No, it's perfectly legal.

If you don't like the practice, do not bid on players where the selling team has a bid.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me

I think it's not a good idea to leave the question unregulated... If a gamer finds himself in a situation that force him to get his player back from transfer due to injuries for example it could be easier to add an option to get the player back paying a small fee... in this way bidding on owned player could be declared illegal.

By biddin on a player of mine I can fake the final price and also by doing this in the end of the bidding i can extend the bidding time by 10 or more minutes!!

We understand that.

The official position is that bidding on your own players is legal.

How often does this happen?

I don't think I've seen any (although I've been around for a relatively short period of time) auctions where this has happened but was always curious if it was allowed.

Here and there, I'd say.

It's not widespread, but it's not unheard of either.

If you win the auction on your own player, you are already paying a small fee because you don't get to keep the entire auction price. Additionally, you'll get an even smaller percentage of the auction price when you decide to relist the player. And, finally, I think that most people would stay away from an auction if they saw that someone had bid on their own player. So, you might be able to extend the deadline (though I fail to see what that would accomplish), but you'll get stuck with the guy and wind up losing money.

It's worth leaving the option in for those who have listed their players in a fit of drunken rage and decide in the morning that they'd actually prefer not to sell them.
Not that I have ever done this. Well, not with this game anyway ;-)

Pops can occur to.

Can the owner bid more than he is currently having btw?

And if he bought his own player, he do not recive the 100% of the money, remember de tax, and when the player is rebuy by the same team the tax increase a big amount (the less you recive from the player means a bigger tax), so sometimes is not a good idea to bid for your own player.

Who cares?!

Yes, it is not clver to do that, you better think about whether sell a player or not and for how much in advance. The drunken cases...lol:)
