Why are there dept. stores on my item traits that don't belong there??

I went to check my item traits, and i found at the end of many of my items, the names of stores like Sears, JC Penney, Bloomingdales….and more! these are at the end of my item traits! They don’t belong there, I did not put them there and I did not purchase these items at those stores! How did those stores get at the end of my item traits?

Related retailer is one of the item traits used on the main search page.

It is to help searchers look for related items that they may have seen in the stores.

Everyone, who has items that are related to or are items, ie, fashion, handbags, toys…etc that may be in dept stores also have the the Related Retailer item trait…

You will see the related retailers as one of the search criteria in the left hand column to help narrow search

I reported them to support and they said they would remove mine which is 60% of my listings. I would have to send them each link which is very time consuming.

It is not an error, it is part of the search criteria “similar items”. To remove it from your listings, removes your listings from some of the search options

This is a reply from [URL removed] It sounds like you are referring to the related retailers showing up on your listings. That will disappear soon, as it comes and goes from the site. If you would like to request the removal of this feature, you can do so [URL removed] www.bonanza.com/site_help/new_feature
