Oh well can't complain, I've had my name and Ebid visible on the side bar for six months now, since last October. It's good to know that others can be found as well.
The next thing I want to find out is how long "Ebid - theElench" stays on the side bar without my viewing any of my items to keep my interest registering. If it stays visible for a month, I'll make it part of my Ebid routine to view a couple of listings every three weeks. Hopefully, getting it to stay visible permanently.
