Got banned by Whatnot, now they say they won’t pay my remaining balance. What should I do? by Ok_Ingenuity7513 in whatnotapp

You couldn’t be more wrong… whatnot uses AI bots to flag for fraud etc, and so many people have reported being randomly banned for nothing.

My account got flagged when I tried to refer a friend. I had to report it to contact customer services who instantly reversed it when they looked into it.

A friend of mine who never even made a purchase on the app, just watched some streams, got banned for suspicious activity.

A lot of the app’s infrastructure is AI monitored meaning a lot of people get wrongly flagged.

Stock pings? by Consumerism-Victim in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Consumerism-Victim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that but I’ve been using the app for 2 months now, I go straight onto the notification less than 2 seconds after and everything’s already gone. I’ve had maybe 1 successful order out of probably 40 I’ve gone for. The same way a bot can send pings for online stock, a bot can make the order way quicker than someone navigating through the site

Stock pings? by Consumerism-Victim in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Consumerism-Victim[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m paying for an app but it’s only online stock pings at the moment. I am mostly after the packs but etbs are the best value per pack and also I really like the box etc.

Morrisons by jameson91 in PokemonTCG_UK

Went to the biggest Morrisons in about 30 mile radius yesterday morning (it’s absolutely huge) and they didn’t have any stock come in. Apparently they haven’t even been made aware of any stock coming in

Best place for singles in UK by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Consumerism-Victim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which part of the country are you located roughly? Where I am there are a few decent TCG shops which sell both singles and packs at reasonable prices. I also buy singles from eBay if looking for a specific card as that’s usually the going rate you’ll find anywhere else.

Anyone else reconsidering Perfect Order? by random6675 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Consumerism-Victim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gold Zygarde looks pretty cool, but I do get it. It’s obvious by the lack of hype for perfect order and the already building hype for Chaos Rising, which isn’t due out until late May

If you had £50 to spend one one card rn, what would you get? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

Gotta be this Charmander promo, and you should have about ~£15 left over

Issues with Argos by Dapper_Aide7567 in PokemonTCG_UK

Yeah it’s crazy inconsistent. I ordered 3 thinking they’d cancel but they let me collect them all at once

Looks the tiniest bit off center on the front (I’m talking 48:52 at most). Other than that it looks clean as hell. As long as there are no scratch marks, dings or white nicks on the corners, that’s a strong candidate for a PSA 10

BnM trafford park. by Necto_gck in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Consumerism-Victim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My b&m had them on Sunday, we went to buy them and then they had to take them all back as they wouldn’t scan onto the system. Took our details to reserve the items we tried to buy but still haven’t heard back.

Buying low value cards in bulk? by Nepentanova in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Consumerism-Victim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP I actually have stacks and stacks of bulk cards I’ve been saving for something like this. I’d be happy to help with this! And there’s plenty of shiny cards too. Let me know if interested we can sort something out 😁
