It's fun bidding n even better when you win! Has a great deal of selections, you name it, it's here. The cost is a big plus. Good quality, all new (not used). Exciting, fun and makes shipping fun!

I have enjoyed the "shopping" experience on Tophatter since approximately 2015. They have some beautiful jewelry, neat items such as a monocular, car cameras, helmet cameras, hand held games and consoles, pocket watches, hair accessories and the like. They have so many items you could not name them all including televisions, tablets, etc. The prices cannot be beat! I love the thrill of bidding on those particular items I am interested in and if I am looking for something in particular and don't have time to sit and bid, I jump online to Tophatter do a quick search and purchase the item I am wanting. The sellers try to package the items so they are not damaged during shipping and most items arrive sooner than expected. Some items ship for free, however, those that do charge shipping, it is usually a minimal fee and you always know if you have to pay a shipping fee when you bid on the item. Tophatter, in my opinion, is the best bidding site I have ever encountered.

There is NO real person to talk to and no one reads their messages! I have been blocked for 24 hours for items I did not bid on. Item changed in midbid and eneded up with something I was NOT bidding on. Fb page says contact customer support-bwhaha there isn't one!
Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey, Penny and we are sorry you feel that way.

Like this and have been pretty happy with my experience except when you bid for something and win it at the lowest price and the seller backs out. This has happened 3 times to me and say they are out of the item but then comes up for auction over and over again. You have to really check what it is in the description because what is pictured may not be exactly what you think your getting. Overall its been good
Hi Marie! Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey and sharing some suggestions.
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. Please let us know if you need any help and we'll be more than happy to assist!

Sorry but I can only give 1 star because I've found that the pictures don't match what your selling and you have to really read the description to know. I found that most are coming from China and can be found cheaper buying directly from Ebay. I went crazy the 1st couple days and spent a lot of money and when did research realized deals weren't that good and I over paid on most of what I bought. Have some items I bought almost a month ago showing still in China.

Overall I give Tophatter a 5 STAR ratting. Sure, ever once in a blue moon a small snag may pop up, however, Tophatter makes it all OK! I have bought over 200 items in the past few months and am very pleased with the average timely and secure delivery of 99% of the items. My wife just loves all the items I've won for her on Tophatter, the people who have received them as gifts are more than pleased and I, I love the "hunt", hoping that I snag what I wan't at a low to very low price! Thank you Tophatter for a great experience!

I bidded on coins since I`m a coin collector and unfortunately bidded on some coin copies. I was not happy about it once I realized they were not authentic.

Has delivered exactly as advertised always. I continue to use them. Easy experience to work with, pay after you win is a plus... not spending money to buy "bidding chances". Nothing but good to say about my experiences.

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.
