We love #legocity #Lego #Legos 레고 лего "le go" in all languages!
As of next week, whatnot no longer will be offering the $1 extra for each additional item. A second funko will now be $2.50. Heavier items will cost a lot more. Just came out yesterday so your video is now outdated lol. Sucks as I loved the $1 for additional items.
Wow so it’s getting even worse if you sell heavy items! 😬
Yeah I was selling right after they or the post office Changed that one dollar for every second item. It seemed better than bundling on Poshmark. I
Where do you read up on this ?
I’m still seeing 1.50 and 50cent for each additional books
@@courtneyfidler2562 books are the exception as they are shipping media mail. So as long as they go media mail, they are still pretty inexpensive.
As a seller of comics on Whatnot, everything you said is extremely valid. I have no problem with the 10.9% fees, but the listing fees on top of that doesn't add up, and you are spot on with the shipping. I sell a customer 25 comics, they are paying $28 in shipping, when I could put all of those books into a flat rate box for $16.50. Consumers should be incentivized to buy more, instead it is quite the opposite.
Thanks for sharing your experience. As you know after I made this video they just made it worse by raising the shipping fees. I see some people saying whatnot is paying way over for some people shipping fees because they entered the weight wrong. I shouldn’t have to loose sells because my buys have to pay for other peoples mistakes. It’s a joke.
@@AFOLMAN Agreed. There are a lot of pros AND cons with the app right now. And my shopping calculation was much lower, as shipping prices have raised. 28 books would be $45 in shipping. $5 for the first book, and $1.50 for the next 27. That is insane.
@@JernosComicsPopCulture you can't return excess shipping to the buyers?
@@joannerauenzahn8126 Nope. We as sellers have no control over the shipping, other than choosing the weight. And Whatnot does not return excess shipping on the back end. They pocket it.
I just did my first Whatnot sale this month. I was surprised that the fees I figured would be around 13% actually turned out to be 25%!!!
This is really useful - thanks. The first time I’ve seen anyone be transparent about the costs of selling, instead of just being part of the incredibly heavy push to sign up! Thanks!
Thank you for addressing this because I was thinking about all these fees and shipping. Now they are raising the shipping and fees as of 6/1. I was just getting ready to start selling and this is definitely going to make me very careful about my selling strategy. I think it is good to have multiple avenues of income but you have to really understand the fine print!
Yeah, it's kind of nuts that on $1 sale you're going to pay 53c in fees for the buyer's first purchase on most items (like a trading card single).
That definitely affects the kind of auctions I run, and am not very open to starting anything at $1 without lots of active bidders.
You are awesome. I just want to say thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything that we need to know since no one else will take time out to do so. You really are helping so many people with this information.
Thanks for the kind words!
As a buyer, I loved it until I saw I was spending more on Shipping than the actual items. ( I buy clothes ) I spent $ 33.50 for a large priority box of clothes ) At first I was thinking that wasn't so bad because if the $ was going to the seller that ok. I was getting huge deals on the clothing so I thought it was fair. Then I learned the shipping goes to What not. What? I was done.
Yeah I understand what you are saying! I like a good deal as much as the next but taking advantage of someone who may not even realize how much they are loosing isn’t cool.
I wish that eBay fees were only 10%
I appreciate your break down, I seen another guy talking about the Whatnot app and he did mention that the fees were excessive & he made it out that you have to have alot of followers to get invited to sell, which to me is like having a party and inviting people over and saying "bring all your friends with you too". Thx for the video...
Yeah it is a popularity contest in a lot of ways. If someone else is doing an auction that is popular in the category your selling in they will have all the bidders and you’ll be giving your stuff away.
Thank you for the info! I will not be giving money to whatnot since the sellers don’t get the money they deserve back!
Thanks for this video. I have an onboarding interview in 2 days and now I may reconsider selling on Whatnot. Im a business and getting that extra shipping cost to pay for boxes, tape, packing, etc I need that extra income. It also helps me to be able to offer my items at a lower cost. As of right now META will dominate. META fees are flat 5% over $8 or a flat fee of $0.40 for $8 or under. any extra shipping fees you keep. Thats the way it should be done. Charging 3 different fees and keeping the extra shipping is called theft
This was very very helpful and insightful. I’m a Bricklink seller as well and I applied this morning to Whatnot. I’m going to have to rethink this. Thanks!
If you do sell on there i would try to do bundles so that you have less transaction fees.
