You are not sure if it was what you were looking for?

Wrong colour?

Doesn't match any of your outfits?

They likely have nylon construction.
Ebay, and many other sites try to skew your search results to previous things you've bought... So what else have you been look at and buying?

On a more serious note, it's probably keyword spamming causing it.
