Typing "ebid" into the allotted space for your new page takes you to a form to be completed...this informs you that "ebid" is already taken, so your surmise is correct.
Now I have to guess (and you are probably going to need input from above) but my first defence would be to clear all caches (i.e. all temporary files including the internet ones) It's surprising what problems this old trick can clear.
If clearing does not do it then it's submit ticket time. Good luck.