@@AFOLMAN This is very informative. I have my onboarding meeting today with WN. Now I am rethinking.
Not to mention that we get the percentage fees of 11% is on the total sale! Item, tax and shipping! Sorry if you already mentioned this 😁
I kindly disagree with the fees compared to eBay. eBay kills you on the fees. I seem to make more money per transaction on whatnot than eBay. Just my 2 cents
Show your math. I just shipped a 17lb box of 22 items priority on eBay for $16...
2.9% also includes the shipping price. It's not just the sale price, its the sale price plus shipping price to make the total of the 2.9% so it's even higher then you think...
Try bundled items, great way save on some of the fees. WhatNot does eat the shipping when items weigh more than the buyer listed, and this happens much more frequently than an item being under weight.
Doubt it
Sounds like when all the sellers wake up and understand what’s going on what not wil be another here today gone tomorrow
I think for higher end items it’s probably a good site but for cheap items it’s crazy! I probably could of turned a blind eye to the fees if they gave me the extra shipping cost. I think for popular people it’s a winner because they can sell stuff at a inflated price.
O wow! Thanks for sharing this
GOOD ON YOU LAD - Having the guts to talk out. (The other people you see are advertisers and wannabee's who figuratively sell their souls for something as little as DLC)I love OPM Other Peoples Money - I love giving my money to companies, and waiting for external companies to verify, while I pay for everything upfront (items - packaging material - time) an effectively pay companies to work for them without an hourly rate. The new world is so much fun.
I think they could reduce their fees if they allowed people to 'load' their accounts with funds and bid from that money. All of those individual fees likely aren't going to whatnot, they're going to credit card processing. It's very familiar fee comparable to paypal, I believe they are (or were at one point at least) 2.9% + 30 cents.
The 30 cent/transaction fee is bullshit, but to be fair that 30 cents goes to PayPal as part of the transaction fees per individual transaction. It would be GREAT if Whatnot would stop being asleep, and COMBINE purchases together into a single charge (instead of 100 small ones that each would incur a 30 cent fee), which would only result in 1 single 30 cent transaction fee. No idea why they haven't done this yet.
I agree for other reasons. The place is a shill bidding joke. Returns for problem items is a nightmare.
Great point and an awesome video! I’ve been doing a few dollar start auctions on WhatNot and just noticed the same thing. I’ll have to be careful doing that now lol.
Does anyone remember the Economic term "Lose Leader"? I have noticed at least in the comic book auctions there are sellers who do not know the product of comic books and do a lot of teleprompt reading. I have suspicions that Whatnot has paid influencers to sell products at a loss in order to gain a following. I am riding the wave right now and waiting for them to eventually end their product loss.
Such crazy fees Idk if everyone hit up their seller support and express all this. I’m sure if everyone who utilize the platform to complain about maybe they would do something about it. I sure sent my feedback and concern. We are all small business owners trying to make a living or a side hustle out of it
I joined whatnot and did my second show after the shipping cost update selling legos… I did the math based on the percentages and actual profit and noticed there was a discrepancy between the fees they broke down and between the actual profit and fees… on my sales of 950 bucks I was at a lost of $13.12 cents…. If you ask me that’s a huge discrepancy on profit margins…. They said they will fix it but just think of all the money they made out of the expense of the sellers profit. (P.s. I have not done any auction since)
Yeah it’s not very easy as a seller to really keep track of the fees and profits. You just have to trust them and i don’t!
You are absolutely right bro am going to have to rethink this.
Wow. Sounds like quite the racket! A lesson learned
Yes they are ripping us off by Keeping all of the extra shipping , I sell on whatnot and eBay doing box breaks , eBay is way better to sell , unless you like losing money go whatnot . When the company is making more than you are for a transaction when you did all the work and paid for supplies to ship , there is something really wrong here . I’m fazing out of whatnot and bringing them over to my eBay
Yeah I’ve completely stopped selling on whatnot! It’s a joke! They take all of that extra money and pay influencers to promote it. It’s a joke
What not isn’t that bad. You can sell things pretty much instantly, print a label and drop it at the post office. eBay you have to wait a week or months before your item sells for the most part and compete with other listings. Both have benefits depending on what you’re selling. If you can sell something instantly and take a $1 different than eBay I think that’s the benefit
Thanks for the info we have been looking at applying to sell
I get what your saying 6:42 but if they invoiced someone instead of charging them every time there would be tons of unpaid items / invoices. Also the credit card co take the processing fees generally, 30 cent fee is common in that industry. I do agree with you that shipping was a problem, they made it better for sports cards but I’m unsure if they improved it for toy / funko / etc
I totally agree with you.. it’s kinda nice, cause I seem to sell a lot, but, it’s not fair.. it makes my stomach hurt a little bit..
