Unsolicited advice: New Whatnot sellers.
Take the time to learn how the platform works.
Read how the things work… all of the things!
Watch a few shows ( actually watch a lot of shows) see how people run their auctions. It matters…
Buy some stuff before you know or think about becoming a seller. They are not the same thing.
Learn the fundamentals and tech you will need from your phone down to the computer you will use. Can you do it all from a phone. Maybe but it’s not recommended.
There are two sides here, the phone app and the actual website you can access via web browser but it works best on a PC or IPad.
Shipping: free tour guide, it’s available on their site and hundreds of videos on YouTube. Watch some before you tie your bank account to it. (You’ll be glad later)
Whatnot is a great platform but like any platform you need to know how it works before investing your time and money.
This community answers a lot of questions that help new sellers but I keep seeing the same questions over and over or posts about so many different things.
And all of them are easily found if you take the time to read their rules and help guides.
Just my two cents.
