What does it mean watcher on eBay?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The "watch" feature on eBay is essentially a person bookmarking a specific item, to keep an eye on it, to possibly bid or buy at a later time.

Answer 3

There is something called a "watch list," where potential buyers can keep an eye on a listing before deciding to bid.
