The company has garnered a mixed reputation among customers, with notable strengths in its engaging auction format and a diverse range of products that some users find enjoyable and affordable. Many appreciate the responsive customer service, which has been effective in addressing issues and facilitating refunds.

Additionally, customers have reported frustrations with order cancellations and difficulties in the returns process. Overall, while the platform offers a fun shopping experience, it must improve product reliability and support to enhance customer satisfaction.

Really like the jewelry but some of the items not so good. Most of the things didn't come with instructions. Some things needed a better description of what they are made of. It's fun shopping but really need to pay better attention to like I said what it is made of, and it may take a really long time to get the item.
The costumer service is phenomenal. I will recommend it to anyone most of the items are wonderful.

It's an great experience to go thru the bids and specially to win it. I feel that Tophatter is doing a great job as well as there customer service, But have to say that once you win a bid you should receive it. Not to say that the seller is out of stock and still keeping the item in the bidding site. I would thing that you should comunícate if there is a problem with the item immediately and not wait.
I wish you guys can fix this and keep up the great job.
Thank you for your service
Greetings Norma,
Thank you for taking the time to write your review.
I'm thrilled to know your overall experience has been a great one and that our dedicated support team left an impression.
I'm terribly sorry to hear the seller failed to honor your sale. This is definitely against Tophatter seller guidelines. When a buyer is refunded without prior consent the seller is automatically penalized, so this won't go unnoticed. Again, my apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.
We look forward to continuing to provide first-class service and quality products at competitive pricing.
Warm regards,
Felicia
Such a bait-and-switch scam! I understood it was cheap crap from China, but BE CAREFUL! Advertised pictures do not match the product you actually get. If the picture shows a wonderful playset, like a parking garage and toy cars, you think you get the whole thing, but in reality, you get a few plastic toy cars. READ THE DESCRIPTIONS THOROUGHLY before wasting your money!
My first orders have finally arrived and nothing is as advertised. I bought a handheld game which was supposed to have a port for connecting a controller. No port and the screen is way smaller than in the picture. I also got some toy vehicles. The picture shows a trailer with smaller vehicles. What I got was 4 small plastic cars.
Sellers on Tophatter are scamming people, Tophatter knows it, and they let it happen! The item reviews on the site are fake, the pictures are deceiving. I have seen people paying $24 for an 8 and half inch (22 cm = 8.67 in) plastic robot toy because the picture shows the robot next to a toddler and the robot is taller! SCAMMERS!
Getting refunded is not the point, putting people through the disappointment and hassle is wrong and it should not be allowed! Things are so cheap, it is not worth spending the money to return anything and that's the scam! Hundreds of people get ripped off every day, while Tophatter is laughing all the way to the bank!
Great. Fast SERVICE Well recommended... Great items at a fantastic price! If you do get an item you are not satisfied you suppose to be able to return it so that's great commitment...
Great app great prices great products you bid and you win its that simple and winning is awesome

I have over 50 different things that I have bought from Tophatter in the last three months and haven't received any one of them. All they do is give you credit to buy more and the cycle goes on. I would like to have a refund to my paypal account. I am all done with Tophatter the can't be trusted.
You get wha you pay for is all I can say. When things appear to cheap to be true they probably are
I like bidding but most of the time when I receive an utem its very poor quality.
Cheap $#*! that you can't sell anywhere else and half of the time the order doesn't even ship... And sometimes even just get refunded because they don't ship what you thought you did want to buy
It was fun at first but when the sellers show misleading photos or u get refunded a product u really wanted without ur knowledge it really gets disappointing. Top hatter has potential. However they really need to check some of their sellers.
I've ordered several items which are taking an incredible amount of time to get to me. Out of about 10 purchases I've gotten 5 since September out of the 5 only one was acceptable. I'm worried about getting there rest of my items. I'm disabled and cant run to the post office to constantly return. Thankfully I didn't have to return just trash the ones that weren't good. Im hoping you hold your sellets to a higher standard. Things are not as advertised..
The site is easy to use and has some really great items. Most items received on time or early some running late but expect that with the covid issues. Refunds are issued immediately on a wrong item that was sent and I love the wheel to earn money so I can buy more
Shipping Takes way too long when they give you a tracking number and you try to track it it's in Chinese
So so! I feel that when I want to refund due to different reasons y'all only give a few options y'all don't give other so we can put in different reasons already ordered one didn't realize it y'all don't have those options y'all need to put other for the options of returns that would be more helpful. Plus more understanding

I have some things that need to come. Some late or not ahowing eny movement. Two a jacket and nail set.
Answer: There is also the FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION that can help with these types of problems
Answer: You have to read the descriptions. It will tell you if it's real or plated.
Answer: Do not deal with this company,,, all jewelery is crap n cheap
Answer: Tophatter will screw you over. Shop Amazon or overstock.
Answer: Good luck! Tophatter rippes off the sellers so they are not going to be very likely to return your money.
Answer: Justin you are absolutely correct. I find out the hard way. I had my own auction with nice AUTHENTIC designer items and cosmetics (Becca, Cargo, Smahbox, Too Faced, etc). I lost big time. $40 Cargo palette sold for $10; it cost me $15. Items that I started higher to cover my cost never sold. I still had to pay fees for the item being listed. A $200 Calvin Klein purse sold for $20; it cost me $80 wholesale. Run!
Answer: If you end up buying a few items from the same seller they can do a combined shipment but you rarely get the same buyer items since they only let the sellers sell 10 items a day. It is different for the sellers that have their own auctions.
Answer: You will notice the same names no matter the day, time etc. Bidding against you very often. Is it a coincidence? Personally I don't believe in coincidences.
Answer: Depends on what you are selling. Yes, a lot of items go unsold in the jewelry and accessories categories... as well as others. Coach and Michael Kors and other designer brands, not much goes unsold, because here's the catch - - you pay fees on the starting bid. TH wants everything to start at $1. So you get punished if you start higher as to not get screwed by a low purchase price. Say you buy a designer bag for $120. If you start that bag at $100, you're already paying over $10 in fees. **IF** you can manage to sell it for a profit, there are still the commission and bank fees. If you start it at $1, you're barely paying any listing fees but it might only sell for $80 (or less!). So, less fees, but you lost your ass on the item. It's messed up. Most sellers have put in their time to see if they can make a profit or to see if TH will change, but they all seem to end up leaving. I'm convinced the only ones who stay to sell there are the counterfeit or crappy quality sellers who are buying items for next to nothing, because that seems to be the only way to make a profit there these days. I would go the ebay route if you're looking to sell.
Answer: Yes! Sale of counterfeit items is prohibited. If you are concerned about the authenticity of an item purchased on the platform, you may return it for up to 30 days from delivery. See full details on our return policy here: http://tinyurl.com/h7xokwj.