I was on step 3 on signing up then i stopped and look for a whatnot review and im glad i found ur video! Im saved! 🙏🏼🙅🏻♀️😊 Thanks!
Yeah it’s not worth it unless you have a huge following that will get on there and bid stuff up for you.
I’m waiting to get approved and at that time I will be asking questions. I saw one of the tutorials on shipping and it show how to bundle and unbundle. I would think that at that time you box your items and put the correct weight and dimensions and then charge buyer for everything correctly. What your saying just doesn’t make sense.
Yeah, I am done with getting screwed with their insanely high shipping. I bought a $14 double LP and got charged $11 in shipping from FL to VA. That's my last purchase.
The shipping is robbery
Tiktok shop is the way forward. 5% commission, free shipping coupons, combine orders at no extra cost.
You also gotta understand whatnot bring you customers that you probably wouldn’t get if you sold in person or at an actual store the potential from whatnot is algo huge if you put in the work you could literally live off that
Whatnot only gets 8% and the shipping, It's PayPal that's charging the rest.
"Have you bought gas lately??" I literally LOL. Hahahahaha
Right! Lol
The .30 transaction fee is standard everywhere even eBay. 8% flat fee is not bad thats lower then subscriber fees on eBay and eBay still charges the .30 + transaction fee its just now baked into the overall final value fees. So something on eBay that is 9% like video games its really 11.7 ish percent and a .30 fee.
If Whatnot can figure out the shipping issues they will take over. I hope they realize the issue and fix it
My daughter got in trouble with whatnot because she didn't send out sold items in 2 days. I purchased an item from a popular youtuber and I have not seen it ship yet. I purchased on Saturday. Still not shipped on Tuesday. No more purchases from that seller. Yea and Poshmark makes money on the shipping. I lost $11.00 on a bundle deal on Poshmark for overweight package. People need to speak up. Good for you for the info
We were looking for honest reviews on whatnot, and came across your video as we were looking at doing some auctions for our local animal rescue group. Definitely not worth it. Thanks for your unbiased review.
BULK LOT YOUR ITEMS LIKE DO A SALE OF 4 MINI FIGS OR CARS THAT WAY CAN CHARGE MORE AND LESS FEES. EX. 1 MINI FIG= 4 BUCKS 4 MINI FIGS EQUAL 16 BUCKS BOTH ARE 1 TRANSACTION SO ONLY .30 CENTS PLUS OTHER FEES SHIPPING WOULD BE CALCULATED CORRECTLY AND ALL IS WELL.
WRONG! They dont combine everything for shipping. They treat each order as one order which is min 2.50 shipping on each item. A $1 items cost me $1 + 2.50 + Tax Cost me almost $4something!
The 30 cents + 2.9% goes to the credit card processing. It would be nice if they did one total purchase charge per person instead of each auction.
I've been looking into WN but everything I'm reading it does not sound good for the sellers. Watched a show the other day and lady was selling most items for $2.00 but these were items that would normally sell on Ebay for $10 - 12 and (like you said) with a little shipping padding for the seller.
Thanks for this information
these extra fees they keep goes to all the money they cover when items go missing or when they arrived damaged, whatnot pays for it out of their own pocket and you never even heard about it as a seller. Say you sold a 100$ box and it goes missing, whatnot refunds buyer out of their own pocket and you still keep the 100$ you sold for, id rather them do that than have to deal with refunding buyers out of my own pocket and then have to go file insurance claims with usps
What not needs to be more transparent about what Fees there are and what they are using them for. I actually had a friend who received some items that smelled like smoke really bad and What Not gave him a full refund and told him to keep the items, so I have seen what you are talking about first hand but you have to be kidding yourself if you think they will keep up that policy that Iv never seen in writing once they get bigger. With all the YT sponsorships Iv been seeing What Not doing with every big TH-camr id say they will be huge fast.
Do you think it's a very complicated fees structure? What would be ideal for you in your opinion that's a triple win solution for buyer, seller and whatnot?
Would you prefer Whatnot to hands off the entire logistic part just let the seller and buyer decide amongst themselves?
