See Who's Following You

If you've set your profile privacy settings to Public, you can see a list of followers who are not already your friends. To find this list, go to your profile and click Friends below your cover photo and then click More > Followers. If you don't have any followers, you won't see this option. You won't see which of your Facebook friends follow you.

Note: If you let people who aren't your friends follow you, people who send friend requests that you ignore or delete will automatically start following you. If you don't want someone to follow you, you can block them at any time.

Following on Marketplace

Keep in mind that anyone on Marketplace can follow you if you allow following on Marketplace.
