[QUOTE="jetman, post: 860873, member: 63028"] Well I am not signed in to Firefox, ebay or anything when I am browsing. Fingerprinting doesn't make sense because I am using 2 different devices (a PC and an iPad). I only searched for these items using the PC previously. I only used the iPad for ebay once. Plus an iPad would presumably generate the same fingerprint as milions of others ? All I can think of is that ebay's systems are not tracking me. Instead, the systems have learnt to associated one of the items I have searched for with some of the other things I search for. Given the millions of people using ebay each day, I find that unlikely- but its my best guess. [/QUOTE]
