Who is Commandeering My eBay Buying Console?

[robw1959]

Last week, some random card popped up on my buyer's console, but I have no idea how it got there. I did not add it to my watch list, but there it was anyway. I just ignored the incident, thinking I may have accidentally added it, even though I had zero interest in that particular card.

Fast forward one week and it just happened again! Some Mayo's Plug card with a starting bid of $1900 just mysteriously popped up on my console. Now I know eBay has been becoming more and more aggressive in their marketing - doing things like sending listings I only checked out once (but never added them to my watch list) to my email account, showing how much time was left in the listing, just as if I had listed them myself. And, of course, I am always seeing those listings I recently click on showing up in the margins of my console. But this new marketing ploy, if that's what it is, is downright intrusive!

Has anyone else experienced some random listings just somehow showing up alongside the ones that are supposed to be there on the buying console?
