| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| * While the website shown on-screen in ''[[Random Shoes (TV story)|Random Shoes]]'' was identified in dialogue as eBay, it did not match eBay's real-world appearance.
| |
| * After [[search-wise.net]], eBay is the second website portrayed in televised [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' Universe]] media which actually exists on the Internet, and was not put online as a marketing tie-in by the [[British Broadcasting Corporation]]. It is the first real-world website portrayed performing the function it does in reality.
| |
| * According to the pseudo-narrative — and therefore [[T:VALID|invalid as a source]] — [[Torchwood website|''Torchwood'' website]], [[Dogon]] sixth eyes began appearing on eBay after the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]], and became very popular in [[Belgium]].
