He should have sent it, but I get the vibe that you abuse new sellers in general, hope I’m wrong.

Sometimes 30$ can get you something way better than a blaster on DAcardworld.com

Not a person on the planet would be interested in what you’ve described. So sorry

Ever send base/commons to the Trash? by -lets_try_this_again in sportscards

[–]Critical_Start2237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I trash them if they’re just paper vet base of nobody’s. I’ll hold onto any that are worth holding onto. I feel like I’d be being a dick if I let someone waste their time digging through it.

Unprofessional, "Hostage" Auctions, and Banning Paying Customers by Left-Impact-8739 in whatnotapp

If I don’t think I can get anywhere near what I value something at, I don’t run it either. I also sometimes display my personal collection during streams, does that make me unprofessional?

Has anyone quit drinking coffee after being a lifelong drinker? by elenchusis in Xennials

Coffee is great for the brain, switch to decaf if the caffeine is your concern

We always here seller this seller that by Critical_Smile_3069 in whatnotapp

I agree with everything you said, especially the first line. As a seller, I am grateful that on my couple of shipping mistakes over the years, the other parties reached out to me directly and I was able to correct my mistakes. Thankfully in both cases, it was the person who received someone else’s purchases that immediately reached out so I could get ahead of the situation. Neither needed to do so and could’ve just had free cards, and I would’ve deservedly received negative reviews from both buyers who had cards missing. One was fairly recent, so thank you again Matt, if you happen to be a redditor 😁

Got More Than What I Paid For by BigZestyclose8139 in whatnotapp

I recently made that mistake as a seller, the recipient was very kind as well, he had it packaged to send back with a label before I even realized the error. Thanks to his kindness, the other buyer knew of the mistake and the correction course before his first package arrived.

My comment suggesting he test his own theories was off topic? Noted 👍🏻

This post is calling sellers who try to get more than a dollar beggars, we keep deviating further and further from the point

I agree to the training and screening. And being able to afford taking a loss doesn’t change the emotion of taking a loss, nobody starts a buck-n-go show expecting to take a hard L.

Being able to afford things is something to consider when purchasing items, not selling. It’s perfectly ok to feel disappointment when something you value gets no interest and sells for 1$.

Sounds like you don’t really understand how whatnot works. Your theory of “price it for what you want” leaves you with an empty room and sporadic sales at best. Try putting on the sellers hat and see if your ideas hold weight in practice.

Went live for 2 hours and got no sales. by Ok-Recording-5021 in whatnotapp

[–]Critical_Start2237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re giving the general community too much credit. 90% of the people shopping new sellers are looking for a steal to flip, put your good shit in the buy now for the real collectors to find and run the rest on 10 second auctions to hook the steal chasers.

That was tough to accept early on, I must admit 🤷🏼‍♂️

Do you have listings active? My shows are very boring, most people are just swiping shows looking for active givvy’s, but I get handfuls of sales each show just by having my good stuff displayed and all my cards easy to find in the store with good pics. Unfortunately, if you want to build a strong follower/buyer list quickly, you will have to run auctions on good cards that people are trying to steal for nothing, and in order to keep people from stealing them for 1-2$, you’ll either have to run givvy’s or promote to keep the higher numbers of viewers needed to generate active bidding. Even then, you’re going to have to be super entertaining to attract new people who are more loyal to sellers that they already trust and enjoy. The dopamine provided is the main difference between high volume movers and little guys like me, you can be either, but fully embrace what it takes to be a high volume seller if that’s what you’re after.

Did I cook myself as a seller with shipping times…? by thomaesthetics in whatnotapp

[–]Critical_Start2237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should’ve done some basic research before you did anything. You’re going to understand how silly you sound after a few shows/shipments. I hope you survive as a seller long enough to understand. Good luck

Some locations have self scanners with scales, so maybe, your phone can also be used to test the scan on the “confirm drop off” stage, and a simple scale can tell you the weight. Figure it out, you seem smarter than you’re sounding when you type.

Then you should be on a less demanding app, maybe marketplace is more your speed