Its sad as theres these guys that r selling items at decent or good prices but the shipping ruins the deal. For example, if u get a pop that retails for $15 and u get it for $10, the total comes up back to regular price. And if the seller is selling it regular price, ur paying more than normal. Evn if u get the seller to give u a discount, the shipping will bring the price back up. Pathetic how ebay can actually do better
Whatnot sounds like an exclusive club that I don't want any part of as a buyer or seller.
I have applied, been buying for awhile now. I just had this rant about half hour ago with my partner. I am all for a few fees, I don't have to pay all the blah blah blah to run a brick and mortar business...yada yada....but SHEESH........it really is a blatant rip off. I had questioned in a chat the extra shipping and everyone was all "Oh, they handle it all not the seller" uh....hello, are you even paying attention?!?!?! lol
I'm from Australia, looking to buy a funko pop and they want to charge me as a buyer $72 for shopping and taxes. For me that's absurd knowing it's about $35 AUS from US to AU to ship and most taxes don't apply with these small perchances. Not almost $40 in tax at least. Just a huge turn off for people outside the US compared to an Ebay
I don’t want to squeeze a few dollars shipping charges as profit, but I do want save customers on shipping, especially for buck items, not an option on WN. Too bad.
Thanks for answering some questions that I had! 😊
I've decided to move back to eBay to sell my goods. Whatnot takes too much from each transaction and I sell comics.
100% Correct on what you are saying. Here is an example of E-Bay vs WhatNot. Say you sell 4 Star Trek TNG Carded Playmate figures to the same customer for $5 each plus shipping.
What Not
$20 for the items
$15 shipping ($6 first item + $3 per on others)
$0 tax just to make it easy
What Not just gives you a prepaid label, so 100% of shipping goes bye bye.
8% fee on item costs = $1.60
2.9% fee on item+shipping+tax = $1.02
$.30 per item ran = $1.20
Total fees is $3.82. You get a check from WhatNot for $16.18.
E-Bay
$20 for the items
$10 for combined shipping
Shipping label actually costs $8.50 after E-Bay discount Priority label.
12.9% E-Bay fee on total transaction = $3.87
$.30 for the entire transaction = $.30
You get $30 from E-Bay - $8.50 for shipping label - $4.17 in fees. You get a check for $17.33.
In both cases, you provide all the packing materials at whatever that cost is to you.
So with E-Bay, you just made more money for yourself (an extra $1.15). Your customer just got the same 4 items for $30 on E-Bay, vs $35 on WhatNot! Or if you charged your customer $15 for shipping on E-Bay so their cost was the same, you would pocket $21.68!!! $5.50 more than with WhatNot!!!
And even further, if you have an E-Bay store, you would have only paid 12% in fees vs 12.9%, and if you are Top Rated Seller with returns and 1 day handling, you can get an even further discount.
Most people overlook that WhatNot charges you that 2.9% on the over inflated shipping fees, yet you don't get to keep any of the extra shipping! You pay the fee for them to keep the money!
I don't think sellers on WhatNot are really paying attention to fees. Depending on what and how you sell, WhatNot could be costing you lots of extra money!
WhatNot is social selling. You are only successful on WhatNot when you can convince your "followers" to pay you more for something than what it is worth, just for the privilege of buying it from you!
I buy some GI Joe figures on WhatNot. DaToyMan is a big seller, and I routinely watch his customers pay $30 + shipping to him for a figure that is on E-Bay with a BIN of $25 + free shipping. They are paying him $9 more, just for the privilege of buying it from him! He will throw in some stickers, or a trading card, or sometimes a broke figure as a bonus to close that $10 gap, but he doesn't close it all the way. But his audience gets a sense that "he is taking care of them" for overpaying. So he makes more than he would on E-Bay, and his customers pay more than they should just to buy from him.
It's their choice, but if I have $100 to spend, I would rather get 4 figures I want off E-Bay, than 3 figures I want off him, plus some stickers and maybe an extra broken figure or two...
I got approved in 30 minutes after applying and 2 days later I canceled the zoom meeting. I think its stupid to go through all that like its a job or something. I rather list on ebay. Its just extra money. Its not a job.
Me personally I got into whatnot to find items to resell. I have spent thousands of dollars since I started. As is getting more popular it's harder to find deals for a reseller. With this shipping prices hike I can surely tell you. I am now done with Whatnot.
this platform eventually it will become a platform just for collectors trying to find certain items or fallower trying to support there TH-cam friends. nevertheless good luck
I buy coins, and the coins on whatnot are so much more expensive then anyware else. And the sellers will always say "oh man this is a steal @ this price. And it never is a steal. Bidder beware.
