What are followers?
Followers are people who are interested in seeing what you're selling and want to see more. Your followers will be notified whenever you post new items. If someone who has purchased an item from you follows you, it’s a sign that they may want to buy from you again. Having lots of followers on your public profile is a great way to show potential buyers that people are interested in the items you post.
