Whatnot took our community by storm this year! After 21 shows and over 1,200 items sold I'm here to chat with you about my thoughts and reflections. These are just my opinions and not meant to be interpreted as anything else. Will I continue to sell on Whatnot? I'll let you know in this video. Thanks so much for watching!

[@Chadwickworks]

Hands down the best and most informative video (and this is like the 7th I have watched in a row trying to get a feel for whatnot). Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge and personality!

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you so much! I'm truly so happy that it was helpful. I appreciate you watching! xo

[@lifeoflonny]

Hi Lori! Great video with valuable info! I'm a fellow reseller also and selling on the Whatnot app( mid-tier designer bags). I would definitely agree with your thoughts on the pros and cons. I didn't bring over a following from any other social media platforms so building a following organically on the app is definitely more difficult(another con). I do love the sense of community though, and how supportive everyone is over on the app. I do onboarding for poshmark on the 7th as well and am looking forward to going live. Thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@oldseer6936]

you've managed speculation(s) .. with a lot of "if(s) and and(s)"... just plain amazing.

[@Chelbsn]

Hi Lori😊🔆 I am the buyer of the two items in your closet. I have received both items and I love them both! Purple is my favorite color💜 and I needed a neutral layering piece so the soft camel colored piece is perfect. So, from your closet ro mine, both items will be put to lots of good use!!

[@LorisBostonFound]

This makes me so happy!! xo

[@HDladyrider]

I love Whatnot and getting ready to start my shop.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Wishing you all the best!

[@SchwallySells]

AHHH!!! When you scrolled through Whatnot, one of my shows showed up when you scrolled!!! That was WILD! I'm so excited :) I've been enjoying the community on Whatnot a lot.

[@LorisBostonFound]

That's so exciting! I hope it was a great show! The Whatnot community is really special.

[@kellyreally]

I love this follow-up video, thank you so much❤

[@annadavison2300]

Hi Lori-Super job giving us pros/cons of live sales. 😊

[@janemahan2663]

I am not a reseller but I find this interesting. You are the consummate, professional salesperson Lori! I am incredibly fortunate in being 15 minutes away from 3 Goodwills PLUS a Goodwill BIns and find all I need if I'm patient!

[@ndcINC]

im really late here but just recently getting into whatnot. your notes were soooo insightful!! you really hit on some very niche marketing aspects that I've thought of like how much description you put into the items beforehand, listing higher, etc. great video Lori you're a reseller legend :)

[@abbyhasting]

Thank you Lori!

[@styleonrepeat]

I have zero interest in live selling as both a buyer and a seller. I've tuned into quite a few shows on both WhatNot and Posh and it's just not how I like to shop. I've even watched sellers that were very engaging (like Ralli Roots) and even then I can't make it past a few minutes. No shade on them, I just don't enjoy the experience. I've tried! As a seller, I won't go live because I have no desire to go on camera. I don't have a problem with those who do, but I do wish there was some way to keep those filming their Starbucks runs off the platform because I think this cheapens the image of Poshmark not just for live sellers, but for all of us who have worked so hard on our closets. All this said, I don't have a problem with anyone who wants to do lives but I do wish there was quality control on these streams for the reason I mentioned above. I'm also wondering if Posh will have the bandwidth left to fix the fundamental problems with their platform or if all their energy is being spent on this "shiny object". All that said, I have stopped paying attention to a lot of reseller channels that only talk about WhatNot/Posh Lives anymore, but I still watch all of your videos because I love your style and how thorough you are no matter what the topic. 🙂

[@brndafay8518]

Ditto!! Everything you said!!

[@stephfran9761]

I can empathize with you, when I first started buying from Whatnot, it seemed a bit odd, however, after I started engaging with the chat, it turned out to be a great deal of fun.

[@makedreamsareality3634]

I got on whatnot over a year ago and things have changed significantly! I’m on the vintage tee side of things and unfortunately with how saturated the platform is now, at times is not even worth it. Like everything nothing truly lasts, I think people are getting a bit bored of the app, If you pay close attention, many of the bigger sellers are not on as frequently and have begun to go back to older platforms. I think it’s still a great app, especially for buyers they’ll definitely get some great deals! Great Vid!

[@skygods89ify]

I agree, it has really divided the community. Because I have no interest in live sales, as a reseller, I've stopped watching many of the resellers that I used to learn from as I'm not learning when they're buying low price items to sell on what not. I still watch your channel but I have to admit, when you're sourcing things for what not, I leave the video.

[@LorisBostonFound]

I understand Lori. I appreciate your honesty. I'm so glad you are still here even for part of my videos. Thank you! 💕

[@Leigh1968]

Me to. Because I know it’s going to be low quality

[@karynroeseler2652]

You said what I was thinking. I have been a reseller on ebay for 3 years. There are several youtubers that I have watched the entire time. Now they have live sales and what not sales. Their shop with me now is usually about buying for their sales and the items are subpar compared to eBay items. I no longer watch them. Very disappointing.

