Items are shipped fast. And have been very pleased with items I've purchased, some for more and girls for others.
Some of the products were received quickly. However some of the first ones ordered seem to be stuck in China yet. Also confusion on same tracking #s for different items. Then when contacted about it, somehow items got cancelled or refunded... Enjoy the products that I did receive.

I would have given this app 5 stars but I will have to be totally honest some of the product or items that are viewed aren't what they are. Meaning when you receive it in the mail it's not at all what the picture or captions stated. I had to return a number of things due to missing parts, false advertising item, item previously opened and re sent, items not working, etc. but all in all I do like this app I will continue to purchase items but now that I know I will take the time to read the item carefully and make sure that the item is what they say they are.
Hi Armand,
Thank you for your review. We want you to be pleased with all of your purchases on Tophatter and I'm sorry that hasn't been the case.
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.
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.
For any problematic items, please contact our dedicated support team here http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu for help getting the issue resolved.
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 truly are delighted to have you as a valued member of the community.

Many purchases from this site have resulted in much satisfaction from those who were gifted the items. For the most part all were within specifications listed. Recommend this auction program.

The 90 second auctions are great. Some of the items offered are not very appealing. Some are pretty cool. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate Tophatter a 1o for service and accessibility, but the products offered a 6. But still fun!

Not all is as it seems. 75% of what I bought was not as advertised. Could have bought better and cheaper on Amazon.
The best thing about Tophatter is the excitement of the auction. But like a carnival booth, you walk away with junk.
So pleased with everything I've gotten here! Couldn't be happier! Surrending money and making money! Great is an understatement for how good this site is!

Only place I used my bank card was
Tophatter and $3229. 00 was withdrawn from an ATM in texas from my account and I haven't been to Texas. Someone in the system isn't honest. Beaware that it could happen to you also.

All made of plastics. All knock off. Smart watches and everything else do not work.
If you do request a refund and they ask you to return it, you will be paying... example... purchased a 7 iPad cost me 27.50 CAD to return it. I paid a lot less than that. IPad cover.
Hi Anna,
I'm sorry to hear our services didn't meet your expectations.
Tophatter will always process refunds for buyers upon receiving a valid tracking number from them indicating that the order has been returned to the seller. On our platform, refund without return or prepaid return labels are provided to U.S.-based buyers until the buyer hits a threshold for free returns. For internationally located buyers, we provide a refund without return or some store credit to offset some of the cost of returning the item at their own expense until the buyer hits the threshold.
The acceptable return threshold is continuously calculated as a percentage of the buyer's total purchases. Once this threshold has been met, the cost of returning the item to the seller with tracking will be at the buyer's expense. When this happens, it is explained in the email buyers receive when they request a return, that they are responsible for the return shipping cost, and the buyer is provided with the seller's return address to facilitate the successful return of the order.
Unfortunately, you've requested returns in excess of the threshold, and we are unable to provide more free returns at this time.
Thank you for understanding,
Graciela
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!
We're sorry shipping times did not meet your expectations. There is an extended ship time of 60 days allowed for all international shipments. If your item has not been delivered to your location within this time, please contact our customer support team for review: http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu. See full details here: http://tinyurl.com/zfc5lpn.
Also, 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. Please see details here: https://tinyurl.com/yc6sdknh.

I have been a customer of Tophatter for about three weeks and am having a lot of fun. I've received three of my wins and I'm very impressed with the quality of the jewelry. My hubby isn't too happy that I've discovered but he has been playing on it for much longer time than I.

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.
