I did my 1st whatnot show Sunday and I went a little over 2 hours. 🎉🎉 I learned a lot going through the motions. Just learning to conversate with chat and not see or hear people was awkward at first but it got easier. As far as sales I was doing random pulls and had no inventory added ahead of time and that caused me a lot of stress and I definitely need/want a large monitor to read the chat. I totally bombed as far as selling (I sold 3 things for $11 total to one very sweet helpful person) but I'm going to call it a win because I showed up and went through the motions and learned a lot! 😂😅 I can't wait to do it again!!!
Cary you did a very good presentation. And furthermore i am very impressed with your speech pattern. At no point do you say "um" "like" "you know" "right" ... etc. That is a rare quality and makes you easy to listen to.
Very good, concise explanation. I applied to sell this week, waiting for approval. I liquidated my 5000 sq ft thrift store a few years back by holding daily online auctions. I currently have storage units full of all vintage inventory. Surely they will want me. 😆
@@collinbyers8904 you can contact them and clarify your inventory, etc. I took one photo of a shelf and told them I couldn't fit 2 rooms and a storage unit in 1 photo and linked my ebay. That's all I needed
@@waynep2123 yep i sent them a extra table and it was enough for them to accept me, hows your luck been in terms of people joining and making purchases?
I just searched Whatnot to see who had a review of how to use it and you came up. Thank you for the quick essentials of selling on Whatnot! I subscribed so I can watch your videos.
Thanks for making this video. I’ve been selling successfully on Mercari for about 3 years and was looking for another way to sell my goods. I love to see some more videos on the ins and outs of WhatNot.
We are looking to be on "Whatnot" very soon, Your video's just makes it more encouraging to do so. You do explain things pretty well and are easy to understand unlike some video's we have watched to get started that just left us more confused than before we started watching. Please, Please, Please continue with your video's about (Whatnot) we need a mentor! 😆 Cool Vids, Tip's, How to video's ect. 👍
Saw the ad for whatnot on tiktok. I didn't think much of it at first. But I decided to download it and fell in love with it. I'm a dragon ball and pokemon fan and got some great pulls from $5 auctions. I have a fairly big collection so far. Just submitted an application to sell and stream. Hopefully my tiktok following of 41k will help boost my sells. Thank you for the information!
Thank you, Cary, for this informative video. I’ve been trying to figure out where I want, and need to start, with selling on Whatnot. You make it sound so simple…wish me luck!
this is the first and probably last whatnot instructional video I will watch. I was just recently accepted. This means all my success or failure is all on you now. Thanks buddy I enjoyed it💰❤
Thanks for the info. I’d like you to do a video on the equipment we need to do shows and tell us how and who figures the tax and handles that! Thanks again
Appreciate the info on Whatnot. I was set up at a local card show this past weekend and I had someone mention it to me so I've been poking around trying to figure out if this may be a fit for my side business and came across your video. I'd be interested in more videos on Whatnot, maybe a little more on how your run the auctions, pre-set up and live, etc. Otherwise, it seems pretty straight forward, I've applied and I guess it may take a couple weeks until I know if I've been accepted. Thanks again for your insight.
Hell yea! Finally one of the first ones on Whatnot and GOATs in the reselling community covered Whatnot. Was wondering when you were going to make a video on this. Thanks for for the referral link! Got me buying a ton of shit on there LOL and now selling 😮💨
I’ve been meaning to do more stuff on Whatnot....it really is amazing and we spend a ton of time on it selling and buying. Go have fun on the app and apply, let me know if I can help :)
@@americanarbitrage I was actually surprisingly approved to sell after two weeks of applying, one month into using the app. I don't know if my very small following and some selling experience helped, or the amount of activity and money I've spent on the app LOL!
Appreciate your enthusiasm... happy to've discovered your UA-cam channel. Following you on whatnot also. Looking forward to upcoming posts & live auctions! Cheers!
we have been moving away from Amazon because of the amount of returns there and the constant chaning away from sellers protections. digging the videos.
