My product tags are wrong

I have 13 tags for every product. The problem is the tags showing aren't the tags I have entered. They are tags that are way off from the product I am selling. They are correct when I enter them but, when I look up a listing the tags aren't mine.

Re: My product tags are wrong

Hi, Your post prompted me to open one of my listings (not in Listings Manager, but thru my Shop Front). And when I scroll down, there are Explore Related Searches (circular photos), and Explore More Related Searches (black text with grey background). NONE of those are my Tags. I remember opening one of my listings before and I could see the Tags which I gave that listing. Now I do not see my Tags, just as you said.

Also, Etsy Search is suddenly dead, and when I try to find my own items under certain phrases, they don't come up in search results (for me and for others who are trying to find them on their devices). Before, I would see my items; then on another day they are gone. I would always see various phrases under Etsy Search in my Stats. My only Visibility thing has been (and still is), the Shipping price.

@DesignsTreasureShop  I found this Thread (from the end of July). It is about the same issue.

Etsy are no longer showing the seller's own tags on the bottom of the active listing's webpage. Instead they are showing their own related search terms. That's it. 

Your own tags are still valid and searchable - you just can't view them using that method anymore. If you want to check your tags quickly, you can see them on the listing page in shop manager with the 'quick edit' button turned on.

Re: My product tags are wrong

Yeah that's been going on for months now. Etsy is hiding the tags we add and adding related things. Unfortunately those 'related things' are rarely actually related to the listing or any tags we may have added.  And dont get me started on etsy adding IP infringing related things tags to listings. I looked at my listings and saw all kinds of bizarro things added. Example a t-shirt with adult humor and profanity on it that I tagged as mature as required had like 4 disney specific things added and baby onesies etc.  It's super annoying.

@DesignsTreasureShop: The tags which you enter on your listing are for search - Etsy may or may not also use them for the 'related searches' section on your customer facing listing.

Yes it has been going on a while.

What I hate most about it is that Etsy will add tags that make it appear that we are counterfeiting designer's work.

Etsy added a well know fashion designer's name to my tags in one of my listings. 
I certainly didn't use the designer's name. Not in my title, nor in my tags, nor in my description.

But when I removed all my tags, the Etsy-added ones disappeared as well.
