UPDATE - eBid Store urls changes to http://store-title.ebid.net

Is admin saying to change our store URLs from/to example:

http://us.ebid.net/Heartfelt-Faith

to

http://Heartfelt-Faith.ebid.net

Confused...what else is new. Problem being when I put that second URL in what I get is the main eBid buy page...eeek!:eek:

There is no need to change anything. The old URLs will continue to work.

The new shorter ones seem to go to the same URL anyway as:

http://Heartfelt-Faith.ebid.net (http://heartfelt-faith.ebid.net/)

opens up as:

http://uk.ebid.net/perl/main.cgi?mo=user-store&title=heartfelt-faith

So looks like the new ones are just a shorthand version. I'll have to bow to admin's greater knowledge how that helps SEO if the actual URL is the same.
