womandi, i deleted the closed listings "mistakes" on my own and have not had a recurrence.
so save yourself some time and relist the 103 from closed listings.
it has worked all week and believe me i check every day twice a day for duplicates after the lovely suspension after the auctiva outage.
again, i thank you for such complete documentation. i know it helps me...if nothing else than to know its not just me.
if it weren't for a couple of other folks here on forum i'd never know if the incidents were isolated.
