HOW TO FIND OUT WHO FOLLOWERS ARE

Why do you need to know who is following you?
Followers do not equate with potential buyers. I have many sellers I am following that has nothing to do with potentially buying from them.
Ebay does not allow sellers to know the identities of their followers for privacy purposes.

OP3 years agoWELL YOU ASK WHY, BECAUSE I WAS SERIOUSLY STALKED BY SOMEONE, AND ONE OF THESE FOLLOWERS HAS PRIVATE ACCOUNT AND I KEEP GETTING OFFERS FROM BUYERS WHO NEVER PAY AND IF I ACCEPT THE OFFER IT TAKES THE ITEM OFF THE SHELF. WHY DO I NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BLOCK PEOPLE WHO NEVER PAY? MABEY I SHOULD LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT VENUE. I HAD A 1200 POSITIVE FEEDBACK RATING AND THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME MY OLD ACCOUNT BACK BECAUSE I COULD NOT ANSWER EBAY BACK WITH AN OLD EMAIL ACCOUNT EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW WHO I WAS.

A seller can block any user by username for any reason by adding that username to the blocked buyer list.
Sellers can also preemptively block any user with two or more unpaid item cancellations in the last year by setting the Buyer Requirements. As long as a seller waits for four days and then cancels for nonpayment, the buyer account receives an unpaid item cancellation strike.
To avoid unpaid items, a seller can list an item for a fixed price with immediate payment required and avoid auctions and best offers entirely. That way the buyer must complete checkout and pay, or else the item remains listed.

Mentor3 years agoAlthough at one time it was possible to see the identity of your followers, eBay no longer provides that information. You can see the number of users that have added you to their saved seller lists, but not their identities.
