Excellent video, thank you very much!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Finally! Someone using Android! Its literally the only reason I havent started, because so many android users on whatnot seem to have so many issues. I'd like to see a show running from the seller's side..
Hey, thanks, so glad I could give you some insight from an android side. I actually have that exact video on my list, Running an auction and recording the start to finish of it. It will be a few weeks before I can accomplish that one but I will be doing that for sure!
Great content Amanda! Easy to follow and incredible motivational! :)
Thank you so much Joji! I definitely wanted to show how simple it can be if you just follow the steps. So glad it was motivational and hope it was helpful!
This channel is just a wealth of knowledge!
💯
Thank you! I am loving sharing this info and I'm so glad it is valuable!

Thanks for the video. Also, could you make a video and show how during a live show on how to get the auction to show up at the bottom of the screen with the 10 sec timer during the live show. I'm new to whatnot and haven't done a show yet.
Hey, thanks for watching! I am planning a video that will show a live show complete from start to finish. That should be out in the next month!

Great information! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching, so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you SO MUCH! Glad I found your video! I've been waiting for Whatnot's help center to answer a critical question... and you answered it in your video! Another question I have... is it true that Whatnot limits your shipping adjustments to 5 per week? But don't I have to adjust every shipment based on the actual weight and dimensions of the package so USPS has the correct information? Or am I totally confused?? :) Thank you!
Hey, you're so welcome!! So glad to hear I answered your question. So yes, you will need to adjust your dimensions and weight when generating a label and as long as you aren't adjusting to the point of a price change you're good. For example, let's say you sell something at a 12oz shipping weight but after packing it ends up being 1.2lbs, that would result in a "label adjustment" and you get 5 of those free as long as they are minor adjustments. After you use those 5, it will charge your account the label cost difference. Hope that makes sense! Definitely feel free to come to the Live here on RUclips 8/7 @3pm ET if you have any other questions I can answer live for you!
Are there any special keyboard commands for running the giveaways
I'm not familiar with any keyboards commands, but I also rum my auctions through my phone. To run a giveaway you would just go into your store on your selling screen and start the giveaway
Great video. I am having my first show in week or so. I got my items in order and listed them in that same order. I put the numbers on the hangers as well. When I go back and look at what I loaded, it’s in a different order! Every time I look at it, the order has changed. I’m nervous about keeping it straight when it doesn’t match up anymore. Any help would be appreciated ❤
Hey, thanks! So that's a great idea to keep track of items. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of them being out of order is because sometimes Whatnot will put numbers in order based on the actual numbers not necessarily the numerical order. For example let's say you have items listed with the numbers 1 through 20, usually it will list the numbers like this it'll be 1, 11, 12, 13 so on, and then it would go back to number 2 and then the last number would probably be number 20. If that's what it looks like, then what I see some people do to go around that is to list the numbers with zeros in front, so listing it like 001, 002, 003, so on and so forth. If you'd like to drop your whatnot username I can definitely take a look and see if I'm seeing something different on my end 😊
How do you do the number system when going live . I see people pull random stuff without showing what it is
Hello! So there are a few different ways to do a number system but the way I do mine is once an auction has ran, I label the book with the number of the auction that was. For example if the book weighs 4-7 oz and it was the 5th book I've ran in that weight range, the label would say 4-7/5 on a sticky note. Some people pre load their auction with numbers 1- whatever and label that way. I'm not 100% sure if that answered your question just let me know!
How do you turn on pre-bidding on items listed on a scheduled auction ?
Hello, prebids are automatically available in listing available in an auction. When someone is browsing your store inside of a show, the option to prebid will be there, you don't have to turn it on
@@resellmaven thank you so much ! Support emailed me mentioning if seller turned it on but I found out it’s on my auction 😊
Hi thanks for your videos. I need help please. So I scheduled my first show, i created 300 listings. I need to make changes, is there a way where i am able to bulk edit the bid starting amount? And also bulk delete? Thanks!
Hey there! Congrats on getting your first show scheduled and set up! So as far as I know, there is not a way to bulk edit the starting bid but if you could it would likely be on desktop. Go on a computer and click on your listings or the show it's already in. As far as bulk deleting, you should be able to do that and it would be from your listing page as well.
I just saw a video saying how you need a auctioneer license in certain states. Is this true?
Hello, if you are running an in person live auction, maybe, but you do not need any licenses to sell on Whatnot
How about the shipping when the item is sold.. do they email it to you so you print it and ship to tje address of
Customer?
Hello, shipping is handled through a dashboard on Whatnot. It will populate all of your orders, and you will make any modifications to weight or size and then print the label through the dashboard.
Do we need to put to the listings all your item
That you like to sell ? Or its ok if some are not listed yet a s just show it live to the buyer?
Please help
Thanks for answers in advance
Great question, yes you can do a mix or list everything individually if you would like. Some sellers do like to take individual pictures and make individual listings with prices of every book, and some sellers don't make any listings and just show all the books they have or items they have to sell and people just pick and choose what they want and then the seller can make a listing from there.
That is sort of what I do, I have pictures of all the books on my shelves listed so people can browse what I have, but I'm showing books in the camera as well that have not been shown already and people can pick from that selection. What I typically do then is make a bundle and whenever the person's ready to cash out I will cash their pile out as a bundle by making a single listing with all their books
How do you know what shipping cost to charge if someone buys more than 1 book from your show. Do you just charge double,ie, if shipping for 1 book is $4 than add $4 shipping for each additional book?
Hey, so shipping for books is calculated by weight when shipped via media mail. So the base rate for any media mail is $4.63 and then depending on the weight of each book being purchased, the price goes up anywhere from free shipping to a few bucks. Most of the time every pound of additional weight in the package is about $.50-$60. So for example if I ran an auction for a book that weighed 7oz, the buyer would be charged $4.63 then let's say the same buyer buds on another book that only weighs 4oz, their shipping on the send item is free bc it is still under the 1lb. If the second book was 10oz, the additional shipping may be about 50 cents since it is now over a pound for the order. Hopefulyl that makes sense but whatnot does the shipping automatically so you don't need to worry about it. Just make sure you have buyer pays shipping on when you set up your show!
Hi, do I always have to make listings of each item that are going to be on the live show? coz I think it defeats the purpose of selling fast. It's like the same as just making regular listings on other marketplaces...
Hey! So yes and no, you can choose to list all the items you will have available for each show if you would like and then anything that doesn't sell you can clone those listings to future shows. Or you can just have all the items you have available out and on display to just show the details live and run as a generic auction.
What I mean by a generic auction is for example you could make a listing with a quantity of like 100 and List It by the weight. So what I do is I have a listing for 4 to 7 oz, 12 to 15 oz, 1 to 2 lb, 2 to 3 lb so on and so forth and then when someone asks for you to run an item that you're showing you just run an auction based on the weight of the item that way the shipping is calculated correctly and you didn't have to individually list everything. Let me know if that didn't answer your question and thank you so much for watching!
