This has been the standard for well over a year with eBay and drives me nuts. It has nothing to do with political advertising it has to do with their search engine. They have changed the perimeters of what it brings in and grabs completely unrelated items the programming feels is related for extra sales.
Every single search brings in screen filling nonsense even with the most specific search. As mentioned above it now requires the use of subtraction of words or what I find most useful, using quotation marks.
As it is using the common word “baseball” and disregarding the scrapbook with the engine, next time add quotation to the specialized word it is disregarding. I would search using baseball and “scrapbook” “scrap book” and “scrapbooks” in three searches. This should kill the eBay extra items.
Without the quotation it’s grabbing any baseball related scrapbook items. As you can see each and every one of those knockoff hats are all listed in the scrapbooking section so it’s pulling them all.
