If you can’t find what you need in the Help Center, here’s how to get support:

If there’s a problem with your order, like something missing, damaged, or not as described, request support from your order details page. 

Get help in the app:

  1. From the Whatnot app, tap Activity. 
  2. Go to Purchases. 
  3. Tap the order. 
  4. Tap Get help with this purchase.

  3. Click the order. 
  4. Scroll down and select Get help with this purchase. 
  5. Choose the option that best matches your issue. 

Tip: Include photos or screenshots if you can. Details up front can help resolve things faster.

After you submit a request 

  • We’ll review your request as quickly as possible.

  • In some cases, the seller may respond directly if they have access to Seller Provided Support.

  • If more help is needed, Whatnot Support may step in. 

  • You’ll get updates in the app when working directly with the seller, or by email if Whatnot is helping.

Refunds and Buyer Protection timelines 

To request a refund, follow the same “Get help with this purchase” steps above.

To stay eligible under Buyer Protection, submit your request by the earlier of:

  • 30 days from purchase, or

  • 14 days from delivery

Some categories have shorter timelines:

  • Coins & Money, Sports Cards, Sneakers & Streetwear, Trading Card Games, Luxury Goods: 7 days from delivery or 30 days from purchase (whichever comes first)

  • Plants: 2 days from delivery or 30 days from purchase (whichever comes first)
