Sorry,  that's not possible,  if it was,  you would be blocking potential buyers.

 

Peeps have to view your items before buying.

Aaah I see,  but unfortuantely nothing you can do to stop them ' watching'.

 

If they have a username ID you can block them from buying, and bocking any messages from them , that's as far as a block can take you.

Anyone can look at your items, they don't need to have an ebay account to do so.

You could try changing your username, but if they were determined they could still find it by searching for your old name.

 

The only sure way is to open a second account, keep the name to yourself and use it for selling. You only have a few feedbacks as a seller anyway, so it won't be like giving up a lifetime of hard earned feedback.

 

It's a good idea to use use different accounts for buying and selling anyway. This can prevent unfair retaliation against your own account if you ever have to leave negative feedback for a seller. This is allowed by eBay, provided there's no interaction between the accounts - for example, using them to shill bid, or to leave yourself feedback.

You haven't got any recent seller feedback so you wouldn't lose much by opening a brand new account and keeping the details private.

Nobody would know it was you as long as you chose an unconnected name.  Maybe better than just changing the name on this account.

Not relevant to your question (sorry) but did you know all of your items are listed as collection only?

Clothing is very hard to sell on the site and you are drastically reducing possible buyers by not offering postage.