Yeah I noticed that for the stuff I buy too. I can jump on eBay and find it better as I’m watching the auction on whatnot.
It's nice that you're explaining all this I went on what not I don't know what's going on supposedly I logged in and I went to four different sellers every single one of them broke up their voice I couldn't make heads or tails out of what they were saying one of them the person's face and items didn't even show but anyways the bottom line is like everything else the sellers without sellers these sites have nothing they are closed down blackout but the sellers will continue and that's why whatnot will suck
I appreciate the video. Just started selling and haven’t shipped yet. I guess the fees will eat me up too.
Wow, that's crazy.
Hello,
My findings for last week on What Not vs Ebay:
Ebay Average Costs: 12.9% FEES, 12.1% Shipping Costs
Whatnot Average Costs 21% FEES, 3% Shipping Costs
TECHNICALLY WHATNOT IS BETTER IN SOME WAYs, BUT I DISLIKE THE GIVEAWAY PART WHERE WE EAT THE COSTS JUST TO DO BUSINESS.
I am going to do both essentially to double income.
Thx for the video. I’m planning on selling comics in the near future on whatnot. have my onboarding whatever it is in a few nights. Going to give this platform a try. But the way it is looking might be better off selling on ebay.
when $1 shipping was going on WhatNot made bank on the smaller items UNTIL you realize they lost their shirts on the heavier items. For them it was likely a wash, or small profit/loss.. and the 2.9% + .30 is Paypal's fees, not WhatNot, its the processing fee just like Visa, Mastercard and all charge.
Well I asked the lady from whatnot if I could bypass the 2.9% + .30 fee if I linked my bank account instead of PayPal and she said I’d still get it so I’m not sure about that. It would be nice if it ran like a real auction, you win stuff and when the auction is over you have one transaction for all the items you won. Iv had friends get their credit cards shut down because of so many transactions over and over during a whatnot auction.
@@AFOLMAN yea we all just need to keep requesting it, we see how many changes they've made in such a short time based on user comments. im interested to see their adjustment to shipping that they're working on.
I really have been trying to learn with shipping and the fees from the selling Ebay, what not ect. How you really can make any money, or is it you tube and the video's that make the most $$$
I bought 6 auctions from another seller and the total shipping it charged me was $61. For 8 really Light weight clothing pieces and a light bomber jacket. 5-6 lbs Max. So $11 shipping. I’m not happy!!
Yeah it’s only gotten worse since I made this video!
@@AFOLMAN It must be that the seller is over-estimating their weights!
Just don't take it out on the seller
they probably haven't realized it yet....and the ones who have like you already said it's not worth selling buck items
WOW NICE JOB ON YOUR WAREHOUSE LOOKS AWESOME AND WELL ORGANISED
Thanks for the heads up!!!
You said it brother
Thank you man I was going to sell on there but I’m going to try an come up with something different so I can avoid all those fees
ebay is about 13 percent fee
Nice vid for awareness! I just had my 1st auctions and sold about 20 $1 cards…did a Giveaway - which took right out of my earnings! Lol so for $28 in sales, I made maybe $12. It’s definitely not for small inexpensive items. I’m with you, love the app…but man, profits are tight right now anyway, so you have to be mindful.
Yeah the last auction I did I bundled stuff so i would have less fees but whatnot doesn’t give the sellers a break down of all the fee’s so it’s hard to keep track of how much you actually make. I think they are hoping most people won’t notice how little they bring home after waiting over a week sometimes to get the payout.
@@AFOLMAN Yup I commented above on this. Since the fee percentage now comes out of the total price with shipping, a $1 auction with $4 shipping means that you're losing 10.9% of $5 plus 30 cents - that's like 80 cents on $1 sale.
At that math on the hot wheels you'd be better off to sell them as a lot ? So you don't get .30cents a transaction
Im a seller on whatnot, i do sport card breaks and its an awesome platform but they need to balance it better
The sales for $1 don't make sense.
Man, I am in the negative with whatnot for doing a giveaway. I wish I saw this video before being offered to become a seller
Yeah I’m done with whatnot
Good video thanks for the info.
Thank you so much for your math! Something I don't always think about!
You shouldn't be trying to make money off people for shipping anyways. You should charge what the actual shipping costs are and that should be it. Don't try to scam people on shipping fees that's an awful way to do business.
forget the 1 dollar it's bundle time!!!!
