I suggest, that we change the transfer market to "dutch auctions", where players are listed for an absurd amount of money, the price drops like every 15 minutes and the bidder, who entered the highest bid gets the player as soon as the amount is reached.

For example, I list one of my players for the moderate amount fo $5 million. A potential buyer enters 1 million, which is deducted from his balance instanteniously (just like now).

Every hour the price drops by 1-2,5 percent. As soon as it reaches the highest entered bid, the sale is finalized.

Pro: every player listed will be sold - no fake listings anymore.
Cons: possibly high server workload

Con: I can no longer choose the minimum price I am willing to let my player be sold for
