I had a trade accepted a few days ago and it was supposed to go through this morning. But when I checked this morning, there was nothing. I'm having the same roster as yesterday for tomorrow. The notice of a pending trade is gone, but there was no transactions recorded in the transactions page. There wasn't even a mention of it being vetoed. It's like the trade never happened before.

I looked around the website and I can't find a link to a support page or an email address to the support crew. Can anybody help me?

trade again and have the commish approve it immediately.

what probably happenned...one of the rosters involved with the trade has too many players. Have seen it happen a few times where it is a 2 for 1 trade and someone is dropping someone...then the person drops the player before hand and picks up another player or a player comes off of the DL.

Ah, that should explain it. It's a bug then.

It's a public league, so there's no commish.

yep, Chicago is most likely right. I had the same problem earlier this season where the other team picked up someone to fill a spot on their roster after we agreed to a 2 for 1. It is kind of annoying that there is no warning the trade wont go through.

Someone's gotta tell Yahoo about it. That's not right.

I agree...it is a way some use to change their mind on trades.

Sounds like ChicagoTRS's answer is the case or one of the parties involved in the trade dropped one of the players in the trade before it was completed. That's one of the problems with the Yahoo trade process IMO, they don't freeze the players involved and prior to the trade effective date, a player in the trade can be waived for someone else, or even traded for another player. I have seen it happen this season in Yahoo.

I've seen coaches offer the same player in multiple deals and have both deals accepted by different coaches. The b*tching that goes on when the first trade goes through and the 2nd one was a better deal is really funny sometimes. It almost caused it occur in a trade earlier this year, so I know it can happen.

I'd have to presume one of these 2 situations (ChicagoTRS or trade) occurred. Go back and check the waived player list and see if one of the players involved isn't on it. Good luck in any event.
