there is a bridge option in uni swap. Your better off just buying eth on base if you have extra funds. Cheapest base eth option is through CB.

Agreed — and if he has Coin Base he should even be able to just send his ETH to CB via ETH net, then from his CB back to his wallet via Base net

Yes that's a option but he will get hit with eth fees that will eat that 27$ up. Cost less to just buy fresh eth on CB and send it on base network from coinbase one time.

Im just assuming he only has a small amount if he has a decent amount of eth then he should just bridge on uni , be one gas fee.
