I found this app to be a fun place to buy coins. It does have some glitches once in a while but not often. Seems like banks don’t like transactions for each time you win a bid in a show. Wish it was set up to where it took the money out all at once at the end of the show. But I do see why they do that for each transaction. It’s so they make sure you have the money in there for each time you win so the seller isn’t left hanging trying to repost the item or wait on you to have all the money in the account. My bank limits me to 40 transactions a day so i have to switch to a different card once in a while. You need to be extremely cautious on what you bid and what the rules are for each show. Sit back and watch for a little bit before you swipe to bid. There’s usually Notes at the top that explain the auction. Money can go fast if you are not careful so don’t let emotions take over. I’ve ran into some sellers on here that are awesome and go above and beyond for customers and there are also sellers that sell absolute junk or deceptive and it’s not worth bidding on. Think of Whatnot as a bunch of booths and you are walking around to get a feel for what you like at first, you don’t have to bid on everything you see on there. Find a good group of sellers and buyers and stick to them. There are good people in the whatnot community you just have to find them.

Dishonest and manipulative- she doesn’t think we can see her when she ignores our comments. Hear her huddle with her friend. See her facial expressions. Obviously has had issues with other sellers because a troll in the group was calling her out. She had no reason to be rude to me. I bought on her last show. I agreed with the troll that she DOES show things like she is going to run them. Half she asks the family if they want after about to run. My agreement was supposedly bashing . She messaged me and repeatedly asked if I would like to cancel my order. Then when I got my order 2 of the times had number dots on them which I did purchase and I got a white shirt with no number dot that I didn’t purchase instead of a jacket that was the most expensive thing I bought. So they purposely switched it out. No apology when I sent the message, just told me to contact whatnot for a refund. Full intent was obvious. This seller is malicious for absolutely no reason at all. I’m sorry to her sweet friend who did apologize and said she was going to run the pants. But still never happened. Insanely…. They had much better more expensive items they were running. Knowing I wanted them they didn’t.

Let me start off by saying I love whatnot and have used it basically since launch. Purchasing things is easy and it’s easy to sell on. I prefer to sell things on Whatnot over other apps like EBay, Mercari. But what they do better is paying people. For example EBay you receive the funds as soon as it delivers or when you ship. And is an easy process that takes up to 20mins to get money delivered to your account. Mercari is a little more difficult with the waiting period for the customer to rate your items that could take up to 3 days but money is immediately available and sends to your account within mins. Whatnot on the other hand is a over complicated payout system that is not seller friendly. Not only do you have to wait for it to be delivered (which I will admit is fast) but you have to wait a minimum of 2 days to get the funds sent to Whatnot THEN you have to wait another hours-days to have the funds sent to you to use. So here an example. You sell something and you may not get the money for that item several days after delivery. It just takes away from the whole thing and bring the experience down a lot. I don’t get why it takes so long but for Whatnot to stand out from the other two top selling apps it needs to be more seller friendly.
