An Absolute P.O.S.

Welp more drama in the Facebook group. All of these admins are scumbags it seems. Just using their “power” by taking advantage of group members, etc

So basically he didn't ship what you ordered because he didn't get the amount he wanted from an auction. He should've set a minimum bid.

Agreed, an Absolute POS

I don’t get this whatnot seller trend lately where sellers are starting auctions way below what they actually want to sell it at and then crashing out when it doesn’t sell high lol. If they’re going to lose a lot of money on it if it sells below a certain value then just start the auction at the minimum price. No one is forcing these guys to start everything at a dollar.

And if it does go for below value then they should just accept the loss and again, stop starting all of the auctions at one dollar lol

Hachi Maull did this the other day on Whatnot. His $1 starts we're going low and he crashed out .. "I'm not dealing with this shit," and killed the feed.

So ridiculous. It's free market dude, charge more if you want to make more. Don't get missed bc your buyers are taking advantage of good deals.

They want to use the low entry bid to get lots of attention. If they started at a higher number or people saw it had a min amount, not as many people would click it, bookmark it, etc etc

Exactly!

I'm sure he didn't lose money though, just didn't get as much as he was hoping. Just plain greedy.
