selling items on Ebay, why are other sellers' items under my listing.

[rail322012]

WHY IS EBAY SHOWING OTHER SELLERS PRODUCTS UNDER MY LISTING.  YOU CAN'T EVEN READ MY FULL LISTING WITH OUT SEEING MOST OF THE PAGE WITH OTHER LISTINGS. SINCE EBAY IS MAKING QUITE A BIT OF MONEY OFF MY SALES, THEY SHOULDNT ADVERTISE OTHER LISTINGS UNDER MINE. IF THEY DO IT SHOULD BE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE NOT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE SO YOU HAVE TO SEE OTHER SELLERS PRODUCT BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN FINISH LOOKING AT MINE.

They are making even more money from those promoted listings that are in the middle of your listings. They are in all of our listings. 

They are also showing you similar items that you looked at, in the hopes that you will purchase something, so they can make even more money from you, via fees to those sellers. It's all about the bottom line. Theirs, not yours. Sorry.

It sucks they do it in the middle of the listing. They should let the person that clicked on your listing read it all the way instead of the listing being interrupted with promoted items. Teey should promote them at the end of the listing if they must.

This has been beaten to death already and eBay isn't going to change it, despite sort of promises to do so.

If you have enough listings, your own listings will appear there.

Good gravy, why didn't anybody notice this before?

[allthings-collectible]

Whether it's been "beaten to death" or not, the OP may be new to the conversation and has the right to ask.

[allthings-collectible]

Perhaps its been several months since the OP listed an item?

[hartungcards]

Perhaps it's been several years since the OP looked at any listings.

Either way this is so wrong and needs to be dealt with

[az93]

You agreed to it. It was in the fine print.

Absolutely the OP has the right to ask, although SHOUTING at us is unnecessary, and anyone here has the right to link the OP to the hundreds of previous threads on the topic, rather than replying anew.

There is nothing to deal with.  Sellers pay to have their listings promoted.  eBay promotes those listings in this way.  Done deal. 

I don't like it either, as a seller or a buyer, but it's been this way for a long time now, and I see no reason at all for it to change. 

I don't like the similar crud on other on-line marketplaces, by the way, but I do not expect it to change on them, either.  It is the way and the model of e-commerce now.

The ads at the bottom of the page are easy enough to get rid of, the stuff above the description can't be undone.

I'm going to give up thinking that individuals are capable of actually searching topics on a basic chat board rather than just running here and blasting off, though I don't mind providing a link to previous discussions. I guess it just seems so basic to me. 😒