[@raqueldubose6029]

I do the exact thing. I skip over anyone speaking on what not. I love Lori so I try to support but for ex, hairy tornado use to be one of my favs. No I barely watch him.

[@mabelh7305]

Always awesome videos!!! Thank you and love your hair!~

[@michd5507]

My ONLY issue... Not with the platform itself, was with EVERYONE "forcing it down our throats". It was just too much from all KZbinrs at once. A CONSTANT bombardment. It's all KZbinrs talked about at one time. Great video with the pros and cons. Your videos are always balanced... And they make miss living in MA!

[@LorisBostonFound]

I think it's nice that things have settled down on Whatnot. Some have embraced it, others not but it doesn't seem to be quite so polarizing any more.

[@msluba]

You did a very well video explaining in detail the pros and cons very easy to understand you're a very well speaker thank you so much

[@anneanne1563]

If I were to buy i would buy from you. I can tell you are reputable and that makes all the difference. Keep up the good work :).

[@AnnEckhartVlogs]

This was such a wonderful video, Lori! Very thorough and balanced. I am excited to see how Posh Live sales go for you - sounds like their biggest issues are lack of bundling (sounds like that is coming in November) and people opening cases. Those are two big bonuses on WhatNot. But if Poshmark can fix those issues I can see the clothing category shrinking on WhatNot. There's been a decline overall on WhatNot, but of course, with the time of year, most people don't have the time to spend watching auctions that they did in the summer. I will be curious if the audiences will come back after the holidays and during the winter when they are less busy. It's such an exciting time in reselling regardless....and once Ebay gets into the live sales, it will be a game changer!

[@Myfairgirlie]

I agree the quality is as good as in the other platforms. Now I only buy few reseller in Whatnot! I’ve seen the quality of their items.

[@darylshops]

i just discovered Whatnot a month ago and did my first show. I basically am using it to quickly clean out my wardrobe. I am an ebay seller but i don't want to take and download a bunch of photos, so Whatnot works well for that. I also do KZbin videos about styling clothing from each Bin haul and so it's pretty easy to talk up the auction. I appreciate the "no cancellation" policy and how easy it is to ship. And that they do that end of it. Yay! I did not think that it was intuitive to start the show, share devices and some other things. Like WHERE ARE THINGS? And if the app freezes on your phone, all you do is end the stream and make a new one. Yes, that's what i got to do on my very first show last night! (sigh) Thanks for your video.

[@saisha_rae]

you're hair and makeup are fire today 🔥 gorgeous!

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you so much 😀 I've been trying to wear lipstick more. xoxo

[@Leigh1968]

As a buyer….I have not been very satisfied. I prefer a higher quality product and I started noticing that KZbinrs were exclusively looking for whatnot product which means it’s probably lesser quality. I don’t find that fair to a buyer.

[@sarahfillingame5586]

Yes I bought something (not from Lori). It was in horrible condition and trying to get a refund has been horrible.

[@SueLW65]

Same here…I bought some items that should have stayed at Goodwill. I didn’t try to get refunds, but I will most likely donate the items. I deleted the app so I wouldn’t be tempted.

[@Jstewart261]

Can you leave reviews on there?

[@ahshamiranda790]

@@SueLW65 I am right there with you! I deleted the app after 20+ buys. I had FOMO in the sales and was rarely satisfied with the quality received. I was happy with 20% of what I bought. I considered it gambling - no longer in my budget!

[@LorisBostonFound]

@@Jstewart261 Yes, anyone can review their purchase Jackie.

[@stardavis6618]

Thank you for such a thorough and well thought out video. Whatnot is still not for me as a buyer or seller as live sales are not my preferred way of shopping or selling but I appreciate all the work you put into really breaking things down.

[@jamiekonz9151]

Just found this video trying to understand what not more. I always can count on you for informative help. I can’t help but think you would do so well filming yourself doing your Whatnot sales and putting it on your KZbin to watch. Crazy lamp lady goes live just before her shows, and she films herself for us.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you! I have been wanting to do that for a while. Maybe for my next show I'll film a little glimpse!

