How to Cancel an Existing STEEM Internal Marketplace Order

in #steemhelp8 years ago (edited)


Looking to use the internal marketplace for the first time everything was smooth up until after placing the order. After the order was placed I noticed many new orders changing and I needed to adjust my bid... 

Not so fast! 

Oh no!  The market has adjusted and I have no easy way in the GUI to update my bid. :(

Unfortunately the front-end currently has no way to do this.  For the time being you'll need do this from the CLI_WALLET.   This is very useful if you want to re-adjust your bid - otherwise your transaction will be locked until executed. 

Here is the simple way to do that:

1.   Head to http://steemd.com and locate your user

2.  In your account ledger you'll see the transaction you place, click it open and make note of the "order id"

It will look something like this

3.  Once in your CLI_WALLET execute this command

cancel_order user "your_transaction_id_without_commas" true

It's important to put the transaction id without the commas or it will fail. 

4.  Refresh your user and now your funds(steem/steem dollars) are now available again

5.  Place a new bid if you wish!

That's strange! For me the internal market GUI does have the cancel order button. Have you tried refreshing the page?

@scrawl Yep, it's definitely there now! At the time of this post there was a few days the front end was updating and wanted to give an alternative option from the cli wallet.
