I havent been disappointed in the items I received. Some I like better than others but thats normal. For the prices you really cant beat it. Bidding is so much fun! I love it!
Great place to shop! Bidding is a good way to get items at super prices, but if bidding is not your thing you can always browse sellers sites and use the buy now option. Overall I give them 5 stars
Thanks! You’re awesome for thinking of us and leaving a review, we appreciate you, Melly.
I’m glad you're happy with your purchases. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoy shopping on Tophatter.
Thank you for being a valued customer.
Have a great time shopping!

I've enjoyed setting at my PC and watching for great items to come to bid on. Not all for me but I've brought quite a bit. My wife says its my new favorite site to stare at. Truth be told some items are not GREAT but I've found those few Diamonds in the rough that I love when I receive at mailbox. Items will only get better if more people come to site and take look and try it out. The most you could really lose is buck or two because I've yet to find item that didn't work. So give it a try maybe you will like it. It is fun to bid with no charges if you lose, you only pay when you win a item BID.

This site is full of a great many items at reasonable prices, shipping is too expensive. And sometimes an item might be presented to be something not what it is in actuality.
Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey, Holly!
I am sorry that the shipping cost did not meet expectations. Shipping prices are specified by the Seller as only the Seller can account for all their costs in sending an item. The shipping costs are displayed prior to bidding.
Kindly note that Tophatter has strict guidelines which require sellers to accurately represent their items for sale. Our product review team has reached out to a few sellers who had misleading images and are working to ensure the listings are correct moving forward.
With this said, in an auction format, it's up to each buyer to review the item description prior to bidding, taking note of all key details, to decide the item is what's intended. Bidders decide how high they are willing to bid, and can stop bidding at any time.
Additionally, with our easy return policy, a return request can be open for an item for any reason within 30 days from delivery. See full details here: http://tinyurl.com/h7xokwj.
Thank you and let us know if you need any help!

I really like Tophatter. But there are a few drawbacks.
1. You can get items at a low cost.
2. Most, I feel, are of good quality.
3. The auctions are fast paced and riveting.
4. I will not use any other auction site.
I just wish I understood how to get started selling on the site myself.
Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey, Daniel!

I hate the way some items pop up then even if you bid the price goes up up up I guess though that is what makes some prices a deal.

Tophatter is wonderful... I became addicted after the first bid it really offers a lot of things that cost next to nothing that you thought you didn't need but you really want. Awesome way to get gifts for Christmas out the way for next to nothing. I've only had one issue with tophatter and that was returning an item that I didn't want after reading the fine print on how long the chain was. It was too short for my neck but I was not able to get a refund that was my fault I should have read the fine print before bidding other than that I had a return that was easily returnable the items that I purchased that have came in I give a 5- star rating. They were awesome I will suggest this site to all my friends

Most items on top hatter are great buys. I love it. I have made in excess of 300 purchases and I will make many. More. The only thing I find that is not good is the high mail costs on some items that are not worth the price of postage. I dont bid on those items.
Hi Robert,

One of the best apps of this type of format. You can't go wrong when everything starts from $1. Really good quality, ships out quickly and a app that I can't stop going to through out my busy day. Love It! Already 3 people from my job downloaded the app after seeing me win bids during lunch.
Hi Bryant,

Ive ordered several items from Tophatter over the past 2 years. Ive had nothing but great results! Ive enjoyed the games, loved the jewelry and will continue to shop for years. I only had one time where my order never arrived, and within one day, received an email from customer service saying I wound be refunded immediately. Very pleased with Tophatter!

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.
