when an auction is just listed, it doesn't always show up in the 'users' list until some time after... Remember, eBay has HUGE data farms so it will take a bit of time for one server to update them all.. If it isn't there after a few hours, then it could be a problem.

As the the affiliate thing, just to re-iterate, if you have a Commision Junction account, when you generate snippet, simply add your PID to the options before you render the code... It'll automatically embed your eBay affiliate code to the snippet code... Add the snippet code to your template as per instructions and Bob's your uncle.

(Oh, and yes, depending on how you configure the snippet, if the member isn't currently running an auction, it'll display random auctions, auctions from a defined catagory, or just a blank box with an ebay ad in it... If you don't like what it looks like, rebuild your snippet)
