Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Consumers genuinely appreciate the endless variety of unique items and entertaining live streams that make online shopping exceptionally fun and engaging for everyone involved. People also find the platform very easy to navigate, consistently highlighting wonderful prices, brilliant merchandise, and quick shipping on all of their orders.
However, some people mentioned receiving merchandise that contained undisclosed faults or dealing with products from certain unreliable sellers that did not meet expectations. Others experienced unexpected delivery charges, confusing shipping costs, or frustrating difficulties when trying to process returns for damaged items they purchased. A few users also noted that the auction pace can feel overwhelming at times.

Half the items I purchased were of no use, they came and only worked once. Do I wasted my money on specifically the drones and vr glasses and head phones. Waste of money, I wand not able to get back the money I spent with on some of them
Some shows are great but there are a few that use fowl language. This is not professional and is offensive in my opinion and so I choose not shop with them. There is no one experience date as I have encountered this a couple of times making the date of no value.

Absolutely great experience, and host kept it fun and his product line was one of the best so far .
And I won , one of his free gifts and received it within 3 days . Must admit was very impressed.
I was skeptical about using Whatnot because some of the auctions and sells seem very fast and hard to keep up with.i found a few slower paced sellers and got used to how the comments and bids work and I now love to shop on Whatnot!there is something for everyone and you’ll probably end up finding something you weren’t looking for but glad you found it!!
Been buying a ton with seller Secondipity. With the seller items being mostly damaged, had to process legit returns. Had to provide pictures. How the hell, I am now being stopped in returning items that are damaged due to too many returns? The policy is dumb...because priority should be if an item is damaged its returnable. They claim Im the scammer for returning too many items. How is the seller not being penalized? Im stuck with a $50 dented ugly item and now whatnot wont let me return it. How is that my fault? In process to dispute the charge with my cc. Both the seller and whatnot are nonforgiving pigs. They just lost money in loosing a customer. Dont shop here bc of the unknowns with your purchases and getting your money back. Best if you just shop at the store with legit return policys and customers are always right. Never again.
I love Whatnot, but I did have an order back on the first week of June. I the order was never shipped and when I requested a refund I only received refunds on 6 of the 17 items. I keep sending messages to whatnot and still haven't heard anything else about why I am not being refunded the other 11 items. The order was with little cidi. Would be nice to get my money back being that I spend thousands of dollars on here and it isn't my fault they decided not to send my items
I like the environment , some of the sellers are rude mostly you don’t get what you paid for
I like the environment , most of the people and the only thing that I have issues with are some of these guys prices. I don’t mean everyone. There’s shows that the people genuinely care about there buyers and recognize when the bid was way more than what they were sellings worth.. it’s those that are selling modern (not collectible) Pennie’s, nickels , dimes and quarters for $30 up to $200. They buyer doesn’t know until they start ripping and they’ve purchased 8 packages and end up paying over $1000 for maybe $2 in modern change. There packages should be at least comparable to what they’re selling tfe packages before. Those sites that I’ve experienced have no remorse and continue to do it.. Also it’s the ones (mostly the same sellers,) that get mad and start swearing and yelling at their buyers if they don’t feel like they’re getting enough. I understand that sometimes they don’t get what they paid for it or they say?? I’ve been buying coins for 40 years, so I know what you can get them for, especially when you buy bulk.. and I’ve had a few wins (only a few) that were way under, so I’ll promote the show, tip or share to help make up for it. And it’s not everyone that’s why it’s 4 stars. I didn’t beat you up to bad. I’ve learned now and I don’t go in those ones anymore but they’ve been expensive lessons.. but I’m still constantly see the rudeness of some of the sellers. So I say something to them when they start belittling their buyers. It’s happened on several different occasions so that date isn’t correct
Excellent platform for buy and seller and with great deal, you decide de budget you want to expend, also great product, for me one of the sell platform, also secure and excellent warranty.
Great way to recycle and repurpose. Fantastic way to purchase new gifts, update your wardrobe for less and grab a bargain
But be very careful, it’s very addictive 😜