Thank you so much for sharing I just applied to sell, waiting for approval and yes I am a little nervous about having a my first live show but also excited and can’t wait! Thank you!!!
lol I use to crochet the dolls exactly like you have on the shelf in the 80's. I made lots of money on those. We just applied recently to be a seller. Hope they approve us. Great video thank you for sharing the info.
This is my first time watching you and this was a fantastic explanation :) I will be submitting my video for Whatnot this week and am very happy to be (fingers crossed) joining the Whatnot family :) Thank you again :)
Nice video Cary. I'm trying my best to get in on the whatnot train. It's hard to board on it but I'm going to get my act together and build my social media.
I hope you see these questions. #1. I have a label printer, but do I need a regular printer for statements? # 2. I have a MacBook is this ok to use? #3. My phone is an A2 I think. Do I need to update it? I also have a ring light. Is there anything else I need?
Hi. Thanks for your help. I sell on ebay and have limit of $5,000 per month and 250 items per month. Should i let Whatnot know ? Would that help me or would they not want me kuz i sell elsewhere ? Only have 2 sales so far. 1 positive feedback. 100% positive feedback. "Seller was in touch every step of the way, item arrived as described perfect condition". Was 1st sale too. 🙂 Thanks. Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon.
I watched this video when you first made it. Watching again as I have my onboarding this week! I’ll be in the crafts & supplies category in the beginning. I like to research new things before I jump so this helps a bunch. :)
Thank you for explaining what this new platform is all about. I appreciate it. Please continue to give us updates on how it's working out for you and if you see any changes that we should be aware of. Thank you!
Thanks for the info i whatnot it very informative now i know i will wait a bit and now I am bummed because my son has been collecting Lego's since the early but he put them all together even making a flying ship with men locked and hanging in the rear, but he then lost interested it and putting them back together I told him if I take the tine to get them back together and they are in several set many with boxes and instructions with them and a few of the sets were going to be $650 thanks for explaining this for us!!!
Appreciate the information! Been using whatnot for a while Mainly sell Funkos. Haven't done a live show yet. Seems chaotic and intimidating but also fun.
Live shopping/buying is what I've been doing in my spare time, here in Hiroshima. I go to anime merchandise stores and do live videos via Instagram. However, it's not convenient at all considering how I have no help and I have to rely on a third party payment processor like PayPal. It's a slow, inefficient process.
I’m a on hands person and I like your video here but you were going a little to fast… had a hard time to try and follow you as you go. I know it’s easy for you to just go here and there. Is there a video you would recommend for a Step By Step for a Beginner ?? Thanks Cary & Dawn. I do Love to watch you shows !! 😊
I buy a lot on what not. I didn’t realize it was such a big process to sell. I’ve applied to be a seller, if they deny me, I will delete the app and just stick to eBay
Hey Cary-can you film your next What Not and post it for us newbies here on youtube. I've only see Josh-Hairy Tornado do it that way once and I'd love to see another one.
What about fees? Can you make a video on how much they charge? Also is it straight cash to your bank account or you have to file 1199 form during tax season?
All the resellers that I'm watching are talking about Whatnot . They are saying whatnot is the future of reselling. Can you buy if you have no account.. Something that disturbs me the cheap comments that some people leave. Valid comments are ok, but bashing people to bash is cheap and unkind. Keyboard Cowboys living in momma's basement are people reduced to to the lowest. I appreciate You and Dawn. I am out.
It’s definitely gonna be a huge part of the future of reselling! The more that embrace it, the better....they will have potential to make some good money. Appreciate you Ronald!
Sounds like this is something for the younger generation. I have UA-cam, a TikTok and Instagram accounts, but my activity levels on them vary. The fact that you have to be approved by WhatNot seems a bit unfair. I have a diverse inventory of things I sell on eBay, but not enough of one category where I can specialize. It sounds like they want to build a cadre of sellers who specialize in particular items. I've been selling on eBay for 25 years and have been very happy with it. But I would like to see some more WhatNot clips or auctions to get a better feel for it. I'm not sold on it, but never say never.
