Sorare Counteroffers: Player Card Trades and Revised Terms

Responding to a Live Card Offer

An incoming direct offer can be accepted, declined or revised while it remains available. If the intended revision cannot use the available cards or payment options, declining avoids accepting an unwanted exchange.

The Received Terms

A direct offer names specific cards and any monetary component; read both sides, including who sends the money. Player names alone do not distinguish every copy that a manager owns. A counteroffer may add or remove cards, so a familiar-looking proposal can represent a different exchange.

A Revised Proposal

The counteroffer controls allow supported changes to the proposal. Its recipient must agree to the revised exchange before the trade can proceed. A sent counteroffer records proposed terms; completed card movements and settled funds establish the transfer. List or Play applies across all sports when a manager initiates a sale or trade. Including a card in a trade offer requires acknowledging its removal from live and upcoming lineups. Any lineup containing that card becomes ineligible for scoring in the relevant competition. Receiving an offer alone does not invalidate a lineup; accepting the offer does when your outgoing card is in that lineup. A completed sale or trade invalidates the transferred card in current lineups.

Sport and Payment Boundaries

A counteroffer must keep its cards within a single sport and use a compatible payment composition. Football, NBA and MLB cards cannot share the same offer. Cash or supported cryptocurrency can accompany cards where the editor permits that combination. Cash and cryptocurrency cannot appear together in the proposal. These limits apply even when both managers own the requested cards and agree privately.

Cash and Crypto Payment Choices

The payment options available for the offer determine how its monetary component can settle. Wallet setup and the selected payment currency matter before a manager sends or accepts revised terms.

Cash Wallet Funding

Your Cash Wallet needs sufficient available funds for the cash you propose to pay. When that payment exceeds your balance, the platform prompts a deposit before you send the counteroffer. Cash Wallet activation requires personal information and a currency choice, while deposit access requires the applicable identification and authentication process. The selected cash currency also governs receipts from Manager Sales. Funding the wallet through a bank card is separate from choosing the player cards included in a counteroffer.

Crypto Payment Configuration

The Crypto Wallet supports ETH and SOL, with the preferred crypto balance shown across the platform. Use the currency that the actual offer specifies and the options that its editor supports. A cash equivalent expresses a comparison value; it does not change a crypto payment into cash. Preparing or signing an offer also remains separate from completing the exchange.

Card Identity and Trading Utility

Every card in a revised deal should match the exact collectible you intend to exchange. Check the player, sport, season and scarcity, using the serial number to distinguish copies with otherwise similar labels.

Added or removed cards change the agreement, even when the monetary amount stays unchanged. The counteroffer alert flags additions and removals, and the revised selection identifies the cards in the proposed exchange.

Receiving a tradable card does not automatically qualify a lineup, because eligibility follows its attributes and the relevant competition rules. Its sport and permitted card category must match the competition where you intend to use it.

Secondary-market transfers affect accumulated card XP and can change the card’s level. The level shown before a trade can therefore differ from the level after transfer. That ownership effect is separate from the athlete’s expected match performance.

A listed price expresses what an owner asks. Recent sales and auction results supply comparison points, although different seasons, scarcities and levels can affect comparability. A bundle’s agreed terms establish this exchange, without fixing the resale value of its cards.

A Hypothetical Card-Only Revision

In this hypothetical case, another manager offers cash for a tradable card you own. You would accept a particular card from the same sport instead, with no money changing hands. Assume both cards are available for selection in the counteroffer editor. The counteroffer replaces the offered money with the desired incoming card while keeping your outgoing card. Review the edited composition before sending: it should identify your outgoing card and requested incoming card, with no monetary component.

After the other manager accepts and the transfer completes, the requested card enters your gallery and your offered card leaves it.

The proposed exchange cannot proceed as intended if the requested card becomes unavailable or the editor prevents that card-only composition. A different card or an added payment changes the terms that you were willing to accept. Decline or revise those terms before approving an alternative.

Trade Fees and Payment Costs

Trade costs depend on applicable marketplace charges and the payment method used to fund the exchange. The transaction summary identifies charges before confirmation. Deposits and withdrawals can involve separate provider or bank fees. Sorare absorbs network fees for core platform actions on Base and Solana; unrelated funding costs can remain. Read the payment and receipt amounts after any displayed deductions, since an agreed card value alone does not describe these cash flows.

Offer Timing and Transfer Status

Negotiation time concerns a manager’s response, while transfer time concerns the execution of an accepted exchange. A typical response-time indicator describes trading behavior and cannot promise a reply to this offer. An email notification alerts a manager to an incoming proposal, which must remain available for acceptance. An expired offer cannot be accepted.

A pending transfer can indicate transaction review, so it does not establish completed delivery. The gallery and relevant wallet activity show the actual card and money movements.

Platform support can investigate an accepted exchange that remains unresolved. Retain the offer and transaction details needed to identify the affected cards and payment.

Acceptance Errors and Marketplace Fairness

Acceptance commits to the cards and payment terms in the offer that the manager approves. Mistaken amounts and unintended card selections therefore affect the exchange itself.

Mistaken Acceptance

Sorare cannot overturn a completed card trade because a manager accepted the offer by mistake. Check the final outgoing and incoming cards, the payment direction and the payment currency before acceptance. Earlier messages do not change the proposal that you approve.

Discounted Transfers Between Accounts

Card movements between accounts are monitored for abuse. Receiving a substantial share of a gallery at significantly below-market values can trigger scrutiny for possible multi-accounting or unfair pooling and suspension from competitions. Continued noncompliance can lead to an indefinite ban of the account and associated accounts. The rule does not define a numerical discount that makes every discounted transfer acceptable. Negotiated terms remain subject to the account rules that govern card movements and competitive fairness.
