Whatnot must of got a boss call from the Pokemon Company.

Great policy overall though!

Hi there,  We're reaching out because you've sold an item in the Australian or Japanese TCG category within the last three months. We’re testing a new policy and want to ensure you’re aware of the upcoming requirements.  Starting August 20, 2026, we’re testing a policy designed to support fair access to inventory in Whatnot’s Australian and Japanese TCG categories. Under this policy, all TCG in Australia and Japan must be sold on or after the relevant product’s official release date (or official pre-release date, where applicable).  During the test, Australian and Japanese sellers who sell TCG before its official release date may be subject to account penalties, including billbacks, suspensions, and account removal. This policy is designed to create a fair, trustworthy experience for both buyers and sellers, helping support continued growth for sellers on Whatnot We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Thanks for being a part of the Whatnot community! – Whatnot
