Sellers are responsible for complying with all applicable laws related to their sales location. Any shipments from APO/FPO addresses must comply with all applicable laws, requirements, and shipping restrictions.
It is strictly prohibited to access, use, or interact with Whatnot if you are located in or normally reside in: Cuba; Iran; North Korea; Syria; or the Crimea, Donetsk People’s Republic, or Luhansk People’s Republic regions of Ukraine.
Can I connect a bank account based in any country?
No, the location and currency of the bank account you link must match your Whatnot account registration, and a mismatch may lead to payment failures. So, if you registered your Whatnot account in the U.S., you can only connect a U.S. bank account and use USD. If you registered your Whatnot account in the EU, you may link a bank account from anywhere in the EU that uses EUR.
Can I go live while traveling?
You can go live while traveling within the country you've been approved to sell in. Going live and selling items while outside the country you have been approved for can cause taxation and regulatory issues.
Can I sell from multiple countries?
Yes, you can sell from more than one country. But, if you want to start selling from a different country, you'll need to make a new Whatnot account and sign up from the country you plan to sell in.
