Question 5

What is 'Coming soon' and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

With the 'Coming soon' view we preview items in our product overview that will be online soon. This way we provide everyone the opportunity to keep an eye on new items coming in and not miss a top deal. When an item has the label 'Coming soon' (indicated in blue), it is therefore not yet possible to bid, buy or chat. However, buyers can already set an alert to stay informed of when the ad goes live. You will receive an email as soon as the item is online. You can then bid directly on the item or buy it for the asking price with the 'Buy now' button.

This is clearly stated at the checkout.

Question 7

How does the Whoppah buyer protection work?

Accepted Answer

At Whoppah, we believe it is important that you, the buyer, can make safe and protected purchases. That's why we offer the Whoppah buyer protection when you pay through our platform. Buyer Protection is 4% (with a minimum amount of 10 euros) of the total sales amount and is automatically added to the subtotal. Buyer protection is not mandatory and you can optionally disable it during checkout. Buyer protection consists of:
Money Back GuaranteeIf the actual item differs from the description in the ad, you will get your money back. Defects include: different color, missing parts of signs of use that are not reported in the advertisement.
Mediation HelpIf there is deception in the ad, you can negotiate with the seller for a discount. We help mediate between you and the seller.Return GuaranteeDo you not like the item and do you want to return it? Which can. You can return to Whoppah instead of the seller within 14 days (from the time of delivery). Please note: in this case the return costs including the delivery costs are for the account of the buyer. In this case, you will receive the purchase amount minus delivery costs and return costs.
 
Not arrived items by mailbox or packageIf the package has been shipped according to the shipping instructions, then the buyer and seller can both track the package. If the status of the order is according to the track &amp; trace as 'Received', but you have not yet received the item, Whoppah will refund the money. The seller is responsible for damage suffered through the transport service. 
Good to know: the money-back guarantee also applies for purchases without buyer protection. Read all about it in our terms of use.Quality control by Whoppah courierIf pick-up by the Whoppah courier has been chosen, the courier will perform an additional quality check when collecting the item from the seller. The courier checks the condition of the item with the information in the ad. In addition, the courier takes 5 photos of the item when the item gets picked up by the Whoppah courier. If anything is discovered that is not visible in the photos, the burden of proof lies with the buyer.

Question 8

How does bidding work?

Accepted Answer

As a seller, you determine the minimum amount you want for your item. Do you get an offer? Then you can accept it by clicking on the green check mark. If you want to reject a bid, click on the red cross. You make a counter-offer by stating an amount in the 'Counter-bid' window. As soon as you accept an offer as a seller, there is a deal. You just sold your item!

Question 9

How do I know if what I'm buying is really as stated?

Accepted Answer

Our curators check whether an advertisement meets our standards. We also check for authenticity. Unfortunately, we cannot 100% guarantee that what you buy will always be exactly as advertised. If you use our courier service, the courier will check whether the item corresponds to the advertisement during collection from the buyer. It is always recommended to do your own research into the authenticity of an item. In any case, we promise that you will get your money back if the item is not original or differs substantially from the way it was presented upon collection or delivery.

Good' means the item is in good condition, but shows signs of use. 'Very good' means the item may show signs of use, but these are not noticeable.
