When buyers find items they are interested in they often click the "watch this item" button.
This basically bookmarks the item so that buyers can check on it at a later time.
They are not necessarily bidders of any kind; a watcher simply will watch an item for many different reasons and none of them may to be for your benefit. Sometimes, however, a watcher will watch and then bid as the auction comes to the end. A watcher should not affect anything you do on eBay.
If the item is still in your watch list then yes, you are both a bidder and a watcher at the same time. if you bid and remove the item from your watch list then you are a bidder only and not a watcher.
watcher
Regardless of how you mean this word, it would be the same word for both watchers and watchmen. The following are only for male watchers: watcher as in television watcher = מבית (mabit) watcher as in guard = שומר (shomehr) watcher as in spectator or scout (also TV watchers) = צופה (tsofeh) watcher as in observer (scientific or otherwise) = משקיף (mashkif)
Watchers mean nothing at all so it doesn't matter how may you have. Sometimes you will have lots of watchers and your item will go unsold because not one of them will bid. Other times your item will sell for a good price and you will have had not even a single watcher.
that the items are not in your face on ebay
