I have been receiving emails from eBay as I usually do showing the results of my saved searches. However, lately, some of the results have NOTHING to do with my search keywords, but when I look on the seller's page for those keywords, they are nowhere to be found. So, I take a look at the "Page Source," which shows the HTML coding for the page, and there are several uses of MY PERSONAL keywords in the coding! Somehow, they are getting access to my keywords and using them so their items show up in my Saved Search emails even though the item is completely unrelated to my search. For instance, I have a search for "hard rock berlin leather jacket" and I got a result for beanie babies and Pokeman cards. Nowhere in the description was "hard rock berlin leather jacket." Upon searching the page source, there were 8 instances of "hard rock berlin leather jacket." This must definitely be against eBay policy, but I am even more concerned that they have access to my keywords?! Anybody else having this issue and if so, how are you dealing with it?
