I understand the premise, I think maybe my question was not clear.
So early in the progression and with less views, I would be insane to think that there would be T206 Cobbs or Goudey Ruths. My assumption would be that it would be a fairly decent option for those selling 150 dollar or less cards that often take great losses with the piling on of fees or sitting for months in BIN limbo. If the base grows, someone could easily create a real time PWCC model that could be hobby changing. What I was wondering was if anyone has attempted this and found any success? I feel that as a seller completely eliminating the aspect of nonpayer's would be comforting and a perception of better seller protection. Also, the follow-up was if anyone knew someone or is currently using it, I would be tempted to watch the auction feed and support those attempting new options. As it is real-time it sounds a bit fun. I fully believe that fees, tax changes, NPBs, and a general seeming disdain for their sellers is killing eBay like a cancer. I use only auction houses for selling for ease of paperwork and the slow shrink of available product is visible on eBay. The expectation in my mind is this will continue. As of now eBay is becoming the Facebook of marketplaces, full of only older users like myself that are slow adopters of new tech. It is 5 years at the current pace of becoming Myspace.

Whatnot charges fees and taxes as well. I pay tax on every buy. There are people on Whatnot selling vintage items now. There are a few pre-war shows but it’s mostly 50s to 80s singles and not really anything high value. I haven’t seen a Cobb or Ruth on there or even like a 53 Topps Mantle or cards of that stature.
It’s geared towards modern. It would take a heavy migrating audience to change that. I don’t think it would happen organically.

I played with it for like 10 minutes and removed the app. For the type of buying I typically do, it isn't the right venue for me. It strikes me as all about many small transactions and wants constant user engagement. Not all that different than say Fan Duels, or other app driven platforms.
I can see the appeal, just not my bag. Anyone here using Mercari? It doesn't seem like it has picked up as much traction as I thought it might.

There's good AND bad at whatnot. I am writing a column on each side of the coin. I find there is very little of interest there for my PC
