Can i stop people looking at what i'm selling?

Is there any way i can block certain people from seeing what i'm selling on ebay?

Short of setting up a new account i'm unsure what to do - don't really want to do that as i'd loose all my feedback, and i've worked too damn hard to throw it away.

Any ideas?

I think you can change your name without losing your feedback, do you want people to not be able to search on your existing name ?

You can block folks from bidding on your items if you want but I think they can still see your stuff. If you change your name I think it is flagged but not sure if that means people can find you from your old name.

it's not even someone that's bidding on anything - they are just looking at what i'm selling and making nasty comments on how much thingsa re going for ect.

How are they making comments?

Are they past customers, or are they asking ebay questions? If the latter, perhaps you could just set your settings to not automatically show people's questions and your answers.

No, they are family members who found out my ebay username.

when you do your listing you can block certain people if you know their ebay nickname,not sure if thats possible after you have done the listing - thats sounds horrible though-nosey sods

What charmers. Change your username if you can, I think there is a way to stop losing your feedback as someone said.
You can't block people seeing it as if they aren't logged in under their name ebay wouldn't knwo it was them anyway.

here I did it after I got married but that was ages ago so I forgot how! It keeps your account though, so don't do it until everything you are selling now has gone, or end the sales and start again with new pics etc so they won't spot your new name instantly.
