It is one of eBay's most handy little tools. Exploit it :)

You can't watch other people like this (you *can* watch sellers like this,
but not bidders), and you can't watch bidders at all if they're from
certain countries. Watching bidders is done by manually using eBay's
"search by bidder" function every time you feel like watching what others
are doing.
The ways to avoid this are to (1) move to one of said certain countries
(like Germany), or (2) snipe, or at least refrain from bidding until the
final few hours the auction is open.
