How can I view my followers on eBay?

How can I see who's following me on eBay?

You can't. That part of the feature was done away with some time ago. It's been suggested that it was a privacy issue; however, I can't personally verify whether that was the reason.

eBay no longer allows sellers to see the usernames of those following them.

Unfortunately, you no longer can. 

It is speculated Sellers were spamming their followers and it prompted the change.

Hi @*temu* 

Unfortunately THAT is just another one of those things eBay has taken away from Sellers and I suspect it has something to do with them being afraid that Sellers will take business OFF the site by contacting their Followers directly ... how stupid, huh?!?

The sad part is this ... FOLLOWERS are the Seller's NOT eBay's ... eBay had NOTHING TO DO WITH BUYERS DECIDING TO FOLLOW A SELLER.   To me there is some very warped thinking behind their decision.  I have asked eBay for the ability to see our Followers to be returned to us Sellers but thus far eBay has ignored the request ... I am not happy about it and nobody else should be either.

to avoid bothering ebay buyers removed this feature long time ago !!

I am being followed by 294 people and I have no idea who they are - it's just this mob that goes everywhere I go in the eBayverse.  They will not tell me who they are, they just follow silently.  At least I don't have to feed them.

Anyone here willing to share their numbers?  I have just under 300 listings and 150 followers.

Thanks your reply really helpful Kindly marked this one as answer.

I would be more concerned about people buying my items than whos following me.  Most of them are just internet trolls with nothing better to do.  Be concerned about the money that's going into your bank account and making your site a continued successful one.

Thanks! You have to mark my reply as the solution, though. You should be able to see a button just to the left of the "Reply" button that says "Accept as Solution." Click on that button in my reply.

@ckimodog   I think this might be way off base for many Sellers.  Buyers Follow Sellers because they want or need what they sell and the Saved Seller feature gives them quick access to their preferred Sellers.   Before eBay stole our access to OUR Followers I know quite a few of mine were repeat customers.  Trolls won't satisfy their warped and abusive sense of humor (or lack of LOL) unless they are engaged with people online, like this forum opposed to passively following a Seller ...

And one of the main points to the Follower issue is this ... SELLERs attract them NOT eBay so for eBay to take away our ability to see who is Following us is just down right wrong.

@bhukhan91   I see you just created this ID today so I need to inform you that unfortunately, since you are NOT the OP of this thread you can not pick any reply as the Solution ...

I understand it's a concern of yours and I totally respect that...we are all here giving our advice to people and who ever follows me isn't that important.  I use social media and tweet my items.  Got a sale the other day from it as well.  What's beneficiary to one may not be to others.  Many posts of the same here as well.  We are all here just giving different views.  In any event, thanks for you input and thoughts. Happy Sales and Holidays.

Exactly @ckimodog  ... everyone here has an opinion and can voice them in the spirit of "discussion".  Not everyone "gets that".  I agree with some members 100% on some threads and topics and don't agree on other threads but again, THAT is the nature of "discussion".
