LOL I know it is funny not funny @MissPussinBoots but that combination gives quite the visual image. This new thing of Etsy's is just quite laughably awful.

It's a randomly generated match up of items in your shop for a reason.
In shops that offer free shipping above $35, lower priced items are paired up in that space with a banner that says "Buy together to qualify for free shipping!" or something to that effect.
If that doesn't apply to you, there still has to be something in that space because all of the templates are the same.

That shipping combo doesn't apply to my shop. I have Free Shipping on all items in my shop and I don't have any items under $100. Read on it gets worse with some more examples from other shops.

Re: very inappropriate suggested " goes well with these items from my shop " notice to buy
In my other shop where I DO have things that actually GO together, this morning I find they have suggested pairing an antique floral design gold bangle with red coral and sterling silver southwestern earrings.
To quote Moon Zappa "Gag me with a spoon".
Or was that someone in Clueless who said that?
I don't remember.

Re: very inappropriate suggested " goes well with these items from my shop " notice to buy
I would love this feature if it paired a blouse that goes with a skirt, a scarf that goes with a coat, or a bracelet in the same style as a pair of earrings. I have many hundreds of items and can certainly find a great add-on myself for anything in my shops.
Instead - it suggests a bold 90s football t-shirt is the perfect add-on for a pastel 1950s lace party dress!! What??
I feel like the add-ons are actually the most different than can possibly be, as if the AI were searching for "the opposite of this" in its recommendations!

@MorningGlorious : Perhaps they have implemented ALOI (artificial lack of intelligence).

Ah where is Regretsy of something like it. These combinations would be something to see put out there in an article about them.

@SilverSeasDesigns -- I've noticed the same sometimes totally idiotic suggestions of a companion piece, such as denim gaucho pants with a precious floor-length evening gown. WTH? Nothing you, the seller can do except eave a note on each listing that it wasn't you coming up with these stupid combinations. To interfere in a seller's listings with these tacky companion suggestions how about providing better customer service instead of coming up with these totally stupid and unusable ideas?

I'm late to the party on this one, as I've only just seen it in a shop. Great idea if the pieces chosen actually work with the main item, but not if they don't. I believe it's called 'up selling' and I have this option on my own website and use it where possible. However, the difference is that I get to choose which items work well together, not the website deveopers.

I've noticed that this feature is gone from my shop and other shops I've seen it in. Hopefully, they've removed it for good or at the very least; taken our feedback on board and are improving it so that we get to choose what gets featured or that the algorithms pick better selections. One can hope.
