Bidder won the widget. No word from him so I emailed him several times and after 7 days filed a NPB. I have a 2nd bidder. At what point can I send a Second Chance Offer to him/her?

I would only use it AFTER you have closed your dispute and have your fees back. Personally, I never use the Second Chance offer,

Very few people take the Second Chance offer so it can be a waste of time.
I have used it a few time and had only one taker.

Depends on how much they bidded,if it is too far from the open bid,they figure you have to relist and they can have it for less!
Or if it is an impulsive buy,they just lost interest and move on to another chase!
The thrill is gone !

I too have had only one second-chance offer accepted. I think too many buyers impulsively bid on something, and by the time they get my offer, they're on to something else.

When I've had multiples of an item, I've offered second chance offers on occasion. Never a bite! I send them out literally a minute after the auction, and include text that if they have any doubts about the authenticity of the offer, to call me at the phone number shown in the original auction.
So, 60 seconds after Joe bid $97 for something, was outbid by $1 or so, he has a chance to get the item for $97. An economist would predict that Joe will opt to buy it, since someone else validated that the item is "worth" at least $97. Nope; go figure.

I only have one of these items. Now I see there is one listed by someone else for 1/2 of what I got for it.
OK will go thru the NPB process and then try the 2nd chance and if no offer then relist.
they may have been bidding against each other for spite.
