Whatnot uses a commission-based fee structure that includes marketplace and payment processing fees, which can vary depending on the type of sale and final price. In this guide, we break down exactly how Whatnot fees work, how much it costs to sell on Whatnot, and what sellers should factor in when pricing items and planning live or marketplace sales.   For more in-depth information on Whatnot, you may want to read [How Does Whatnot Work? Whatnot Guide For Resellers](https://blog.vendoo.co/whatnot-app-a-guide-for-sellers-and-buyers)     ## Whatnot Marketplace “still” listings   Whatnot offers old school regular “buy it now” listing formats. Just like any other platform, items are available for sale 24/7 and are showcased within your Whatnot shop. Sellers also have the ability to enable buyers to make offers. Offers expire within 30 days if they are not accepted or rejected. Once an offer is accepted the buyer is immediately charged for the item.    *Auctions: *The ability to list auction style is coming soon, currently it is only available for the sports card category and is in waitlist status. Once auctions are fully rolled out sellers will be able to pin their auctions within their live shows to boost engagement.    *Video listings*: Video listings are in beta now, but once they are rolled out they will be the same as marketplace listings but sellers will be able to add a short video preview for potential buyers to see when they click on the listing, hopefully sparking interest and drawing them in to bid on your item!   *Worldwide market*: Whatnot sellers must be in the USA, Canada, France, Germany, or the UK. However, shipping is allowed to the USA, Canada, the UK, and most other countries.   ***FUN FACT:*** Buyers are watching TWO million hours of shows every week on Whatnot!!!

Whatnot automatically evaluates seller data weekly and turns on early payouts on Fridays for sellers who:     - sell over 100k before fees, or at least 1000           - orders, not including giveaways or tips - hosted at least 10 live streams - rating of 4.8 or higher - have no violations   Cash-out via Stripe or PayPal!   Whatnot also provides seller statements, which are a summary of the breakdown of funds, fees, costs, and payouts. This data is very helpful with taxes.    **Returns: **Whatnot allows returns ONLY if** **the item is not as described, counterfeit, missing or arrives broken. Otherwise, items are sold as is. If there's an issue, a request can be submitted through the app.    Whatnot is a platform that has something for everyone, sellers and buyers alike.
