Today we’re launching the Whatnot Trust Center, one place to learn about our work on trust and what we’re doing to keep Whatnot the best place to buy and sell.

At Whatnot, we’re always working hard to keep the platform a fun and trustworthy place. So today, we want to provide you with an update on how we’re tackling scams on Whatnot: detecting bad actors more quickly, shutting down their accounts, and preventing them from coming back.

While Whatnot was built to create a safe, welcoming space for people to share their passions with others, a few years ago we recognized that the Sports Card community presented unique trust and safety challenges that needed solving.

Whatnot is one of the fastest-growing marketplaces in the world, and with that growth comes increased responsibility to ensure safety at every stage of the buying and selling experience.

The Whatnot Trust & Safety team plays a critical role in identifying issues and enforcing policies to help keep our community safe. Today, we’ll dig a bit deeper into how we evaluate, investigate, and take action on cases involving fraud, behavioral or logistical issues.
