How to block a user/delete a follower

[mjc_1970]

I have someone who is following me on ebay and I don't want him to be able to see what I am selling and would like to block him but there doesn't appear to be a way of doing this. Surely this is against data privacy laws or something? 

Is there any way to block a user from seeing what you have bought/sold (in your feedback) and remove them as a follower? I have searched and searched and can't find any answer and no way to contact ebay unless it's about a specific purchase/sale/item.

No one can see what you have bought in your feedback profile,  that information is only available to you.  There is a long way round to do this,  but it is not obvious and not many will know it.

You cannot block a follower,  and you cannot block anyone from viewing your items for sale,  but you can block them buying from you and messaging you.

For this go to your Account tab >>  Site Preferences >>  Buyer Requirements >>  Block Buyers who.    Then scroll down to bottom of that page,  there is a little box to tick to stop unwanted messages from that user.

Unfortunately you can't delete a follower or stop them from seeing your items.

You can add them to your blocked bidde rlist to stop them bidding on your items and you can tick the box to stop blocked bidders from contacting you but that's as far as it goes.

It's a bit creepy when you get random followers but I don't think they think much about it, it doesn' really mean anything.
