How long does it take for my item to be curated?

Our curation team receives hundreds of items for review daily. We aim to assess your item within 2 business days. For art listings, the processing time may extend to 5 business days. You will be notified about this via email.

1. Good quality photos. Buyers need to get a complete view of the item. Make sure the item is clearly lit and photographed from all sides.

2. Product details. Provide as detailed a description of the item as possible. Mention, for example, the origin, the condition of the item and details.

3. Condition. At Whoppah we love transparency. Select the condition of the item and let us know which traces of use are present. Don't forget to take a picture of this too!

4. Brand / Designer. Let us know where the item comes from. What is the brand or who is the designer/producer? If you don't know this, please state in the description which store the item comes from or clearly describe the story behind it.

5. Age and history of the item. We would like to know when the item was produced and/or how long you have owned it. Of course, each item has its own unique story to tell, and a future buyer always likes to read this.

6. Asking price. Fill in the asking price. This can be difficult to determine, but keep in mind the brand, condition, age and exclusivity of the item as a guideline.

When uploading an ad, photos of branding details must be uploaded as proof. Our curators are design specialists and may be able to request more details about the item to determine the item's authenticity.

On Whoppah, sellers decide the asking price and whether or not to bid on an item. When you set your asking price, take into account a difference in new price of 50% to 70%. Also take into account the condition of the item. Want to compare? Look around on Whoppah for comparable items that are for sale and/or have been sold.

We use the following guidelines when curating an artwork:
1. It is a modern work of art and fits Whoppah's design signature
2. The artist is registered at the RKD or has finished art school (less than 5 years ago).
3. The artist is self-taught and...
- Has exhibited at renowned venues;
- is represented;
- has a website or social media with a clear timeline in terms of professional development.

No, on Whoppah you will also find vintage items without a brand name, but which belong to a certain era or to a certain style. Think of mid century modern items or hollywood regency design.

An ad can be rejected if the item does not meet our curation rules or if your ad is not filled in completely or correctly. In the latter case, we will contact you and ask you to fill in or amend your details.

In addition to the curation rules, we look at the following:

1. Photos.
