eBay

I am not sure if anything can be done about someone that is following me. Is there any way that I can opt to stop someone from following me.? This individual does not purchase or bid on any of my items. Every time that I sell something, this individual turns around and lists and sells the same thing. I feel that this individual is stalking me and I do not like this. Can we block someone from seeing what we are selling or block them from seeing anything that I do?

Yes,

They list the same items that I do when they can. They order them and list them as auction while waiting to get the items. Then when they get the items, they add more pictures. They have the stock pictures when they initially list the items and are waiting to get them, and when they get the items, they add more pictures of the actual item to the stock pictures.

What a minute, are you saying they are actually buying your items to flip? Otherwise, how do you know what they are doing?

@angelica1968 it seems to me if you know what they're posting that is a mutual fascination not stalking

If they are buying for re-sale, a lot of sellers do that here...

No. They just all of a sudden began following me and then began selling everything that I was selling that they could get. I know I do not own ebay and cannot stop people from selling the same thing as me. A lot of people sell the same things that I sell. But, they are not following me to see what I sell and then list the exact same items. It just kind of creeps me out. I have never thought to follow someone just to see what they are selling to sell the same things. I follow people that sell what I like and that I have purchased from multiple times.

It would be tempting to start listing the strangest things you can find, even if you KNOW they won't sell, and see what this person comes up with.

Maybe I don't know what the OP is talking about. I see I have some followers, but I've never pulled them up to see if they sell. I personally have a few local sellers on my own saved seller list. Is that the same thing? Does putting a seller on a saved seller list show up as being followed by me on their end? Do my local sellers know I'm watching them?

Maybe I need to stop doing that, because I do look at what they sell, and when I see them sell something for good money that I had never looked for before or paid any attention to, it makes me also look for that item. I hope they don't know I'm watching them, because now I think I may be a copycat stalker and didn't know it. I've learned a lot about selling by looking at other people's listings over the years.

...............general reply...............

I would think that you might be flattered instead,you must have a good idea what you are doing if someone is trying your style and products,they must think that you are worth trying to copy and emulate,nothing wrong with someone trying to pick up tips on whats hot and whats not.Lots of people do sell the same things as I am sure you have noticed

First, if you're looking at what they're listing, you're stalking them back, second, coins aren't all that special or rare, so maybe he just takes his cues from what others are selling in the hopes he'll make a sale as well.
