Auction manipulation — Shill accounts inflate final prices on high-value case breaks. The tell: final bid always comes from a new account with 0 feedback.
Whatnot-exclusive shipping delays — Some sellers run multiple platforms simultaneously and prioritize one over others. Read reviews that specifically mention Whatnot shipping timelines.
Break format abuse — 'Personal break' vs 'random team break' disputes are the most common category on Whatnot. The seller changes the format mid-stream after spots fill. Screenshot the listing.
Fake giveaway bait — Sellers inflate their live audience with giveaway promises, then cancel the giveaway after spot sales close. Now BreakCheck can verify whether a seller has a pattern of this.
Phantom Certified badges — Some sellers display a BreakCheck Certified logo without actually having an active certification. Always verify at `/certified/:certId` — every real badge has a public page.
