Random unrelated photos inserted into listings?

I was viewing some of the items I listed on eBay yesterday.

 

One was a women’s linen blouse.

 

Imagine my surprise when - instead of the 4 photos I included of my shirt - I found 21 photos of someone’s protein powder?  

I have never bought, viewed, or listed protein powder on eBay. I don’t have these photos in my possession, so there’s no way I could have uploaded them to my listing. The header and description populated correctly, but where in the world did eBay get these protein powder photos from and why did they impose that gallery into my listing?? Is this why my sales have fallen off a cliff? Instead of displaying the photos and description that I take the time to provide, they randomly insert unrelated and spammy details into my listings?

Hmm dont see such on your listings.

A glitch maybe,

As for the no sales well clothing is a very competitive field. and that search thing just plain do not do as well as it should..

I am not seeing any weird photos in your listings.  I think your pics are great, btw.  I should come over there and shop.  😊

I did have a similar experience just this morning though.  I sold an item and I first looked on my app when it alerted me to the sale.  The picture shown was for something I had bought at one time - some shipping supplies - not the books I sold.  Very weird.  When I went to the desktop and checked orders awaiting shipment everything was fine, but that was a weird glitch.....

I was gonna buy something but it has frozen DVD pictures on it it was just a Lego set so i think it might be a scam.

Re: Random unrelated photos inserted into listings?

I had a similar thing happen - while uploading images of vintage bottles in a variations and noticed a photo of someones car ECU dash screen. I checked my photos and cache and I've never had that photo or seen the photo. I also can't find any answers to this being suspicious or just a glitch...but I'm likely going to call / notify ebay of this. Wish I had screenshot before deleting the image.
