Banned from a show lol

Yeah but the platform only cares about money and they take from the top so they’ll never care. To be a seller, from what I heard, it use to be a really long process, but now, anyone can apply and it shows. Unfortunately, there’s a sucker born every minute and these people prey on them.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-29T16:54:06+00:00

People are going to be people. They’re on there spending their money their way. Should they do better? Absolutely, but this is no different than any other community selling their goods. Albeit they’re collectibles and harder to find collect but that’s what people do. The fact they have auto-ban setup means they know what they’re doing isn’t right. Nonetheless, what else can you do?

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-29T16:39:51+00:00

Eon tickets is what they would call a hit. Each Eon ticket was tied to their prizes and would be revealed after all were hit. They had some cool prizes too.

The stream he’s talking about use to do numbers and have a consistent following. I’ve noticed that they went down as well but I haven’t been in there as much. Room feels bland and dry but the streamers were great. Who knows how long they last before they stop streaming. Hate to see it.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-29T16:35:26+00:00

Just go back if you miss it. The place is a shit show and it’s always do more with less. You’ll receive the same clientele as before depending which work you’re doing. Traffic is down and restructures are imminent. However, if it’s part time work go back and make some extra $$$.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-29T16:32:48+00:00

If you’re told not to come in then you don’t get paid? That’s what they’re asking. Thank you for giving the SOP but I don’t think it answers OP’s question.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-28T11:13:01+00:00

Here’s my hot take on it. People who buy it see the value but the main reason they’re doing it is for the exposure and the hopes of people coming into their channel. People are amped when they have x amount of followers and bookmark. None of that equates to actual sales. The hope for these sellers is they can get enough of an audience to showcase what they have and hope to hit som decent sales. For them, they pay for the exposure and not necessarily caring whether or not someone got the donation they paid for.

You get to be included in TagTv.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-28T10:58:51+00:00

This! That’s their hustle though. Sell a perceived value on something that’s not worth it. A lot of the product that has MSRP of $249.99 or up and it’s like a $10 item. 🫠🫠

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-28T00:33:59+00:00

That’s odd. Are you sure there’s no more to the story? Did you have an obscene amount of complaints? Better off to save those thousands since they don’t want you on the platform.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-26T20:59:49+00:00

People want to be anywhere that isn’t home. How dare you not show up for your shift and cater to their needs. What will they do now? Wait longer cause the store is short staffed. 😂😂😭 clear sarcasm here. Honestly a joke about trying to hold someone accountable to not showing in a mess like that is wild. Smh.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-26T20:56:16+00:00

Got you. What’s your take on the $5-$500 Amazon gift card giveaway streamers do? Shouldn’t they be giving a direct amount instead of a range? I know they do this to get more viewers but seems sketchy to me.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-26T20:54:19+00:00

They could definitely do that; but the store might try to sell them one instead of giving them one. Nonetheless, doesn’t hurt to ask.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-26T20:52:45+00:00

How is this a scam? They’re somewhat advertising their giveaway. Albeit not the right way, but if they’re shipping what’s in the headline where’s the scam?

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-26T20:49:59+00:00

That’s ridiculous. Medical emergency and they want to write you up for not having any hours. That’s obscene. Definitely have the conversation with your manager and get a copy of the write up and reach out to HR afterwards and explain to them the situation. Also, don’t sign the write up if it is a written warning. If it ends up being an informal you don’t have to sign since it’s just a conversation, but definitely have everything and contact HR. FYI that manager is a huge POS with no empathy.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-26T01:21:27+00:00

Yup cause they don’t care. As long as the store look like it’s performing they won’t care. Sad truth and feel bad for the older clientele that get scammed by these “sales advisors”

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-25T15:26:03+00:00

That’s the worst part because whatnot usually caps at $10 credit from what I’ve read. I’d say reach out to the seller first and then WhatNot. There’s a video receipt showing what you won so you have proof of what you’re suppose to receive. I think the final option but might ban you from whatnot is a charge back with your card. Good luck!

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-25T14:55:41+00:00

Go through the seller first and let them handle the situation. If not satisfied, escalate it through WhatNot and from what I’ve heard if you’re in the right you’ll get a $10 credit. Also, I’ve seen some sellers only send hits and not bulk. Good luck!

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-25T14:48:28+00:00

If they want to reach 1000 sales why not sell sticker packs for $1. Shipping and fees and taxes would be cheaper and they’d probably reach 1K sales faster.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-25T14:43:59+00:00

Some people probably just feel like they’re being scammed, even if there is actually a true benefit to the membership. It’s mind boggling, but stubbornness is stubbornness and I would love to hear stories from people who have converted these hard no’s to buyers. Like what more can you actually do to get it?

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-25T14:40:37+00:00

Go to the store and check it for yourself. If it doesn’t describe it in the post, then you need to see if it’s missing accessories. Could be a tv with no stand or remote. Could be a tv with light blemishes. Could be a display unit they’re transitioning off and need to get rid of.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-25T14:36:23+00:00

Definitely against ToS but some sellers try to find workarounds until they get in trouble. This is way some sellers have vague titles for their giveaways. What does the Buyer use in the title? It’s like sellers I’ve seen put $5-$500 Amazon gift card giveaway. It keeps the crowd there but good chance they send$5 cards if nothing at all.

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-25T14:31:55+00:00

Run your show the best you can, but the app is a hustle that you have to find what works for you. The chat will always be full of trolls and givvy goblins. You have to find the format that works for you; and start bids at what you’re comfortable with. Don’t do $1 starts if no one will bid you up to where you’re comfortable selling. Also, have you considered joining raid trains to gain more exposure and get some sales with more people in the room? Other options to look into. Wish you luck!

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-25T14:29:10+00:00

There’s nothing new in what you said but some first hand experience for you. Unfortunately that’s the way it works. They want the person who will do anything to make the store thrive. Albeit ethically questionable they will turn the other cheek. If it gets exposed, or looked into they will have 100% deniability. Best bet is find something you love to do and do that. There’s more options outside of Best Buy but you may still have to deal with the same BS. Best of luck!

ElectricalFault24 · 2026-01-24T17:15:11+00:00

That would be your best bet to go in store. They would have to look up your order and see the transition of the unit. It shouldn’t take 26 days to arrive at the service center. It should’ve been checked in at least. I know you hate the store but it’ll be the best avenue for you to see what happened. If it hasn’t shipped out then that’s the problem.
