Quick answer
Use eBay Advanced Search and enter the seller's username in the "Seller" field. This shows all their current listings. Alternatively, type their username in the main search bar or click any seller name on a listing to visit their shop page. You can save sellers to your Follow list for easy access to their new items.
Viewing seller profiles
Every eBay seller has a profile page showing their feedback score, ratings, and a link to their shop or listing page. From the profile, you can browse all their current listings, see their selling history, and check reviews from other buyers.
On any listing page, the seller name is a clickable link that takes you to their shop or profile.
Once on a seller shop page, use search and filter tools to find specific items within their inventory.
Only sellers who pay for an eBay Shop subscription have a branded shop page. Others have a basic listing page.

Checking feedback
Before buying from a seller, check their feedback score and recent reviews. Look at the percentage of positive feedback, read recent comments, and check whether negative reviews mention issues relevant to your purchase (shipping speed, item condition, communication).
Saving favourite sellers
eBay lets you follow sellers so you are notified when they list new items. Visit the seller's page and click the Follow or Save button. Your followed sellers appear in your eBay account under Saved Sellers.
