Wrong transfer
Help
I want to cancel a transfer
Made a mistake. In stead of 15000000 I put 1500000.
Now I have max offer 5. Not enough

Not a great deal you can do other than hope nobody bids or they cancel bids

They did not
Strange you can't cancel

A warning does come up when you click the transfer button:

Note: This action cannot be undone or cancelled. When placed on the transfer list, the player will be sold subject to an acceptable offer.

Should always double check everything when you list a player.

You might not get the 15M you hoped for but it's possible that a couple of managers put in 'reasonable' bids all the same. Back when I started I put a young all 90s player on for a very low asking price (didn't understand fixed attributes) but he still went for a decent price.

For my big sales I often put an extra zero on for good luck - if I put in say 150M then the listing won't go through (max asking price allowed is 40M) and I can just delete one zero.

At least you won't make the same mistake again.

Thanks

A better option than this (and one I always practice since seeing the number of posts in the forum where other managers have made this mistake) is to include the commas.

So if you want to sell for 40M, write out 40,000,000 instead of 40000000.

You will much more easily see if you've typed the wrong number.

In the meantime, hopefully someone puts in a fair bid for him.

Good idea!
Bod: 5.5M

Hopefully this will make you feel a bit better: if you'd listed him at 15M as you'd intended, nobody would have bid on him, so you've saved yourself 150k of listing fees for nothing.

He was probably worth about 10M but it's hopefully a valuable lesson learned.
