Has anyone ever experienced this:
You attempt to file a NPB alert for an auction, but the system says you had already filed it. You then attempt to file a FVF for that same auction, but the system says you have not yet filed an NPB.
I have one particular auction which is just sitting in limbo.

Is it by any chance part of a dutch auction?
With dutch auctions, you have to file all the NPB's at once. If you've already filed NPB for one user id, when you try later to file NPB on a different user id, it will give you that message 'already filed', because technically it is. BUT when you try to file FVF, it will say 'not yet filed', because technically it isn't.
From eBay Special note about Dutch Auctions: They work the same as other auctions with one exception: You may file a Non-Paying Bidder Alert Form only once per auction for as many bidders as necessary. That is, you cannot go back and file additional Alerts if you have more non-paying bidders from the same auction.
