i think that if you disallow bidding on your own player you need to allow people to withdraw the sale of a player... and i think i like that less than bidding on your own player.

I may have chosen a player to bid on based on his current price and my assessment of what real bidders would bid. I had to undergo a credit check and may have skipped buying opportunities for other players. The seller could have set a minimum acceptable price, and chose not to do so. Bidding on one's own players is essentially fraudulent misrepresentation of the conditions of sale.

I'd rather have a withdrawal option which includes a substantial financial penalty (20% of the current bid?) and that could not be exercised near the deadline (12 or 24 hours?)?

I agree with you 100%
A withdrawal option would be a better option.

But afterall why not have anything at all? For instance when a manager puts a player on the TM instead of just saying "are you sure" we could change this sentence to " you will not be able to take your player back if someone makes a bid on him". Managers should make their planning, if they want a player to be sold but are afraid they will not get the money they want, well they simply can put a high price on him...

This system puts the risk on inexperienced/ new managers (who might not see who the last bidder is) instead of on the seller (if he wants to sell he'd better be sure). The first time I noticed that I was quite shocked, could not even think such a bid was possible, so I am sure many managers might not even notice that the owner is the last bidder because they might not even check it (not thinking such bid is possible)

If they are concerned about not bidding on players whose owner is bidding on them, then they should pay attention.
