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.

We’re just at the beginning of the next chapter for online shopping, and the next chapter for Whatnot too. As we look ahead, I’d like to take a moment to reflect and thank you for the incredible journey over the past year, and give you an update on our key priorities: helping you grow your business and succeed, continuing to expand to new categories and communities to bring more people to Whatnot, and building products and craft policies to ensure a trustworthy buying experience for everyone.

Whatnot’s Head of Sports, Eric Shemtov, recently sat down with Sports Card Live’s Jeremy Lee.

With the Trust & Safety Metrics tab, sellers can now see their order fulfillment stats in real-time to make sure their shipment times, fulfillment rates, and cancellation rates aren’t negatively affecting their business.

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.

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.

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.
