So, I get a Best Offer and click the email just to see which Locomobile ad it is and I see at the top of the screen a box offering to show me similar items to mine:

Could this be a test auction?
There was a post the other week about the red warning of slow shipping and that auction had an offering of similar items as well as the red warning.

This is not a red warning as my DSRs are all 4.9,4.8.
It is eBay offering a customer who found this particular ad via Google more items from other buyers on the (my) Landing Page. This is a regular who buys from my Vendio store too.
I was just surprised to see eBay offering other Locomobile ads on my live listing. What was funny is that I clicked on it and it took me to New England Patriot stuff.

Hey Beth
I'm not suggesting that it's a DSR warning - but maybe a test on just offering other items on select listings. Regardless I think it's bad business on ebay's part.

I thought that maybe it was the "guest view" but I signed out (but didn't clear cookies) and searched and found one of your Locomobile ads but didn't see the same thing. Must have been some kind of test or else maybe I should have tried clearing cookies.

If this is a link from Google, I think they have been like this for quite a while. I noticed this a long time ago when clicking a Google search result that goes to ebay.
