Yes, if the buyer is the owner of the player, they can play POs

Once the player is sold to a second team, he can't play POs, even if he is rebought by his former team.
About the second part, there are some special circumstances where a user can regret having put on sale one of his players, so for me it's ok that those players are allowed to play. The game shape question could be discussed though

Is the GS drop after repurchasing your own player an intended consequence? I'm not sure it has ever been clarified

I can't say it 100% sure. Most probably intended, but I think it's something that can be discussed.

Before they changed it, I believe that:
- after you repurchased you could still sell at 97% (no idea why it should drop to by 20% or more).
- the transaction didn't count towards the 'purchases' in the last 14 weeks because this system was introduced much later.
- didn't have GS hit (again this might have been before the GS hit was introduced).

I think all of these points are somewhat problematic and probably don't encourage people to list players in order to see if they can get what they believe is a fair price: after all you're not really buying a new player but just retaining your own. Personally I've been annoyed in the past by the GS hit more than anything else.

Any change affecting a transfer between teams, also affects a repurchase except for things that are based on continuity of tenure with a team (like the playoff issue listed above, HoF eligibility etc).

It makes sense to think about it.
It will be interesting to have more opinions about this subject.

I accidentally deleted my message trying to correct a language mistake, sigh.

Btw they are no big issues but I've always been a bit disappointed by the fact that there is almost no difference compared to a purchase from another team. I wouldn't waste resources on this though.

I don't think it would take a lot of work to change if a change it's decided.
