I love Tophatter! They have great variety and there always seems to be plenty of item s that I' interested in. There was only one time that I did not get my item and I mentioned it when I received the request for rating. And they made good on it immediately. Good going!
I love when people ask where did you get that? Then I get to introduce them to the site if they have not heard of it!
We are happy to hear such great feedback, Cozetta! Thank you so much for your review.
Please keep on spreading the good words!

I received my products earlier than expected
I had to get a magnifying glass for instructions and the compatibility to certain other electronics was not made clear in the advertisement.
Hi Juan,
Thank you for your review.
I'm glad to hear delivery time exceeded your expectations.
Sorry to hear the instructions for your item was challenging to see. Unfortunately, only the details provided by the seller in the item description is available. If for some reason you experience issues with instructions I recommend doing a Google search to see if you can find additional information on the product that may be useful.
Additionally, it's helpful if you rate 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.
In terms of the item description being unclear please know Tophatter is a Marketplace that connects buyers with sellers (https://tophatter.com/terms), and we rely on sellers to provide accurate information about every item; however, if you discover a listing has been misrepresented in any way, we offer excellent Buyer Protection (https :// tophatter. Com/topics/Buying/subtopics/Buyer%20Issues/questions/Is%20there%20Buyer%20Protection%3F) As part of our quality assurance process, our system detects and applies strong penalties to sellers with higher than average return rate, and individual items exceeding the rate will no longer be scheduled on our platform.
We appreciate you shopping on Tophatter and look forward to continuing to provide a variety of quality products at bargain pricing.
Happy Bidding,

I have found wonderful items on here that I would never have found in a million years. Ive seen items and have had the opportunity to bid on them. I have given them as really unique gifts and am usually asked where I got it. I always tell them about the site.
We are delighted to have you as a valued member of the community, Linda! Thank you for writing your review.

Some of the items are cheaply made and come only with Chinese writing. Read descriptions carefully or you may not get what you think you are. I wish there was more American made items. I have received beautiful rings, coins, sheets and collectible paper money.
Hi Hazel,
I truly appreciate you taking the time out to leave a review. Thank you for taking time out of your personal time to do so.
We definitely urge shoppers to read the item description so I'm glad to hear you do just that.
We hope every shopper will be delighted with every purchase, but understand that not everything can be perfect. 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. 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.
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 look forward to continuing to provide a variety of quality products at bargain pricing.

Everything is A one class. Not broken always the right item. The items are always good quality. I really enjoy getting the box N opening it, because I often buy different items at the same time. It's always a great surprise!

My daughter turned me on to shopping with Tophatter and I have turned my brother- in-law on to using Tophatter. I simply love the idea of endless opportunities to see and purchase items that I probably would not see during my usual shopping excursions at a store. I have been pleased with nearly everything Ive purchased and Im always excited about opening each package. As a matter of fact, even my two year old granddaughter eagerly says, lets open and see whats inside. Though I have yet to return an item, I appreciate the ease of the opportunity to do so and your quick response time in answering questions, as well as troubleshooting lost in transit purchases. I often have others in mind when I purchase some items and this has brought smiles and delight to the faces of those individuals. I must remember to thank and reward my mail person who Im sure at times, gets a little overwhelmed with my many purchases.
Hi JoAnna,
Thank you for your review. It is fantastic to hear you enjoy Tophatter and have been pleased with the help and response time from our support team.

I ordered an Aduro dash cam, it was used, really looked dilapidated. But the iPad got was pretty good; dented but works real well. Battery tester was also good.
Here's why I gave just three stars:
1) Not much selection.
2) They apparently do not check the quality of the merchandise sellers sell.
This site is definitely worth visiting occasionally, but that's about it.
Customer service is pretty good.
Thank you for your review, David, it's very much appreciated.

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.
