Why can I not see who is following me?

I used to be able to see that info on my profile page by clicking on the number as shown in the screen shot, but it is now disabled. Can anyone help, please? Thanks!

eBay has removed that feature, likely to preserve privacy of buyers.

Thanks. I fail to understand why though. If a buyer wants to stay private, they should not follow sellers. Meanwhile, this feature might benefit sellers. This practice also undermines the seller's rights to privacy. What if a seller doesn't want a particular buyer to follow him/her?

Following a seller just entails adding the seller to a list, but there are many other ways to keep track of a seller; since a seller's listings are public, anyone can view them without being signed in to an eBay account. There is no way to stop a particular user from viewing any seller's items.

Yes, you're right. Thank you. I don't agree with eBay's policy on this one...it seems buyers' interests outweigh sellers' when policy is established.