I plan on showing some live auction stuff in the near future. It suits me well...having been a live auctioneer here in Utah. It’s still pretty new...a big part of the future, but not replacing eBay :)
Thank you for this! I really really needed this as someone who is brand new to the app and will be having there first auction this Tuesday this helped so much! I’m excited and ready! And thanks to you I feel like any jitters I have have faded. Thank you so much! “Adaptation” that’s truly what it is
Why do they make it so hard to be accepted to sell live? I get that they are looking for people to run actions regularly but I don't get why they don't have a way for people that want to sell more casually. Why deny people that want to use your app?
Thank you for such a great video, on what to expect on Whatnot to become a seller. Love your energy and vibes 🤗💞💞🤗❤🙏 Btw did subscribe to your channel 🙂
Thank you for such great information 😀 I have a quick question, when I set up a live auction, do I use a tablet to show the product and monitor on the phone or do I need to do everything from one phone camera?
Hi thanks for the info on this app I’m not on UA-cam but I sell on Poshmark and have a store at my home thanks for suggesting if I need help to apply 🤗
I like whatnot but I applied to sale and sounds like if you don't have social media they might not let you sell and that's not very fair. I hope that's not the case but we will see and if that is the case I'll have to delete it because i only joined to sale. I do love watching your auctions on there. Since this whole pandemic started all the live auctions around where I live have shut down so I'm having hopes for this.
@@americanarbitrage I'm going to do like you said and keep emailing them. You guys are one of my favorites to watch on there because you bring such a good variety and that's what I want to do instead of just one category. I'm glad you put out this video because it's been very helpful. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I think you are right ebay is not going anywhere. I see whatnot taking over that $0.99 auction starting niche for most collectables. That is where they will start and grow from. I think at first the following you bring in will be important, but over time there probably be a shift to whatnot personalities themselves. Who has the great stuff, who amuses the buyers, who puts on a great show. You are right, now is the time to build that following. You should concentrate on everything that makes you stand out, have great camera work, lighting and make it interesting. You want to be one of the sellers who has a split screen showing your face as well as what you are selling. Whatnot is going to have to work on giving the creators (sellers) more screen space. Two people working together and keeping it lively would be best. You want to become a destination where your buyers want to buy a piece of your show along with the great stuff you have to sell. Kind of like Kevin's Eneman, but for whatever you are selling. Your buyers will have to want you to succeed and be invested and buy partially for that reason to be really successful on whatnot down the road. Or else you will be lost in a sea of auctions, grow a following or die. Good luck I hope you succeed..
So..I'm doing my onboarding tonight. 4/18. What will this look like? I'm so excited to get started. I think you're going to be my mentor!! Definitely going to need some help. Thanks for the 411.
Hey Cary, your last comments literally read my mind. If Ebay perceives Whatnot as a true threat, they'll either acquire or compete. The evil empire doesn't approve of true competition. LOL Good video as always and appreciate all the insight! Peace
Hey American Arbitrage, can you put in a good word for me on whatnot I just applied yesterday. It sucks you can only upload one image as I have over 10,000 Pokémon cards. Great video helped a lot. Thanks!
I've got some mixed feelings about auctions in general. My model I usually list at a high price and drift down over time. Every time I did auctions I felt like I could sell the item immediately for more money instead of waiting 7 days. I'm curious if bidding on this platform reliably reaches market or above market price for comps. I'll give it a shot and find out
One of the best parts of this app is its live....I put a card up and in 15 secs it’s sold and the buyer pays. You do get money after the item arrives...like mercari. I do more lower end stuff in general, less risk. I’ve found some go for less than eBay and some go for way more...it kinda evens out.
I'm very interested on selling on what not you're. Video was very thorough. I would like a Seymour insights. I do sell CBD creams and Probiotics, skin care products, And what also like to have is a platform for shoes, On which I currently do not have at the moment. Do you happen to know where to buy bulks of shoes?
another whatnot video!! just applied but never sold on IG or FB Admin, only my eBay store. I just started collecting and have been going in and don't see ever stopping. Easy access to a huge inventory. Advise?
