GetMyEbayBuying returns an item in both Won and Lost lists

Question

GetMyEbayBuying returns an item in both Won and Lost lists.  Why is this happening?

Answer

Summary

When calling GetMyeBayBuying, items may return in both Won and Lost lists.  Please take this into consideration when disigning your applications. 

Detailed Description

The scenario when an item may appear in both the Won and Lost list is when the item is a Buy It Now type.

1. A buyer makes a best offer.

2. This offer gets expired. This becomes the entry (best offer) in LostList.

3.  Later the same buyer selects the Buy It Now option, that becomes the entry (transaction) in WonList.
