I think the team that has a player up for auction should not be able to bid on their player to bump up the sale price. EXAMPLE: player is on the market with no $0 for bid - Team #1 bids $10,000 on the player with a maximum bid of $1,000,000 : The team that owns the player counter bids on the player $900,000 to get the price up because they think the player should go for more than $10,000. This should not be allowed! It's a way for the owning team to get way more out of the player than Team #1 originally bid. Can this be fixed? |

This has been discussed a lot on the Spanish server, technically it's not illegal, just pull right out and they end up paying tax for nothing, But then there's the other side where he wants the price there he should've set it originally. In the end it's legal, just be wary, but if someone is willing and able to pay the price and you aren't then they deserve that player. |

Great points, but I put in a bid on a player it was the first bid so it was low $5,000 or something with a maximum bid of $3,000,000.. The owner of the player saw that the auction was coming to a close within the day and started to out bid me until my bid had gotten up to $2,500,000... at this point the owner felt that was the least they would take for the player and stopped out bidding... so instead of getting the player for my initial price I'm forced into the higher price, at least give me the option to withdraw my offer at this point. | 13/10/2011 11:04 |

EBAY address this issue by simply charging the listing party money to list . If you want to bid up your own item on EBAY they dont care, if you endup winning your own item because you were playing chicken with a real bidder , thats your problem, you still owe EBAY their money. This fee deters listing people from running up the price on their own auctions because it will cost them real money if they mess up . |

@Armo That is how eBay makes money, they take a percentage of the sale. In effect, SM has the same policy in place. You pay tax on your purchase. So if they end up buying their player back they end up paying a 5% tax on the transaction. |