Folks I was debating starting to sell on the app and this video and some research I think I'm gonna stick to ebay but instead of complaining do something about it and don't sell there, that's how you change things by walking away however despite all this talk the dude says he's still gonna sell on there so there you go it's your choice to get taken advantage of so what's the point of complaining if you will still support the thing you are complaining about? Stand by what you say and get off the platform and maybe they will see there's an issue when people start walking away and then they'll do something about it but as long as you all go along WHY should they change anything and forgo making money from all of you?
Man I WAS SO PISSED when i reviewed my orders from WhatNot last night. Here is what i discovered and DID NOT KNOW. I bought 23 items, they charge me shipping ON EACH ITEM they charged me TAX on each ITEM and they are shipping me 23 items, ONE AT A TIME. WTF? I will never buy from that place again. They could have shipped one box, one shipping charge and one tax rate. Dont buy from this place!!!!
the shipping thing sounds so much like ebidz back in 2002... it was just like that
Interesting, I never heard of that one.
I'd love to see you make an ebay video. They eat your lunch and the dessert if your having any😆. If sellers can still make a decent profit despite these shipping shenanigans I'm on the fence on this one.
No EBay doesn’t, not really. Fees are running about 15% on EBay and $.30 once per order. And usually I make a couple extra bucks on the shipping, which covers the box and packing materials.
On WhatNot they keep all the extra shipping and they charge you $.30 per lot in your package, not just $.30 for the entire order like EBay. Then you pay a 10.9% fee on the items, but not shipping.
It does somewhat depend on what you sell, if everything you sell is $100, then WhatNot might work in your favor. If what you sell is $5, it might work against you.
Thanx for this warning !
Makes sense now why lots of seller do "pick 2" or bundles. Its one way around the many transaction fees.
Nice video… It’s people who are oblivious who hurt themselves
overcharging for ship on usps is a federal charge, using music to make money with is illegal without paying rights, surprise boxes are gambling scam...
Ebay my change 10% but what would it cost you to reach all the people that purchase items on eBay. You don’t have to rent a brick and mortar store. What not sounds greedy. You need some meat on the bone.
So you're essentially upset you're not profiting in shipping, which you shouldn't anyway.
You also don't need to worry about missed weight, oversized surcharges, and if something happens in transit they seem to take responsibility.
Yeah that’s all I’m upset about! Lol
Shut up John.
Whatnot ONLY cares about making money, they don't care at all about their sellers making a living. And they know they can easily scam money in fees because there is really no other opinions.
Some of this is flawed. The 30 cent fee is for PayPal transaction fee. How is this not understood by people. They plainly say it's per transaction and that's the only way to do it if you think about it. How is whatnot or PayPal supposed to know you will be buying multiple items later? There isn't a shopping cart in live auctions. You win the auction you pay the cost and any other auctions you win are separate. If they let you build up a few wins to only do 1 transactions then how many of those would not go through and you just lost multiple sales. If you overdraw your bank account $100. Is 1 $100 transaction or 100 $1 transactions going to cost you the same fees? They are both 100 overdrawn but your going to pay for EACH transaction. Also the shipping cost, how exactly is this hurting you as a seller? They add the shipping cost and the buyer carry most of that burden. I'm totally not understanding the big deal here and I think most are the same is why your not seeing other people make videos like you said.
you should be able to opt out of PayPal if you don't use it.
@@donnylincoln5628 I think it's more of a debit card transaction fee or whatever. Like 30 cents per swipe. It's not bad really and if your the seller it's nothing to you. eBay now manage all their on payments and is so much worse. I sold a Pokemon card 2 days ago for about $840 plus $6 shipping. eBay took from the buyer the $840 plus the shipping plus tax was like $935 or something then after all that is added that's when they do their 12.9% cut. They make money off the tax and the shipping this way out of your pocket. I was pissed.
I'll stick with FB marketplace and mercari. This sounds way too complicated and expensive.
I hesitate buying on wn because, my first month I spent $76.00 on shipping. I bought 22 items, clothing. Ridiculous. I'm not doing it
Lets Beat the system!
You're a life saver man! I just applied to Whatnot and got approved today and after seeing the onboarding vids....I was a little skeptical with the fees. And I bought 4 shirts from an auction and spent $11 shipping. Ouch.
Are you still selling on there??
I stopped selling on there.
@@AFOLMAN I'm hesitant to get on there lol. Your video saved me headache lol
