Hi there! I understand your auction items on Whatnot are showing as "unavailable" to buyers, which can be confusing. To get started, can you tell me if this happens on all your auction items or just specific ones? Also, are these items part of a live show or listed outside a show?
Meanwhile, here are some common steps that often resolve this:
1. Check Auction Status: Make sure your auction is actually started or live. Sometimes, if the auction hasn't begun yet or wasn’t properly started, items will appear unavailable to buyers.
2. Verify Item Listing: Confirm that the items are correctly listed in your inventory and attached to the auction or show. If an item is deleted or incorrectly linked, it won’t be visible or available for bidding.
3. Inventory Sync: If you use any inventory management tools, verify that the sync is working properly with Whatnot.
4. Item Condition & Description: Ensure your items are fully described and meet the community guidelines, as items missing required info might be hidden.
5. App Updates & Cache: On your Windows device using WebKit, clear your browser cache and cookies or try using Whatnot in Incognito mode or another browser to see if it’s a display issue.
6. Network or Account Issues: Sometimes, sellers face account-related issues or server glitches that temporarily cause unavailability.
If you’ve already tried any of these, please let me know which ones, and I can guide you through more advanced troubleshooting. Also, if this issue started suddenly or affects all your auctions, it might be worth checking for any platform-wide announcements or contacting Whatnot support directly.
Would you like me to walk you through detailed steps to check the auction setup on your device?
