I enjoy purchasing on whatnot. I looked at shopping on tiktiok and I did not like their platform for several reasons, first being clutter and confusion, and second, the atmosphere is not like sellers... See more

Fun bidding experience
Its fun. Shopping on a budget. Items gets shipped quick. Im able to find vintage stuff. Also great for TCG and Sports card collectors.
I so enjoy what not auctions
I so enjoy what not auctions. Joseph the jeweler has very nice jewelry and the auction process is seamless. What not communication is on point. I love what not above all others.
Whatnot - where you find things you never knew you wanted
Whatnot has been a joy in many ways. The everlasting entertainment that the auctions provide, to the opportunity to purchase something you never thought you’d ever find.
I look forward to having my first auction, after we move.
When you have so many things you can’t count them, well it’s time to make some money AND have a blast doing it.
Innovative and fun app!
I’ve bought several items on Whatnot at excellent prices. I love that the auctions are quick, and easy to participate. I love that there’s an endless variety of product categories, and sellers to choose from. The chat and giveaways also make it fun to participate. Great app!
Really good shopping app

The sneakers I bought did not match the US shoe size chart.
I bought a 9.5M, which should be a 43 Euro size, but it turns out to be a 41 Euro size. I am so disappointed and skeptical about trusting what the sellers put out because of their no-return/ no swap policy

Won an ultra rare pokemon card which got opened live on stream, seller cancelled saying that he "lost" it, then tried selking exact same card on a seperate stream. Seller admitted liability, admitted the true cost of the card and yet whatnot still did not reimburse for the contents of the pack, of which they initially said they would.
They are fraudulant and do not protect the buyers in the slightest. If you are thinking of obtaining an item from Whatnot, please make sure it has no value attached as it may go missing and you wont get anything back in return.
I do have evidence of everything, including whatnots initial response clarifying that I will be either reimbursed the market value of the card, or, the actual card itself.
After seeking legal action it has been confirmed that Whatnot are in breach of the their "contract" as the legal team put it, purely due to the fact that I have it in writing what I am to be compensated with as a minimum.

Some great sellers on what not
Some great sellers on what not, I love you can see the items your not relying on photos ,ive always loved everything ive received its overall a great selling platform
Too much hassle
I gave Whatnot a fair try, ordering seven items from six different sellers, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be using the platform again.
The experience has been incredibly inconsistent. One seller was fantastic, but the rest ranged from mediocre to genuinely problematic.
I received a skincare product where the expiry/batch information on the bottom of the bottle appeared to have been rubbed away, meaning I couldn’t verify whether the product was in date. Whatnot did refund me immediately when I reported this, which I absolutely give them credit for.
However, I also have an earlier order from the same seller that was marked as shipped, yet Royal Mail still says they’re waiting to receive it. I messaged the seller three days ago and have had no response. A completely separate seller’s order is also showing the same Royal Mail status.
Another purchase was a candle advertised as highly scented which had virtually no scent at all.
Whatnot itself seems to have decent buyer protection when something goes wrong, and I’ve had one excellent seller, so I don’t think the entire platform or every seller is bad. The problem for me is the amount of uncertainty and effort involved. I’ve found myself checking tracking, chasing sellers, inspecting cosmetics, photographing products and raising issues with support.
The bargains simply aren’t worth that level of hassle to me. Out of seven purchases across six sellers, there haven’t been enough good experiences for me to want to continue using the platform.

Ease of use.
PATHETIC WEBSITE
PATHETIC WEBSITE ! untrained staff banned MY account for purchases I PAID FOR using MY CARD!!
I loved the packages I’ve received…
I loved the packages I’ve received except for one that I received with different candy in there and one of the bags were open in the box and what they sent me isn’t what they were advertising. I tried to leave a message with them and I haven’t gotten a response and I believe I left a message with you guys and I was told that it’s been over the limit for a refund. I just received the package on September 30 other than that. The other packages were great.
