Its a scam, it took me a total of 6 bad sellers before I realized that TH admin does little to keep them off... I had absolute proof that paypal had to force a refund from a seller who did not send an item and tophatter kicked her off until she presented a FAKE paypal receipt that lacked transaction numbers saying SHE, not paypal, refunded my money... They allowed her back on and ignored me when I asked why they accepted a FAKE paypal receipt she made up with no transaction ID over the one I had from paypal with a transaction ID they could verify. This gave me the impression that was the reason I ended up with 6 bad sellers on the site. Hmmm... I wonder if the "JEN" person below singing their praise is the same "Jen" who is the tophatter cheerleader who had earned special favor from the tophatter website for attempting to hide the ugly truth of the site's practices? Do yourself a favor, stay away from this site... Further incident of their unethical practices? THere was another auction website that started to steal away TH customers. Somehow, a alternate spelling of this website address took a person directly to tophatter. The website was under a proxy but curiously it was set up with the same type of provider as tophatter (forgive me I cannot remember the exact term for this)... of course TH denied but when the similarities were pointed out on the TH forum, mysteriously and suddenly the mispelled website got changed to link back to the original website instead of TH... coincidence or just another example of TH's 'methods'... then, of course, there was tophatters attempt to have direct access to everyone's paypal account in the threat they put forth "Do it or you can't sell here"... Now, given these tactics and methods... do you really want to TRUST TH with any access to your money?
