## What is TipTop?

Buying stuff is easy. Selling it is not. But maybe there is a world where selling things is just as fun and simple as buying them??

TipTop finds the things you own from your past purchases where you have email receipts and magically creates instant cash offers for you. Ready to part ways with something you no longer need? Redeem your instant cash offer and get paid in minutes. We even send someone to pick the item up. No need to package it.

We’re focused on electronic devices first, so you will likely see most cash offers if you have bought any electronics over the last few years and we can find your receipt. But we’re expanding our catalog all the time.

The idea behind TipTop is to make owning things more fun and to let them move in and out of your life with a simple TipTop tap.

### 5/5 — Blissful experience

*2024-03-15*

I am impressed with the ease of use and efficiency. I can list and sell all the items I bought within seconds. Highly recommend for anyone looking to trade-in or sell used items without any fuss!

### 5/5 — So easy to sell my old Sonos

*2024-02-10*

I signed up and in 15 min a courier came by my house to pick up my old speakers that were collecting dust. I didn’t need to package it up or negotiate. Amazing! I’m going sell my kids old iPads next.

### 3/5 — Can’t delete account without connecting Google

*2024-02-03*

I tried this out after listening to MP on The Talk Show. I didn’t realize this was a gmail harvester, and the app won’t let you do anything until you link your gmail — including deleting your account. So now this company has my name and phone number and there is no way to delete it. I really love the idea of this app, but please rethink requiring users to link their gmail. Your intent may be to only scan for receipts, but  companies get hacked all the time.

### 3/5 — Don’t have everything figured out (Updated)

*2024-01-30*

I put something in and it’s been in transit for almost a week. I have nothing to show for it, no contact info, etc etc. Just the tracking number. The Uber driver who picked it up didn’t know how it worked either. Oh well.

Update: customer service has been super proactive and the situation has resolved. It took a few days but they’ve been super involved and helpful. I moved the rating up just based on that and how they’ve resolved the outcome. I appreciate that.

**Developer response:** Glad you had a positive customer service experience and thank you for updating your review! We have improved the order tracking recently in app and you now receive an email with your FedEx tracking number now. Thank you for your feedback, we hope your next sale is smoother for you!

### 5/5 — Really Beautiful Design

*2024-01-08*

I just love the look and feel of this app. Aside from being able to sell my old iPad effortlessly, I enjoy looking at their images.

### 5/5 — New customer

*2023-11-26*

First time trying this and the payout truly is instant! Sometimes it takes a few hours but you definitely get paid. The customer service is quick to respond. Love it

### 5/5 — Easy money

*2023-11-22*

Super fast way to get cash for devices you no longer use

### 2/5 — Tracking numbers sometimes incorrect

*2023-11-21*

I traded in an old pixel 7 and when I click to track the phone it shows an incorrect tracking number. There’s no way to call customer support and I’m not sure if it will correctly track my shipment. Kinda stressful there’s no way to contact them.

### 1/5 — Fake app

*2023-11-13*

I saw an advertisement for this app on CNBC so I figured it was trustworthy, however I sent in an iPhone 12 Pro Max for a $500 payout just to have my account surprisingly banned 4 days after them receiving it. The phone was in perfect shape, unlocked, and wiped. They now have my phone I got no money and my accounts banned. The app is a scam. Don't trust it. Got to figure out how to fix this mess now. May need lawyers or BBB but out of principle I have to figure out how to fix it so others don't get scammed as well.

### 1/5 — Sell your Gmail inbox to use.

*2023-11-03*

Just to be super clear up front: this app can only be used if you give it full access to scan and harvest data from your entire Gmail inbox. It’s an interesting idea if you have complete trust access won’t be misused, but is kind of a huge caveat.

If you’re cool with it, as they’re launching the app, looks like you have a limited window for better than market average trades in values so 🤷‍♂️?

Update: after leaving this review, a company representative went into their user DB to find my personal number and text me about it. Again, I am making no judgments about the privacy tradeoffs here but that’s also a big yikes.
