Been an off and on again customer for a few years. Like what I see but sometimes items do not arrive. However, Tophatter makes it right which is something that rarely happens in business in these days and times.
It takes way too long to receive the merchandise. It appears that they want 100 words, how many things can you say about a small flashlight whose beam ends up with a grid when it is in pinpoint mode sort of doesn't make any sense.
Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey, Bud!

I've had most of my orders sent out very fast and a couple others that were shipped way before still haven't arrived. Some things come from China and some outsourced to local states. Overall good app. I enjoy it!
I have bid and won many very nice pieces of jewelry at reasonable prices from Tophatter for several years. Their service is great. If not satisfied or items come broken, no problem; your money will be quickly refunded. It is a win, win way to shop for yourself or gifts for others that won't break the bank.
Joined tophatter a few months ago. So far, I'm impressed. I've ordered about 30 items and of those, I was refunded for 1 because it wasnt what I expected and 1 still hasn't shipped to me since May. Other than that, its like Christmas getting packages delivered to my office! The items are decent. I mostly order "bling". Some have already become tarnished, but as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for"! But it's fun to bid on things and win them so cheap! Thanks for a fun website! And I always provide a 4 star rating or higher.
Thank you for your review, Jenny.

Love the beautiful jewelry. Have bid on many items and now wear rings, bracelets and necklaces that look very expensive. Friends are surprised when told what I paid, and the bidding is lots of fun. It takes a little time to get, but well worth the wait.
Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey, Carole!
It is fantastic to hear you have been pleased with your purchases and are having a great time bidding to win on Tophatter. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Have fun bidding!

So far most items are good and in good shape, some of the rings especially ones where you get more than one they seem to be rough, scratch or tear skin when wearing, otherwise have been satisfied with Tophatter

Tophatter is one of my favorite sites when I'm looking for unique items at a very good price. Their betting wars are exciting and thrilling once you find an item you really want and winning. I highly recommend this site to everyone.

Most sites cater to women and children... but TopHatter has great things for men as well. If i cant win through a bid on an item i just wait until it comes back on screen. So far ive had good experiences with product and service. Any question or problems i have are dealt with promptly.
Bought several items from Tophatter... cheapest most worthless bunch of baloney I've ever seen. Very deceptive descriptions. Don't waste your money on this junk. Looks like items found in a cracker jack box.

Now I personally really believe & think that you guy's should actually be monitoring your third party vendors a litter Mo bettarh. Because would've that help make a more smoother process especially when someone winning a bid in finding out it isn't what they seem or win recently with there products posted. Now with that being continue business as usual continue why making those sensible choices online congrats why win-win-win

Tophatter is a Marketplace that connects buyers with sellers (https://tophatter.com/terms). Because we aren't in physical possession of the seller's items, we rely on the sellers to provide accurate information about every item; however, listing misrepresented in any way, we offer excellent Buyer Protection https://tinyurl.com/yy6m335d to combat this.
As part of our quality assurance process, our system detects and applies substantial penalties to sellers with a higher than average return rate, and individual items exceeding the standard will no longer be scheduled on our platform.
If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, please request to return an item for up to 30 days from the date of delivery. A full refund of the original price paid will be processed upon return of the item in its original condition. To request a return, visit My Orders, click the item, then click Return Item. Please refer to our FAQ How do I request a return? Here: https://help.en.tophatter.com/article/65-return

I recommend Tophatter for getting some good deals, generally many types of auctions from which to choose. Individual shipping per item, even from the same vendor is why I did not give 5 stars. Otherwise, fun, rather recreational for a little bit to spend. Just received a wonderful quality ring.
You're really not getting a deal, the products are terribly inferior, cheap materials, poor workmanship. I ordered a couple of items and have never purchased again. I order online often but I no longer waste my money at Tophatter.
Hi Pam,

Many of the products I bought before Christmas have yet to arrive. The ones that did come, a good majority were trash. Poorly made, broken, ugly, or just cheap knock offs. The stuff that came on time and beautiful are what keep me coming back. But I can honestly say that I am getting more bad than good items. I'm disappointed. I loved Tophatter.
I love this site and find myself addicted to checking in to see if any good deals are going on! My only caution is be careful on your bids to make sure you read the fine print, esp. On electronics! I've made several purchases and short of one refurbished notebook, everything has been great, but Tophatter was easy to work with on the return!
I bid on an mac air notebook. Afterward I noticed the seller had only sold one other item... bunny slippers and that the item was shipping from overseas... immediately raised a red flag... i cancelled within the hour yet the seller did not respond until several days later... writing "sorry item had shipped already" What I received instead of the laptop was a cheap bracelet! Total scam... tophatter has been no help in this matter. I had to report this fraud to my credit card... its been 2 months and still unresolved! Read sellers reviews and be very careful. There are some good deals and some very bad ones!
I've bought numerous and different items on line, easy way to bid, keep you up to date with all transactions. Only 1 complaint is that if purchases on clothes are from China, human or for pets sizes are small.
Hi Elaine, thank you for writing your review. We're pleased to know you are enjoying the bidding experience on Tophatter.
My experience with Tophatter has been a great one. Great prices, exceptional merchandise and a fun way to spend my loose time. I bid $ won over 75 items on this website with only 1 questionable item issue; which Tophatter resolved in less than 24 hrs. Good Job Customer Service!
Hi Micki,
Thank you for the kind review. We’re happy your experience went smoothly and appreciate you being a key member of the community!
Customer service is our top priority and I am completely thrilled that service met your expectations!

I give top hatter 5 stars because it's fun, you can win all kinds of prizes and bid against real people, to see who will pay the most for something they want, it's a nice fun competition with it's own rewards, top hatter is just awesome there really isn't Any other way to describe it.

When things that are coming from China or other countries, there should be an English translation for instructions, and unfortunately the packaging is always damaged. However, my contents have always been intact. Sheets and bedding are great. Wish you carried more valuable items like TV's, computers, phones, gift cards. ECT. Wish I knew when bidding on clothes if they were coming from US or UK so I could select proper size. Site it easy to bid on or buy directly from. I do enjoy it.
Hi Candy,
Thank you for your review and feedback.
I'm sorry to hear some of the instructions have not been in your native language, and packaging has been damaged.
The only information we have from the seller about the item can be found in the item description which can be seen by clicking on the image of the item. If you require additional information on the product I suggest doing a Google or Youtube search, usually, that helps. If you can't find what you need, we have a generous return policy; if for any reason you're not completely satisfied, you can request to return an item for up to 30 days from the date of delivery. You can see full details on the return policy here https://tinyurl.com/yd75uc6e
Shoppers also have the option to rate their delivered items. Rating items is important because 1.) other buyers will be able to review the average rating on products before they bid, and 2.) items rated consistently low will automatically stop being scheduled on the platform. For these reasons we encourage you to rate the products you have purchased, although doing so is not required.
We are always looking for sellers that offer a variety of items to expand the products available on Tophatter. I hope you'll continue to check out the items on Tophatter as we bring in exciting new supply over the coming months.
In terms of the sizing of items here is a size conversion chart https://tinyurl.com/ya99eeal. Additionally, I recommend reading any reviews that may have been left for the items, typically other buyers will mention if the sizing runs small or large and of course if you're not happy with the item it can be returned up to 30 days of the delivery day.
Kind Regards,
Angelique
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.