I did my 1st whatnot show Sunday and I went a little over 2 hours. 🎉🎉 I learned a lot going through the motions. Just learning to conversate with chat and not see or hear people was awkward at first but it got easier. As far as sales I was doing random pulls and had no inventory added ahead of time and that caused me a lot of stress and I definitely need/want a large monitor to read the chat. I totally bombed as far as selling (I sold 3 things for $11 total to one very sweet helpful person) but I'm going to call it a win because I showed up and went through the motions and learned a lot! 😂😅 I can't wait to do it again!!!
nice to know
Thx brother just got accepted for what not your video helps a lot knowing what to excpect just followed
Cary you did a very good presentation. And furthermore i am very impressed with your speech pattern. At no point do you say "um" "like" "you know" "right" ... etc. That is a rare quality and makes you easy to listen to.
So glad you liked it! I don’t do a lot of sit down and talk videos...so I’m glad it came across well :)
Agreed 👍

Right on! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Yes , Please more What Not Videos .... Live Sales As Well .
Great video! I was contacted through ebay to sell on their platform so I'll be going crazy with it when the time comes.
Nice video Cary. I'm trying my best to get in on the whatnot train. It's hard to board on it but I'm going to get my act together and build my social media.
It is a little tough to get on ( not sure if it’ll always be that way) growing social media I’ve found is a great hack....for reselling in general

Mainly sell Funkos. Haven't done a live show yet. Seems chaotic and intimidating but also fun.
So fun! I’d try it out :) I really do enjoy it :)
Great video. I have my first show tonight.
Live shopping/buying is what I've been doing in my spare time, here in Hiroshima. I go to anime merchandise stores and do live videos via Instagram. However, it's not convenient at all considering how I have no help and I have to rely on a third party payment processor like PayPal. It's a slow, inefficient process.

Thanks for the info, looking forward to more fun and info in your other videos.
let's go - I just got my application in!
Hi thanks for video. I have a huge closet on pm and I own a brick and mortar boutique, was denied to be a whatnot seller. 😕
Hey Cary-can you film your next What Not and post it for us newbies here on youtube. I've only see Josh-Hairy Tornado do it that way once and I'd love to see another one.
I’ll try too :)
What about fees? Can you make a video on how much they charge? Also is it straight cash to your bank account or you have to file 1199 form during tax season?

Listed just posh store let them know if you have stores and how long you been a seller it took me 13/14 hours to be approved
hey i got approved for what not and you have a vedio of the process for the first live sale and with a laptop or phone or both !!!!
I don't have a video on that...but you can use both at once :)

Thank you for the great explanation. :)
You are welcome!
Great presentation thank you👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾

great video AA
Thanks Kev!
Thanks for the great info, exactly what I was looking for!
Glad it was helpful! 😀
Why do they make it so hard to be accepted to sell live? I get that they are looking for people to run actions regularly but I don't get why they don't have a way for people that want to sell more casually. Why deny people that want to use your app?
So how goes shipping work? How much do u have to pay to use the service
Just put in an application hopefully I'll be able to get in but I have a ton of older consoles and tons of collectable cards hope I get the approval

How do you even list vintage clothing? There is no barcode on vintage clothes- how do you list things?

How to establish an ACH payment bank account on whatnot. Trying to get started.
I think you just follow directions in the payment section…it was pretty easy process
What are the fees on whatnot?
I think you are right ebay is not going anywhere. I see whatnot taking over that $0.99 auction starting niche for most collectables. That is where they will start and grow from. I think at first the following you bring in will be important, but over time there probably be a shift to whatnot personalities themselves. Who has the great stuff, who amuses the buyers, who puts on a great show.
You are right, now is the time to build that following. You should concentrate on everything that makes you stand out, have great camera work, lighting and make it interesting. You want to be one of the sellers who has a split screen showing your face as well as what you are selling. Whatnot is going to have to work on giving the creators (sellers) more screen space. Two people working together and keeping it lively would be best.
