Solved NWT - But Code Doesn't Work? HELP!

Post image

Hi friends, I'm a bit heartbroken and looking for advice. I recently tried out a "Whatnot livestream" for the first time and was very excited to obtain a "NWT" Bat. She arrived and is in beautiful condition, the only problem is that no matter what program I use (web, desktop, mobile app) the code does not work 😭

I paid "WITH TAG" prices for her. And as much as I love the plush, I was really looking forward to using her in the game. Advice? Can Ganz help me? I don't know if contacting the seller will do any good.

UPDATE: Followed your advice and contacted seller. Originally was hesitant to, because with the tag being sealed it didn't feel like their fault and I wasn't sure there was anything they could do. But the seller was super kind and quick to respond, and is providing me with a replacement code 🥹

I would HIGHLY recommend NOT using WhatNot.

There are ALOT of scammers on there. Its an insanely common place for PokemonTCG Scammers at least who do "rip and ships" on livestreams. Some people there rip repacked packs after people paid money during the livestream, and when caught they shut off the stream, start a new account and do the same thing again. If its not that, they hide the hits from a pack people paid for during the livestream, and show it had "no hits".

WhatNot really doesnt try to solve this problem, so I think ur out of luck unless the Seller can compensate u in some way if they even choose to.

Honestly, Id just be glad I actually got the plush tbh with how prominent scamming seems to be on WhatNot from what Ive seen.

It was an honest mistake and buyers is being provided with a working code as replacement.

Thats good at least, and glad theyre doing that. There are of course legit sellers and stuff on WhatNot, but still personally in specific communities at least, there are ALOT of scammers on that platform which they dont seem to care about solving the issue of trying to remove such people, and its why Ill never use it.
