🚨 Major Whatnot Policy Changes Are Here! Are You Ready? 🚨

 

🚀 Stay Compliant & Keep Selling – Free Whatnot Policy Guide!

If you're selling mystery boxes, chase games, or running surprise-style auctions on Whatnot, you NEED to be aware of the latest policy updates taking effect on March 10, 2025. These changes impact how you structure your sales, what’s allowed, and what could get you banned if not followed correctly.

The goal? More transparency, fewer shady mystery box scams, and stricter rules on randomized prizes.

So what does this mean for YOU as a seller? Let’s break it down. 👇

📌 What’s Changing? The New Rules at a Glance

❌ What’s No Longer Allowed:

• No more mystery-style games with hidden prizes (e.g., Chase Spots, Prize Boxes, Randomized Wheels).
• No advertising the floor, ceiling, or average value of a Surprise Set.
• No randomized distributions using spin wheels, pinball machines, or other physical/digital tools.

✅ What’s Still Allowed (With Full Transparency):

• Surprise Sets CAN exist, but every possible item must be fully disclosed before purchase.
• Buyers must know which box they’re purchasing (based on auction order).
• Sellers can list item categories (e.g., 'PSA Graded Pokémon Cards') instead of revealing exact items but cannot withhold major details.

If you’re running mystery boxes or surprise-style auctions, you need to adjust your listings to avoid getting flagged. Here’s how:

✅ Example of a Compliant Surprise Set Listing:

“This Surprise Set contains 10 pre-numbered boxes, each assigned to the auction winner based on their auction number (e.g., Auction #1 gets Box #1, Auction #2 gets Box #2, etc.). The contents of each box remain a surprise until the end of the auction, but all possible items are disclosed below.”

📦 Example: Graded Card Surprise Set

• Box #1: PSA 10 Charizard, PSA 9 Pikachu
• Box #2: CGC 10 Umbreon GX, CGC 9 Lugia V
• Box #3: BGS 9.5 Rayquaza, PSA 8 Full Art Trainer
• Box #4: PSA 10 Eevee VMAX, PSA 9 Mewtwo GX
• Box #5-10: (etc.)

📌 Key Takeaway: Buyers know the exact box number they are purchasing at the time of sale, but the contents remain a surprise until revealed live on stream.

🔥 Why Whatnot Made These Changes

These updates aren’t just to make sellers’ lives harder—they’re meant to protect buyers from misleading mystery box scams and keep the platform fair for everyone. Some sellers have been:

• ❌ Overhyping their mystery boxes with fake floor/ceiling values.
• ❌ Using randomized elements to determine prizes.
• ❌ Not disclosing enough details, leading to bad buyer experiences.

Whatnot wants to eliminate these shady practices while still allowing fair, transparent surprise sets that give buyers confidence in their purchases.
