“We found something similar” Inappropriate Adult-rated Mismatch

[wsparkman]

I clicked on the link to a small, handmade cutesy dragon figurine I had been watching that recently ended in order to see the sale price and was shocked to see what came up under the “We found something similar” listing eBay now shows!

“Bee Costume Dragon Sculpture by Dragons and Beasties” came up with “PHICEN 1/6 scale Seamless Female Figure PALE Body L bust Steel Skeleton S07C”, an explicit large-busted nude figure with “women secret parts” as the something similar not once but twice in separate searches - one not signed in on the app and the second signed in on my browser.  I have attached the screenshot.

 I am not a prude but as a librarian, I have a problem with whatever glitch links a g-rated “safe for all ages”  item to an “18+, Mature Adult” listing as being similar items.  

This type of item has never appeared in any search I have made in over a dozen years, including many searches for dolls and various types of figures - the closest connection I can see is that, as a doll collector, I do have a saved search for an “Ellowyne Wilde doll nude”.

Additional information- I found out (through the seller’s Facebook) that the same page seems to show up for everyone who views a particular sold listing.

brian@ebay   We keep having age-inapproriate items linked to in various ways.  This needs to be fixed!  At some point someone will be offended to the point of filing regulatory complaints.

Thanks for the report @wsparkman, I'll send this feedback over to the correct team. Thanks for the tag, @dtexley3!

That poor Bee Dragon is no longer linked to the nude - now it’s linked to a well-endowed demon!
