Purchased a couple of coins off of Teletrade and now eBay is showing me exclusively those coins!

I purchased a couple of high grade PCGS Sacagaweas off of a Teletrade auction a few days ago and now when I go into eBay- even though I haven't logged in yet and even though I haven't searched for those type of coins there- find the first page loads with a bunch of Sacagwea auctions ("Recommendations for You").
Can't really explain it but thought it odd enough to inquire here.

    I think it's a cookie thing.

    You left crumbs of where you have been on your broswer. Ever notice the stuff at the top of the page here looks very much like what you looked at on eBay too.

    facebook and google do this pretty much everywhere you go on the web. ebay must have a deal with teletrade.

    I did check Sacagawea values here on the PCGS website too but still "blame" it on eBay (I don't think it's a bad thing- just a curiosity.)

    Ebay, facebook, google.....they are all pretty serious about invading your privacy to sell you something or put targetted ads in front of you for their own gain, not yours.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    and let's look at the word: cookies

    what does it have to do with anything it does?

    when this term came out years ago, I knew it was a soft peddle way of selling the "tracking you" idea to people. If they had called them tracking crumbs, there would have been a revolt.

    enjoying your cookies?

    So can anyone here actually replicate this teletrade/ebay "crossover"?

    I can't.

    Also, op, how did you pay teletrade?

    (specifically wondering if you used paypal)

    ..... and this week a very large software / search engine company is changing their privacy policy to allow even more sharing of information between software platforms.
