ERC20 Approval for use as currency in NFT Marketplace

My problem is that when I try to approve the marketplace contract to spend DAI in BSC testnet (BEP 20 token), the gas fee is very high (80$) and it fails when I accept (limit error).

We're trying to buy an erc1155 token using a given erc20 token as the currency with which we buy the nft. ABI for the ERC20 token and contract address are correct so I don't know why it's not working and the gas fee is so high

const userAddress = user.get("ethAddress")

    const marketplaceContract = new web3.eth.Contract(marketplaceContractAbi, MARKETPLACE_CONTRACT_ADDRESS)
  

    params = { currencyId: itemToBuy.currencyId };
    const currencyContractAddress = await Moralis.Cloud.run("getERC20Token", params)

    const currencyContract = new web3.eth.Contract(abiDAI, currencyContractAddress.contractAddress)

    await currencyContract.methods.approve(MARKETPLACE_CONTRACT_ADDRESS, itemToBuy.askingPrice).send({ from: userAddress })

I used the ABI of the DAI contract in BSC mainnet which I assume is the same as in testnet, just like in this link below.
