'See search results that fit your vehicle'

Ok, so what is with eBay taking to promoting car parts on fashion pages? Right at the top of my page 'see sellers other items' is this ridiculous banner promoting vehicle parts. I have messaged and talked with them several times and even at their own admission have had numerous complaints from other clothing sellers and have also said to me this is inappropriate. AND YET they refuse to remove it! How would car part sellers like to have dresses, shoes and other clothing items on their page that says 'FIND THE GARMENT THAT FITS' (I don't think so) this has gone beyond reasonable cross promoting.

I get it too, and it doesn't matter what category I'm looking at.

 

Just ignore - it's not hard to do.

Why should I ignore when I pay for a store, pay a lot of seller fees and it has nothing to do with what I sell! Guessing you are a dude who does not have a store! So I'll ignore your comment ๐Ÿ™‚

Wrong on both counts.

 

But I'm devastated that you're going to ignore me.

 

How will I get over this snub?

 

Woe is me.   ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

You need to think of eBay as a shopping mall. You are paying a fee/commission to host on eBay's platform & what they do around your listing is up to them (which you would would have agreed to in the T&Cs)

Like a shopping mall, a buyer may walk past many other stores before arriving at your store. There may be other clothing shops and even a car parts retailer. You cannot control what other stores sell/advertise etc (just like eBay).

I'd be happy if the other items shown were of no relevance to what I was selling  (better than showing other sellers exact same item at a lower price)

I wonder if you actually know what  R2R  was referring to.

I'm pretty sure ebay asked me to name the make of the vehicle, or some such bizarre option, when I was looking at shoes. I just thought "ebay is a bunch of **bleep**ers" (if bleep is inserted, rhymes with bankers) and moved on.
