Review

Not friendly to international customers. High shipping rates. Giveaways are offered free for U.S.A. users. giveaways for international users, are not free, and sellers are not willing to spend the high shipping rates for international giveaways, so you are able to enter. Same thing applies to buyers giveaways. Not accessible for international users.

Scammer central

***Warning to international buyers*** Whatnot does not protect buyers from scam sellers.

Whatnot will not support your enquiries and instead give you an irrelevant automated response on tiered prices for shipping when sellers add random shipping amounts post purchase. For sellers to be allowed to charge $32USD per trading card (despite clearly stating free shipping on screen and confirming in stream) ridiculous. Bundling all purchases after paying hundreds in postage is a joke. To send one base card with permanent marker stating they sent the cards in a different package is also pathetic. To charge for $200 USD insurance on a worthless package with a false itemised customs declaration is illegal. For Whatnot to say that doesn’t qualify for buyer protection when there is no other package sent is a scam.

Exceptionally poor customer care

Bought numerous items from various sellers. Around 40% of items are unsaleable or not as described, heavily stained, ripped, damaged, didn’t show up etc.

Raised complaints 4 weeks ago and despite having chased up regularly and having to raise individual complaints on each item from an order (despite items not being itemised or named so just receiving a jumbled box of indistinguishable items), have received refunds on less than 50% of items.

Very frustrating and I would be cautious about using unless you are happy to accept being sold useless garbage with no easy way of having it refunded.

Great app

Used to only be good for us citizens but as of recent there’s uk sellers I collect funko pops so I can’t tell you how the trading card scene is but the funko side is great kind genuine sellers who care about not only their businesses but also the customers they’re always happy to help if I have any questions more than not open to negotiations fast delivery times easy to navigate and just a whole bunch of positive energy the only complain I would have is my phone sometimes bugs out whilst watching a stream and I’d have to close the app and re-open it but other than that it’s amazing and would totally recommend.

Whatnot does not protect buyers

I purchased a bag and it arrived with a completely broken closure. This was not disclosed by the seller and WN determined it was not eligible for a refund. I’m out my money because of their shady practices and a seller not being honest.
