how can I block someone who is following me on ebay?

[clubsport-r8]

Does anyone know how to block another user from following me or seeing what im selling on ebay? In my case an angry stalking ex.

You can only block them if you know their user name, but they can still see you, they just can't buy or contact

To make completely sure, only way is change your id

edit: now I'm unsure whether you take your followers with you.

Sorry, it seems that your id will change in their list of saved sellers, but they might not know it is you and delete it?  Hopefully?

Changing your ID is not much use as the change is flagged in ebay for 30 days....plenty of time for the stalker to find you.

The only way would be to start a new ID but you lose all your feedback and have to start again.

Lyndal, they can only see what the id used to be, not what is has become.

Yes but they can see the new ID in following and easily see which one was the old if they are stalking.

I thought you were an expert on stalking ?

OP, I suggest opening another eBay account, you just need a new email address for that account and can have multiple eBay accounts linked to the same PayPal account.

Keep one for selling and one for buying.

(You didn't sell your ex's mobile did you? That could explain the stalking)

But,  but,  some people don't know they can see what the old ID was.  

Don't know where to look.

If they try to find the old ID it will automatically show the new one....this lasts for a month so plenty of time for a stalker to find the new name.
