item description does not match item being sold on every listing I view ...

[ilsebella]

Every listing I have visited in the past few days reflects a description relating to some kind of clock ... it doesn't matter if I am viewing details in clothing, shoes, makeup, jewelery ... etc.  the same description for this clock appears.

Anyone know what this is about?

Your time is up?

Have you closed your computer right down and let it rest for half an hour then started it up again?

That's weird.

I'm not exactly clear about what you are describing.  You say every listing "reflects a description".  Are you saying that no matter which listing you view, you also get an ad for a clock?  Does this appear in a box on the right side of the listing, underneath the info about the seller?  It is an embedded advertisement, reflecting past browsing history.  Here is eBay's explanation:
