I normally search for items on ebay using my PC. I browse behind a VPN, signed out of ebay, and set my browser to delete cookies and site data upon exit. Recently, I have been searching for three particular items- a specific brand of camping backpack, a 1980s retro computer and a Nokia 3310 phone.
Today I looked at ebay on my iPad. Again, there is a VPN on the device, I was signed out of ebay, and I use Firefox Focus which clears everything upon exit.
I typed in the name of my backpack brand and alongside the listings were two "related search" suggestions- the 1980s retro computer and a Nokia 3310 phone.
How does ebay know this about me ???!!!
