Ebay is using sold and completed listings to promote other sellers items for sellers that are paying them for promoted listings. There is usually a link to the actual item. Also in search results below the blue link to the actual item there will be another link that says similar items. It pulls up a garbled distorted version of the items description page. The description is only partial and usually the last paragraph of the description. This normally only goes over multiple shipping options or international shipping options. In most cases it does not properly describe the item. If the item is used and has condition issues it makes it look like the seller is not properly describing their items and the condition they are in. The links to the actual item page and sellers other items are not clearly marked and hidden around multiple other links so it is unlikely the buyer will fallow them. After the buyer decides not to buy the item or look at other items from the seller. They scroll down to see 10 to 15 other items in the same category. Usually they will not be that similar other than being in the same catagory and price range will vary. The only reason they are there to direct the buyer to other items sellers are paying ebay to promote for them. This is being done at the expense of other sellers. It drives traffic away from their items and makes it less likely that buyers will buy their item since it looks like the seller is not honest about condition. It also makes it less likely they will consider buying other items from the same seller.
