What does it mean if your eBay account shows you have a "follower"?

[jasperandpossum]

I noticed  when I click my EBay ID that it indicates I have one follower and I wondered what does that mean?

ooohhh, I have 4 followers! They must only be new as they weren't there when I checked a few weeks ago.

Lynne, probably the easiest way to find them from here is, click under your name where it says view listings, then click on your name at the top of your listing page.

Aren't they called subscribers? That's what I have.

Thanks.  I've done that - still no success.  Shows my feedback, when I started etc...but no followers. 

I think there's something missing- obviously. 

Thanks to all who tried to help - at least I know I've got 2 followers, as someone else could see it.

It seems you now have THREE followers! If you go back to that page where I directed you, in small text underneath the stars, you should see followers

Thanks for persisiting.  Still didn't have the same details as you were showing me & then it dawned on me - I was in IE which is always useless.  Went to Firefox & problem solved.

Thanks for all the help everybody.
