You cannot delete followers, any more than you can prevent them from viewing your listings (although if you know who you want to block from bidding or buying, you have your Blocked Buyer List for that purpose).

If you don't want people to see what you're selling, you could open a second account (or start selling from your buying account, if you have two), and keep that selling ID a secret from friends and relatives.

Ok...I will ask...Why???

HI!

    Just wondering why do you not want followers?  Some sites suggest that you get more followers. They just want to see if you have any new lovely items you are selling & might buy 1 or more of them.

I have a store on Main street.

How do I prevent customers from coming  in to see what I am selling?   😉

first i want to thank you all for the answers.

the reason with deleting followers are that some sellers sell the same items like you and its a monopoly game for them , so they place you as a "target" by reporting to eBay every time you upload the same products and maybe sell little cheaper then them, its just easy, some sellers are just like that , without following you its going to make it hard for them to track. 

eBay on the other hand , doesn't check really the reported item they just disqualify it right on the spot.

it happened to me twice that i had to call eBay and waste time to take off a restriction that they did without any checking.

A while back (10yrs or so) you could see how many followers you had and their IDs in your profile page. There was also an option to delete the followers. However,  ebay did away with all that some time ago so now all you see the number of followers. I'm guessing it had something to do with buyer privacy.

Okay, but if they are targeting the things you're selling rather than you personally, then all they need to do is set up a stored search for the item(s) listed; it doesn't matter who's selling it. 

If you think they're looking for you personally, then you'll want to set up an alternate ID for selling, but if it's what you're selling that's the problem here, then deleting followers isn't going to affect that at all.

What are the items they are giving you grief about? Are you using stock photos or a manufacturer's website description?

[s_gallucci]

hey 

I'm using my own images and my own description.

very detail description , and showing all features of the product including the UPC codes

@ebooksdiva 

I suppose we can now consider them "stalkers"?  LOL

[itscalledapostingid]

Ebay doesn't remove an item due to a report from one user.

Did you receive a VERO notice or some other warnings?

What was the reason given for your restriction?

I can tell you this: don't keep re-listing items that were removed.
