The "suggestions" we have to endure when we lose an action are probably sponsored items too I guess?

Not always. I was bidding on a lot of low(ish) value items from a local seller and when I missed out on winning an auction the "suggestion" was mostly another one of the seller's items.....sometimes one that was still on my watch list and sometimes one that I had already won.
None of them was ever a sponsored item.....that seller never used them.

So their "choices" are probably based on similar words in titles, descriptions etc.
I have never really examined the situation because I usually quickly close the tab after losing because their suggestions are irritating. If I want to buy or bid on another item I can look for an alternative myself. Later today for example I want to bid on an item and if I don't win I already have an alternative tomorrow.

Similar items in my case are absolutely rubbish compared to what I'm after lol.
