How to Proceed with Unethical Buyer
Question... I had a show and messed up the shipping for a first-time customer. I believe it was isolated mistake to just two items that possibly got swapped during bagging. It was just a $5 item. I deeply apologized to her for the mistake and told her to put in a request for refund. There was no way for me to get it back. She bought 4 items (she did get 4 items one which was wrong and a free gift that I give all my customers). The other customer who may have gotten her item is a reseller who bought 20+ items and probably thought nothing of it (her purchase was also $5). But again, I am not certain if she was the one who actually got it out of the 31 shipments I had for that show. I offered if she were to attend my show again, that I would give her a complimentary piece of jewelry for my mistake and to please continue for the request for refund for the $5 item. She then went on a rant that I probably did because I did not get what I wanted for the item and did send it, etc. I told her that I was offended by her accusation and that was certainly not the case, that in 7000 items I have only messed up twice like this and my reviews speak for themselves. I looked and saw that she put in a refund request but not for the $5 item she was missing but for the most expensive item she bought which was a $26 item claiming it was missing from shipment (other 3 were $5 items) and it seemed to go through. Obviously, there are email communications about this incident, and I am more upset that she lied to WhatNot and she got away with it. Do I say something to her that I know what she did calling her out, let it go or should I report it to WhatNot? I have blocked her. UGH

Reaching out to to defend yourself or work things out doesn’t work with unreasonable people. Sometimes you just have to let people be people. Definitely report her to Whatnot and then block her so you don’t do any business with her again.
Anyone providing seller buyer support?
How is it working out? “Seller Provided Support Enroll now to support buyers directly.” - Whatnot

Whatnot’s new Seller Provided Support program has officially taken effect for me, and I’m excited about it. I’ve always looked at Whatnot as the platform I use to run my own business. These are my customers, my products and my reputation, so I believe I should have the opportunity to handle my own customer service and make decisions based on the situation. I know what I sold. I know how I described it, how I packed it and what condition it was in when it left me. If there’s a problem, I would much rather speak directly with my customer and work through it myself. I also think this change will bring the cream to the top. Sellers who describe their items honestly, package them carefully, communicate well and take care of their customers will stand out. Buyers will see which sellers truly stand behind their businesses. This gives sellers more control, but it also holds us more accountable. I’m comfortable with that. I care about my customers, and I’m happy to stand behind my business and the service I provide. The_accessory_alchemist

New shipping rules :FLAT RATE GONE?
Hey gang. Am I the only person confused about the new upcoming shipping policy on WhatNot? If you have already changed your shipping to reflect it can you show me what mine should look like? I feel like it took me forever to make sense of my shipping the first time around.

I think I'm going to take the easy route and just pay for my own boxes and ship everything ground...less to worry about!

@Claire Dus Sault I don't know. If the weight is over 1lb and it forces the priority box, I'll do that. I'm really as confused as everyone else!
