[Pct] Another big-as-a-barn can't-get-an-application filed bug in Patent Center?

[David Boundy]

A couple weeks ago when nothing was 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.

The application papers are in the Patent Center file wrapper, but the
"Application Information" page is not populated.

I need to pay the fees.   I check all the boxes and -- the fee for
"International Filing Fee (first 30 sheets) with ePCT zip file" isn't in
the 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.

I have about 10 more days before the fees must be paid.  Should I just wait
until the application gets to WIPO, and then pay ePCT?   Or send a paper
check?

I have not called EBC.   I don't need them to tell me that Patent Center is
misbehaving and that they can't do anything about it.
