You may not be aware of it but ebay has opted you in to participating in the "Ad Choice Program".
You can opt out here:
My eBay > My Account > Preferences > Advertising Preferences
"We may use information we have about you to make sure that the ads you see, on the eBay site or elsewhere, are as relevant to you as we can make them. We think these relevant AdChoice ads will personalize and improve your eBay experience. Any information we use for AdChoice follows the eBay Privacy Policy.
We may work with other companies, like website operators and ad networks, to show these ads to you. We do not share any information with other website operators and, our ad network partners have access only to some anonymous information about you (like eBay search terms, demographics and categories of interest), which they use to select the proper ads to display. We don't share your personal information with any of these companies, and we have controls in place designed to keep them from identifying you.
You have choices about whether we use your information in this way. You can tell us not to share any of your anonymous information with our ad network partners, and you can tell us not to use your information to show you relevant eBay ads on other websites. Anywhere you see the AdChoice button you can click on it to control how your information is used. If you opt out of AdChoice, you'll still see ads, they just won't be tailored to your interests."

I found that last week and changed it. I check regularly, you never know what has been added. The one that makes me smile is under Seller Promotions and Newsletters, they still have "free listing day". How long is it since we had one of them??