You want to become a destination where your buyers want to buy a piece of your show along with the great stuff you have to sell. Kind of like Kevin's Eneman, but for whatever you are selling. Your buyers will have to want you to succeed and be invested and buy partially for that reason to be really successful on whatnot down the road. Or else you will be lost in a sea of auctions, grow a following or die. Good luck I hope you succeed..
You’re 100% right....I agree :) we’ve been growing a bit since we started. We are about to hit 2k followers :)
Next video light set up, and other equipment, do you have to buy an apple phone?
This was awesomely good information.. Thanks for breaking down the application process.
Glad it was helpful!
So..I'm doing my onboarding tonight. 4/18. What will this look like? I'm so excited to get started. I think you're going to be my mentor!! Definitely going to need some help. Thanks for the 411.
How did your onboard meeting go I have one coming up and am nervous
This video was super helpful! Thank you😊
Seems like a good platform but it kind of suck for people like me who only want to sell a few books maybe once every month or two.
It definitely is better for larger and more consistent auctions
Please do.more.whatnot videos!
Thanks for this just put in a application 👍
Good luck!
Hey! Awesome video super helpful! Is this a similar spot for people breaking boxes over WhatNot? You just sell each spot one by one?
It is...I’m actually doing my first break tomorrow on Whatnot ( usually do other types of auctions)
Hey Cary, your last comments literally read my mind. If Ebay perceives Whatnot as a true threat, they'll either acquire or compete. The evil empire doesn't approve of true competition. LOL Good video as always and appreciate all the insight! Peace
I hope they don’t buy it...it works great as it is :) I can’t imagine eBay completely ignoring this format....it’s right in there wheelhouse
Please explain how you get the printed labels and is everything done with your phone?
I heard you need two devices. One to run the show and one to add your items. Can that be a phone and tablet? Do you always need a phone?
Yes…phone, tablet or laptop. You can run from one device, just harder
Hey American Arbitrage, can you put in a good word for me on whatnot I just applied yesterday. It sucks you can only upload one image as I have over 10,000 Pokémon cards. Great video helped a lot. Thanks!
I like this video but I need more help in actually setting it up
where is the onboarding interview held ? i got the conformation but it doesnt say where to login
It’s online....I think it would say it on the email. I’d email and ask :)
I've got some mixed feelings about auctions in general. My model I usually list at a high price and drift down over time. Every time I did auctions I felt like I could sell the item immediately for more money instead of waiting 7 days.
I'm curious if bidding on this platform reliably reaches market or above market price for comps. I'll give it a shot and find out
One of the best parts of this app is its live....I put a card up and in 15 secs it’s sold and the buyer pays. You do get money after the item arrives...like mercari. I do more lower end stuff in general, less risk. I’ve found some go for less than eBay and some go for way more...it kinda evens out.
Prices are much lower. Depends on many people are watching your auctions
I'm very interested on selling on what not you're. Video was very thorough. I would like a Seymour insights. I do sell CBD creams and Probiotics, skin care products, And what also like to have is a platform for shoes, On which I currently do not have at the moment. Do you happen to know where to buy bulks of shoes?
Thanks for sharing have a blessed day
Just got approved to sell! Already did the video meeting! Just wanting for that email saying I can go live!!!
Congrats! Good luck 🍀
Can you get denied on the video meeting?
Hi, How long did it take to get approved? Thank you!
Once your approved how long does it take to get email with seller info
How do you find sellers? I can't find specific sellers
You can find them in search on whatnot
Do you think they will expand their catagories? I love the app and following the auctions, but wish I could sell more of my small antiques
I do picker auctions every week in the other category....we sell a lot of vintage and antiques
Great info… Thanks
Thanks!!
another whatnot video!! just applied but never sold on IG or FB Admin, only my eBay store. I just started collecting and have been going in and don't see ever stopping. Easy access to a huge inventory. Advise?
Thanks for the explanation
Great video. Thanks ❤
