For Whatnot live-show sellers

The audit trail your Whatnot show should have had from day one.

Built for sports card and Pokémon breakers. Every bid, buyer, and chat message from your live shows — captured automatically, so when Whatnot bans you and holds your funds, you have evidence to fight back.

Free during beta. The first 200 sellers lock in $19/mo for life (regular price will be $39/mo).

The problem

Whatnot can ban you any time. Their appeal form is 500 characters.

Bans trigger automatically — chargebacks, referral-abuse flags, authenticity flags, sales surges. There's no human review on appeal. By the time you're trying to recover funds, your evidence is already gone.

Banned. $50,000 frozen. No appeal.

Whatnot permanently banned my account and froze all my funds, alleging ‘fraudulent activity.’ The ban made it impossible for me to access my account to ship the final 80 orders. Whatnot is now wrongfully withholding approximately $50,000 USD.

JustAnswer · Sept 2025

“Final and non-appellable.”

Whatnot rejected my appeal claiming ‘fraudulent activity’ and stating it would permanently withhold all funds, calling this a ‘final and non-appellable decision.’ Whatnot is my sole source of income.

BBB complaint · 2025

Carrier breaks the box. You lose the funds.

Despite the damage occurring during shipping and not due to any action by the seller, Whatnot proceeded to ban both the buyer and the seller. They’ve withheld $11,966 in seller proceeds that were legitimately earned. These funds are unrelated to any wrongdoing.

BBB complaint · March 2026

547 of 859 BBB complaints against Whatnot are flagged “Failure to respond.” The pattern is consistent enough that it's the single hottest pain point across every source we sampled.

How it works

Set it once. Captures every show after that — automatically.

  1. Install the Chrome extension

    Two clicks. Works alongside Whatnot — read-only access, never posts on your behalf, never touches your account.

  2. Run your show as normal

    ShowProof watches every auction in the background. The moment a sale lands, it captures the item, winning bidder, timestamp, chat context, and a screenshot of the show.

  3. Build your audit trail automatically

    Every show writes to a local audit log on your machine. Searchable, exportable, timestamped to the second. Nothing leaves your computer unless you choose to share it.

  4. Export evidence-grade defense packs

    When a chargeback or ban hits, generate a PDF with all the receipts: chat transcripts, sale records, screenshots, buyer history. The kind of evidence appeal forms can’t ignore.

Features

One extension. The receipts you wish you’d had.

  • Auto-capture every sale

    Detects the winning-bid moment automatically. No buttons to remember during a 4-hour show.

  • Screenshot proof

    Captures a timestamped screenshot of the show at the exact moment of sale. Visual evidence, not just text.

  • Full chat transcripts

    Every message during the auction window — buyer questions, your answers, the moments that mattered.

  • Buyer history

    Per-buyer purchase log: every sale they’ve won from you, when, for how much.

  • Evidence-grade exports

    Generate PDF defense packs ready to submit to Whatnot, your bank, or your lawyer.

  • Searchable audit log

    Find any sale by date, buyer, item, or price. Across every show you’ve ever run.

  • Timestamped to the second

    Every event logged with millisecond precision. Disputes get resolved on timestamps.

  • Read-only by design

    We never bid, never post, never message. Whatnot’s ToS-compliant in posture and code.

  • Local-first storage

    Your data lives on your machine. No cloud uploads unless you turn them on.

  • Your data, your control

    Export anytime. Delete anytime. We don’t sell or share. We don’t even have your data.

  • Repeat-buyer detection

    Spot your VIPs at a glance. See lifetime spend per buyer, instantly.

  • JSON + CSV export

    Take your data anywhere. Bookkeeping, accounting, custom dashboards — it’s all yours.
