Ever wondered if Whatnot is the right platform for your reselling business? In this brutally honest episode, Leah and Kayla pull back the curtain on their three-attempt journey with Whatnot live auctions, spanning several years in the kids' clothing niche.

From being early pioneers in Whatnot's fashion category (when it was just collectibles and Funko Pops) to being actively recruited back to the platform, the hosts share everything they've learned about live auction selling. They break down the major differences between Whatnot, Poshmark, and eBay's live auction features, with special focus on the shipping complexities that nearly broke their business model.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why Whatnot's "smart bundling" system doesn't actually work across custom shipping profiles
• The shocking truth about who keeps overcharged shipping fees (spoiler: it's not the sellers)
• Real numbers on commission structures and hidden transaction fees
• Practical workarounds for selling varied-weight items like kids' clothing
• Why seller refund capabilities matter more than you think
• Their strategy moving forward: bundle selling and category-specific shows

Whether you're considering adding Whatnot to your reselling platforms or struggling with shipping issues on your current shows, this episode offers valuable insights into making platform decisions that actually support your bottom line. Perfect for both new resellers exploring options and established sellers considering expansion.

Bottom line: Whatnot isn't getting a goodbye forever, but it's definitely on the back burner until some serious shipping infrastructure improvements happen.
