EXTREME ALERT !!!
I was looking at bracelets and ran into an entire line of Sponsored Search Engines at the bottom of the page. I just spent 30 minutes trying to report this to someone on Ebay but all you get is a round about circle even on the Security page. These search engine for the most part are scammers and hackers and should not be on Ebay. Most of them flourish on the Dark Web. Here is the first one that pops up with a link. Ebay should not be putting up hackers and scammer links on their site. They have five of these on that one page.
Below is the first one. I had to edit this so that the link will not work. It could within a blink of the eye put a virus in your computer or phone.
ACCORDING TO GOOGLE: "The term "Nation online search engine" primarily refers to search.nation.com, which is widely reviewed as a potentially unwanted application or browser hijacker rather than a legitimate, independent search engine. It modifies browser settings without explicit user consent, often bundling with other free software. "

Many sites rely upon major advertising services to police these ads. These advertising services regularly serve rogue actors who can do you great harm, and act to protect their own revenue. Even Google's ad services will serve harmful ads.
Fortunately, the typical internet user ignores 99% of ads and never suffers any ill effects. It is the infrequent internet user who gets ripped off.
