You’ll learn how USPS rules and Whatnot pricing estimates work together, why weight numbers like 1–5 pounds show up so often, and what to do when ...
Send a text Why does smart bundling sometimes do the exact opposite of what you expect? In this mini deep dive, Why Not Whatnot? breaks down the two most common bundling problems sellers face: • When everything fits into one box — but Whatnot splits it • When nothing fits into one box — but Whatnot bundles it These situations feel completely backwards, but they come from the same place: cost-optimized shipping logic built on USPS pricing, not real-world packing. This episode focuses on unders...

I employ you to really wrap your mind around it and start off with your business with the right frame of mind. #beyourbest #whatnot #shippingintegri...

This is about becoming a better salesperson, creating trust, and focusing on long-term success instead of vanity numbers. If you want happier buyers, stronger ...

Send us a text On Friday the 16th I recorded this quickly and without any forethought. I did use notes in my phone that were titled great new idea which refers to my idea of filtering, which I hope that somebody in power listens too.
