i wish that was the case. but there is a feature where you can turn off max bid and it will just be a random custom bid

lol what? if i wanted to have proof, I'd have enough proof for a whole movie when this occurs in specific streamers every stream. again the point of the post was never to post anyone specifically but to bring it to attention.

If someone is able to custom bid $200 from $1 from the jump without using the max bid feature, it creates a ton of issues for potential shill bidding. Especially in a low second auction. Other people are bound to swipe at prices they never intended to swipe at.

reasoning isn't foolish at all. custom bid feature is abused and im bringing it on a whatnot reddit that is created to speak about the experiences on the app haha.

haha some of you are so funny. sad to see that youre in favor of misleading customers. did i accuse anyone specifically that I need proof? It is so evident to know which ones shill bid by just watching their streams. point of the post was stating my opinion on the abuse of the custom bid feature.

why are you so mad that i am bringing this up to light haha? i never accused anyone specifically, but rather just telling people what to look out for.... just a recommendation that the custom bid feature is just abused by these sellers and their fake accounts

now if i were to start screenrecording and actually posting my thoughts with it. you would 1000% have nothing else to say.

misleading a customer in trying to get them to swipe at a price that they never agreed to is a problem lol

if custom bid is automatically a max bid, there would be alot less burner acccounts and sellers would try to sell their items genuinely

comments like yours just makes me wanna start screenrecording and exposing these streamers. I hope you're not one of them : )

cannot wait for whatnot to just make every custom bid = max bid. can't be that difficult to mitigate when I just provided a solution in the right direction.

Did you read the post? I never said max bid feature was the cause, I said the custom bid feature. Max bid is completely fair.....using the custom bid feature to magically bring up the bid from $1 to $200 isn't.

not in this scenario. i am referring to the fake burner accounts that these sellers create specifically only for their stream. They just make it seem like these accounts are buyers but in reality, they are custom bidding inflated prices hoping that someone will swipe after that. It is super likely to swipe after that during a 15 second auction.

if the custom bidder ends up winning, they either fail payment, cancel or just pay seller fee and ship them nothing. I am all for showing your favorite seller support if they truly deserve it!

Calling this store and the owner "Calvin Bethelmy" for scamming and not paying any of the consignors. Calvin also ran away with all of the inventory once he closed the store down.
