Still unsure about site. Product info is very little with no seller info or a way to dispute the sell. My last experience has been OK. But its a long wait time for deliveries and hard to track.

I won about 10 bids at the beginning of April.
Paid, still tracking packages almost 2 months later. No updates. Very difficult to contact.
The kicker? The Seller's name is HONEST BUSINESS MAN... that right there? Should have been my clue not to trust them.
KEEP YOUR MONEY! DO NOT GET TAKEN FOR A RIDE LIKE ME!

UPDATE: EVEN AFTER SPEAKING TO TOPHATTER, THEY REFUSE TO REFUND ANYMONEY! THIS COMPANY IS ALSO BEING SUED! DO NOT USE THIS APP THEY WILL ROB YOU AND THEN GIVE YOU BULL$#*!

I have 23 packages missing that have NOT shipped and yet on some of them they are over a month old with no shipment! When I messaged tophatter about this I gave all 23 order numbers... TopHatter gave a bull$#*! excuse of you need to wait 60 days before we can do anything. WHAT THE $#*!!? IF AN ORDER HASNT ARRIVED WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO, YOU REFUND THE CUSTOMER THEIR MONEY TOPHATTER, YOU DO NOT GIVE BULL$#*! REASONS AS TO WHY YOU ARE A THIEF! TOPHATTER HAS COST ME 10 CLIENTS ALREADY AND IF THEY DO NOT REFUND MY MONEY MY LAWYERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AND ARE WAITING WITH BAITED TEETH TO SUE THE HELL OUT OF THIS CRAPPY COMPANY! DO NOT USE THIS APP EVER! USE WISH THEY ARE MUCH BETTER! Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* Order #******* THESE ARE ONLY SOME OF THE ORDERS TOPHATTER WONT CANCEL EVEN THOUGH HALF OF THEM ARE ONLY NOW JUST BEING TAKEN CARE OF.

I was enjoying Tophatter till I started waiting... waiting and still waiting for my stuff. I have bought over 100 dollars worth of stuff... The very first thing I ordered was weeks ago. When I receive all my items I will not be returning to Tophatter.

Ok i will still be buying and trying to found great deals as birthday and and x mas is coming around
Products don't live up to their description. Some don't even look like the picture. Some things are as shown and are nice. Overall just remember you get what you pay for.

Tophatter makes sure that you get your products on time if not earlier than expected... I am usually very happy with everything I have gotten so far from them... Things that were too small I gave to my granddaughter for play things...,. But all in all I loved everything I got from you...
This site is better than other auction sites. From what I can tell, there's nothing that makes me think that there are "bots" upbidding you so that's nice! My only complaint is items from overseas are taking forever to ship! Items from here come A LOT faster!
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.