[@beckymorton6655]

Really informative video Lori. When Whatnot first started I watched it quite a bit with mainly youtubers I generally would watch on KZbin anyway. I bought a couple things for myself. My frustration was really wanting something but kept getting out bid because like with Jenna Empty Hanger she has such a huge following that everyone was bidding and it became frustrating. Guess that's why I don't go to auctions lol. When I want to buy something I just buy it. The bidding process wasn't my thing. I haven't watched any shows on there for months. Nor will I watch the Poshmark lives probably to buy anyway. As a reseller myself I just don't have the time to sit and watch them just to buy something or the patience to keep bidding against other people all night and not get the item without overbidding what I felt comfortable spending. The excitement of bidding for an item can definitely get you in trouble financially if you aren't careful. I have no interest in doing it live myself to sell. But you have the personality to do great on there :)

[@resilient_abril3196]

Thank you for your honesty Lori I think alot of sellers got burned out on whatnot and sales are slow hopefully they pick up but I agree don't put all your eggs in 1 basket I think as a seller I'm still doing 2 shows a week but would like to invest this time into poshmark hopefully I will be able to sale live soon also I truly appreciate the friends I've made on whatnot

[@youshinestudio6583]

Lori, you are amazing. It's been a joy to watch you grow. Thank you for all you do, and the knowledge you share. I have literally BEGGED Whatnot to let me sell on their platform -- and they have denied me, twice, because I don't have a social media following. I live near 4 Goodwill Outlets!! I can literally save 100+ pounds from the landfill EVERY DAY here. I have emailed them REPEATEDLY and get denied, with videos, brand names, everything I could do... I'm hoping that if I contact enough of the youtubers I watch regularly, like you, and make enough noise on social media, they will let me sell. PLEEEEEASE HELP!! If you have a whatnot contact that is willing to chat with me, zoom with me, whatever I need to do to sell. I appreciate you!

[@heavydutysupernaturalchitc3619]

They are working on bundling .. I think they will have it out by Black Friday... I am excited about poshmark live auctions ..! I do my first show next week ..! I am seeing starting bids much higher and that sellers are understanding the value of their items and buyers and purchasing the items at a much higher starting bid ... I have noticed that when there is many shows all at once .. everyone has a good amount of people in their shows not just where one or two people have a good audience ....they are definitely working on a bundling feature and I am sure it will be great ..! I bet that Next will be Ebay live auctions LOL... In many other countries like Korea (where I was born ) and France etc.. they have been doing live auction sales for many years ... we actually have had a late start with all this but I think it's amazing ..! The holidays are near so things will be successful for us all ..!!

Thank you for this! I’ve done 2 Whatnot shows and have gotten discouraged as they did not yield much profit but took lots of prep. I may give it a shot with no pictures or measurements. Do you think that because you are a KZbinr you are still doing well without the pics etc. Can that work for an every day Joe? The stickers are a great idea. Thanks again.

[@sarahlaster445]

You might not see this since this is an old post BUT.. do you think all of the followers on Poshmark really followed you or does the software "help" a person get followers? I've done practically nothing and have tons of followers. I lost my corporate 6 figure job in May so I'm kicking the resell business into high gear. I've always done it but never to pay the bills. Thankfully, I was a nerd in real life so navigating the different sites is not a big deal. Now, I'm just looking for the "inside" scoop to do things as well as I possibly can. I like your show. Real. Just the facts and no hype. I will be spending time going back and watching your content. Thank you!

[@nannymarta4268]

Thank you for your vlogs ... great, thought-provoking content. Re PM Lives vs. WN Auctions = to me, just to me, I am more comfortable w/PM bc it's my "normal." But also, to me, WN has a definite "Bro vibe", more gritty, raw, and of the street..v this is not the right term but, maybe, WN is more gamer"? And PM Lives has a "Sis" or "girly...femme" vibe. Seems lighter, more tuned to the ladies. Almost like PM &: EB. Now, this is just my take, my feelings. I've been on both, spent a veritable fortune on both, but once PM went "live," I haven't looked back. All my PM orders, and there are many, have been bundled; and I'm sure PM will rectify this. I don't think any of my WN orders were bundled, but I could be wrong. My first show, I bought several pieces, and shipping was never brought up. I had just assumed my order would be bundled, but the joke was on me!!! Lol At PM, I've gotten great deals on high-end pieces, low enough to resell. I'm very happy w/PM tho I have restricted myself. $$. I should go give WM another shot... and i know just whose show to visit!! 😉

[@happyhourhaulers6126]

I have not watched the video yet, but I think that you are spot on with your interpretation of the whole gamer “bro vibe”. If I stray outside of my category at all, I hear more terms about “fire“, “gas“, “don’t sleep on it bro” and “back hits” than I ever have cared to hear. Heck, they sometimes even randomly show up in my favorite handbag category. Luckily we tend to run them out pretty quickly.

[@nannymarta4268]

@Happy Hour Haulers thank you so much. I was a little nervous about sticking my neck out there. And this in no way had anything to do with sweet Lorie, who is one of the most feminine, 'all lady' ReSellers out there!!

