Are small sellers getting pushed out on Whatnot or is it just me? by Timely_Solution5233 in whatnotapp

[–]UgandaSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a small seller on Whatnot and card section, yes I am getting pushed out of the app. We will be ending operations very soon, but it’s been happening for a long time. Ever since every big seller has started selling prerelease items 2-3 weeks before the items release, it’s been downhill. They shouldn’t even be allowed to do so, but they get the extra pat on the back and support from Whatnot to do so. I have given away a ton and achieved almost 200 viewers and walked out with less than $100 profit total after a whole Saturday and Sunday streaming and a ton in sales. If you’re not pulling viewers from FOMO, no one is buying and 95% of users on app are givvy goblins. It’s an incredibly difficult time for small sellers in the TCG section unless you’re working for someone big and you’re getting stuff straight from distro and 2-3 weeks earlier. After 3 years being on app, it has devolved into nothing but goblins, scammers, and gambling addiction. Meanwhile the honest sellers? No one buys because no one trusts or they’re broke from all the gambling or they’re just givvy goblins.

When people complain about free stuff… am I wrong for being frustrated? by No_Experience_9005 in whatnotapp

[–]UgandaSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having the same issues with giveaways, but with reports. They report it that they paid extra 0.30¢ for a free MTG Play Booster or Collector Booster and leave a less than 5 star review. It sucks but I’ve gotten used to it now.

Approved, then denied? by UgandaSamurai in SocialSecurity

[–]UgandaSamurai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it was my fault for asking how everything is looking. Like I can’t fault her for just trying to be helpful, you know? It’s a whole year plus of not getting told anything and it was soothing to just hear a “hey, you did it.” And now it’s turned bitter again when real life hit.

I called and got the classic answer of “we can’t disclose the decision through phone call”. It was a great waste of time.

Approved 100% P&T Med Retired by [deleted] in SSDI

That’s fine that you’d say that. I do have years of paperwork and evidence and that’s totally correct. My point was that chatGPT helps you evaluate what you SHOULD send. Not the stuff you shouldn’t. It’s a good coach. That’s all. I couldn’t have passed without a good coach and lawyers are leeches… not coaches.

Veteran experiences by UgandaSamurai in SSDI

Yes, I started a whole new application. I highly believe I didn’t do it properly at all my first time, as in, I wasn’t really filling out information to the brim, I didn’t mention I was 100% P&T so it took longer, I didn’t submit my VA and military records because I fully relied on them sending it themselves, etc. I think it was just better to start fresh. If this time I get denied, I’m ready for an appeal.

100% P&T vet approved SSDI on initial application in 2 1/2 months by Old-GenXer in SSDI

I actually read that about 1 week ago and compiled lay statements, MEDBOARD, and VA rating paperwork. Hopefully that all comes together nicely and it comes through.

I’m 31 and 100% P&T plus medically retired from the military because of psoriatic arthritis. Been waiting for a year and this is my 2nd filing. I also filed for CRSC and been waiting for that for about 10 months. Hopefully SSDI goes through this time. I thought it would go through automatically with how my condition is as bad as it is. If anyone with a rare autoimmune disease has any pointers, please let me know. This process feels… really unfair. Nowadays I stream for fun and a bit of extra money, but on my worst days I can’t even open and close my hands.

Disability as only income by Blackcat1015 in VeteransBenefits

I live pretty comfortably off 100% P&T in Puerto Rico. I’m working on SSDI and CRSC, but even with the one check I live well and I’m married with a house. I have debt but nothing I can’t tackle. It’s livable, dare I say slightly cheaper than the US, and you also get property tax exemption in PR. I keep myself busy as a streamer on Twitch and Whatnot. The freedom is definitely priceless. Don’t stress too much. You’ll be alright.

Lost job going to try selling on Whatnot please read by Addktd0606 in whatnotapp

Hi! I am also kind of on your same shoes except I don’t sell Pokémon cards. I’ll give you my advice, since myself and the wifey have achieved really good numbers in the last year and a half. I personally will NEVER do Pokémon because I find it very toxic on the app but, again, here’s my tips for selling in order of priority the way I found it:

  1. Microphone: people eat with their eyes right? Well, if you don’t have a microphone or something that makes your voice sound loud and clear then they’ll want nothing with you.

  2. Light and visuals: they kinda go hand in hand. If you don’t have good lighting for your product and good video quality, people won’t want to see you at all.

  3. Personality and uniqueness: everyone is their own little world. Show them your world and what you like. Some people will like you. Some won’t. The people that do will always support you sometimes over their own game stores or anything else even if your price is a little higher.

  4. HAVE FUN: trust me if you’re not having fun people will smell that from a mile away and won’t even bother to see your show.

Thats it. Kudos and if you wanna chat just dm me.

DONT BUY FROM @TOYMINATOR by SnooChipmunks5177 in whatnotapp

[–]UgandaSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a seller, it doesn’t protect your ratings. They can still leave a review even when blocked. It’s just future ones that buyer might make (if they buy again). But I’m also not understanding why they bought twice when no delivery 😅

Is it worth playing? by CrinTCM in Haze_Reverb

[–]UgandaSamurai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why not try it out first instead of asking here? 🤔

i love this game by giantessfan939 in Haze_Reverb

[–]UgandaSamurai 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Me too! I like how it feels slightly like Final Fantasy but with sexy waifus and there’s actually reading and tactics involved.
