Thank you for posting. Some filers might not have a Deposit Account
in which case this approach does not work. I suppose the filer
could fax in a Form 2038.<br>

working, using Patent Center, I tried to file a PCT
application with an ePCT zip file. Nothing was working
(I think that was the day Patent Center just crashed,
seconds after I submitted this very application), so i
didn't pay the fees.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I need to pay the fees. I check all
the boxes and -- the fee for "International Filing Fee

selectable lsit. The only fee is " INTERNATIONAL FILING
FEE (FIRST 30 PAGES - FILED ELECTRONICALLY WITHOUT EPCT OR
PCT-EASY .ZIP FILE)" (which isn't me), and the listed fee
is pretty clearly wrong, based on my RO101 from ePCT. I
have goofed around a bit to try to get the right fee
calculation, no can do.<o:p></o:p></p>
