I have submitted one of sites, but I don't think we ever got listed. Never went back to check until now. I don't think if it makes a huge difference nowadays. Although to have a listing is probably a bonus.

I submitted but same story as the rest of you, not heard anything back. There was a pretty small amount of listings for electronic recycling though so secretly I keep my hopes up.

Prize for the first one to get in ?
