Whatnot updated its EU/UK Terms of Service on June 2, 2026, extending the maximum payment withholding period for sellers who violate the terms from 30 days to 60 days. The updated language states Whatnot may withhold payments to non-compliant sellers for up to 60 days or until the violation is remedied, whichever occurs first. This change affects how quickly sellers can expect access to funds when disputes arise.
Sellers: When Whatnot takes action against a seller for violating the rules, Whatnot can now hold the seller's payment for up to twice as long as before.
The updated terms extend the maximum period Whatnot may withhold seller payments from 30 days to 60 days when a seller violates the platform rules. This applies only when Whatnot takes action against sellers for non-compliance; payment withholding is not automatic and requires a violation to trigger the enforcement action. The revised language grants Whatnot authority to delay seller payouts for double the prior period while investigating or remedying violations.
