Can I find out who my followers are?
I have 9 followers and I can't understand why anyone would bother with me. Is there a way to find out who they are? I'm just curious.

OP1 year agoI don't think it is really stalking, I was just turning around the "investigating" line someone else used.
Thanks for the info, folks! Good to know I've got at least 9 people who like me - for whatever reason!

No, eBay will not disclose the names of your followers for privacy reasons. (What user would want a seller "investigating" them.)
You likely gained those followers long ago when you were an active seller. The types of items you were selling would have been of interest to people who collect those kinds of things. Your followers either don't clean up their lists or they hope you'll start selling again.

OP1 year agoThanks. So people can only follow sellers? One can't just randomly pick people and start following them?
Yeah I could see people not wanting sellers "investigating" them, but on the other hand, I could see sellers not wanting buyers "stalking" them. 🙂

I am not a seller, but I do have "followers" on Ebay. It does not bother me and I don't perceive it as "stalking" since they can't see any personal information.
I do have favorite sellers that I do follow.

Following a seller is not "stalking" them. Buyers follow sellers because they are interested in the items they have for sale and like to check back to see if there is something currently listed that they would like to buy.
I don't know why you would want to follow a buyer who isn't selling anything as there isn't really anything of interest to see, but you can do it by going to any member's About page and click the heart icon.
Usually when you follow a seller, you'll just click the heart icon on his item list to save the seller.