[@happyhourhaulers6126]

@@nannymarta4268 I completely agree! And I think that’s probably why she has so many people show up for her shows. A lot of that is subscribers, but I think for a lot of us her style is such a breath of fresh air compared to other sellers that we watch on the Whatnot app. I have tried to embrace the Poshmark live sales, but I’m just having trouble engaging. On Whatnot you really form a sense of community when you are in the same shows with the same people, which is something so unique, and that we really only experience here on KZbin, at least for us. We have made some great friends on whatnot! And with Poshmark it seems like people skip around so much. It will definitely be interesting to see how these two platforms evolve. I have been watching Lori and buying from her since before I was a Reseller and I have learned so much. So I am always so interested on her take. I love how open minded she can be, but also quite frank when she makes a fumble or something doesn’t quite work out. And I have so much mad respect for owning those gaffs and missteps and sharing and learning from them.

I’ve watched way too many WN shows and purchased probably 50-75 items. At this point, I’m only buying NWT items. I’ve been burned many times with flawed items. I’m a reseller but don’t sell on WN. It seems like most buyers on WN are resellers. I think it’s hard to “source” on WN because even though prices may seem low, the quality is usually not what I’m willing to sell on my platforms.

Hi Lori! I’m looking for the link for vendoo to give you credit

[@jang5918]

Lori, can I post a link to my Poshmark closet here in your comments and have you (or anyone really) give me some feedback on it? My sales are few and far between and I’d love to know if it’s my stuff, the prices of my stuff, or the pictures of my stuff? I need brutal honest critiquing. Lol I wish Poshmark had some kind of message board where resellers could share thoughts, tips, or just chat with one another.

[@CheriBomzArt]

How is a seller notified when they have a sale in Their store? For BUY IT NOW?

[@mlbashanti8885]

How many sales on Poshmark does it take to go love to sell?

[@TrashAndChampagne]

The part where you're talking about the energy in the room is so much like doing Stand Up Comedy. Because they're so parallel, what I've come to realize is it's actually up to the host to try to CHANGE the energy in the room, no matter if you're hosting a What Not Show, a comedy show, or something in between. Crazy, yes. But give it a shot. XOX.

[@HuguetteBC]

For the first time I bought an item on Poshmark live. What do you think of that platform? They were definitely not as organized as What Not.

[@Arizona_lilly]

Inhave 800 items at all times and still bearly did 5 items in summer on posh

What is a bins show? What does bin mean

[@ingrammedendorp5293]

Lori - will you do the Posh shows?

[@LorisBostonFound]

Yes, I'm onboarding on Novembr 7th. Excited to try it!

[@timberdark]

@@LorisBostonFound Yea can't wait to see you on Posh ....

[@moniqueklampert728]

@@LorisBostonFound I just got the email for the onboarding on the 7th. I have to work that day though :(

[@Leigh1968]

You aren’t buying much anymore on what not. That says a lot.

[@Arizona_lilly]

I heard this give shipping or packing labels yes I’m getting new printer $100

[@bellesbottoms]

Im sure a social media following helps with whatnot. I don’t have that, so I decided not to do what not . I never got my stickers

[@LorisBostonFound]

Yes, it definitely helps at first, however I have seen so many people surpass me and others with a social media presence b/c they have had more shows and they are really consistent. I don't think it matters as much over time. Whatnot has its own community aside from typical social media. Geneva...please DM me about your stickers. I'll send them out ASAP.

[@Resale-a-lot]

ebay has a limited live sales section.

[@jimkuntz8423]

Btw I am the wife, i watch you and i am a reseller in vintage decor, but i value time and 1200 items is a lot, how much time does it take to get ready ship etc. Time 😂😂is 😂😂money, and when you say Sunday omelettes sounds way better that whatnot i would think you would just want weekends not to work, you seem work lots, with so much shopping so much selling. You seeem to do well at the other platforms what not seems like a whole lot time

[@brunomclovin8413]

I have watched a few of the what not shows but never all the way through seems like a time eater at least for me.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Definitely a time suck Bruno! It can be fun though, depends on the show!

[@Arizona_lilly]

I’m planning on giving really really nice items for give away one of a king for that day and a super nice item so someone can win

[@SecondHandJan]

What about taxes?

[@Arizona_lilly]

Wow 1200 items I’ll die

[@raepeters3625]

I get annoyed by the obviously drunk sellers on Poshmark lives. Hopefully they somehow come up with a way to kinda monitor how the lives are going.

[@alimehilba8625]

Great Presentation an easy way , Thanks for Sharing , any recommendation on getting more traffic , I am expert in Coins and Currency . Happy New Year

[@Ozarklivingbellavistashrimp]

Whatnot is just a place for resellers to buy crap. I don't think it will last much longer.

[@Arizona_lilly]

Ur pretty nice teeth too ❤

[@nancybarrett3988]

So, Whatnot is a pyramid marketing program!

[@gloriakdesigns1385]
