Many appreciate the responsive customer service, which has been effective in addressing issues and facilitating refunds. However, significant concerns persist regarding product quality, with numerous complaints about receiving damaged or inferior items. Additionally, customers have reported frustrations with order cancellations and difficulties in the returns process. Overall, while the platform offers a fun shopping experience, it must improve product reliability and support to enhance customer satisfaction.

I love a good bargain. I ordered two rings, paid very little for them. One ring came to me unmounted. I was disappointed, but contacted Tophatter, and received my money back immediately. I gave Tophatter another chance, and purchased another ring. The 2nd ring I got was just so pretty, lighter pink, almost a peach color on a silver mounted base.It sparkles beautifully in the sun. Wore it to work, lots of compliments. Highly recommend Tophatter to anyone who wants a true bargain, and great customer service!
I will recommend you guys to anybody you are fantastic. The only things that the arrivals take to lonThanks

Since finding Tophatter I have also found some unbelieable items of very good quality that end up costing so much less than anywhere else. I enjoy the bidding, it adds greatly to the anticipation of the possible purchase and the thrill of forging ahead not knowing what will temp me next. Tophatter always ends giving me a happy face.

I love the great prices! My only concern it that sometimes an item is shown in the picture, but not included in the description. Read CAREFULLY before ordering.
Hi Francis,
Thank you for your review.
Great suggestions!
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 that the item is what's intended for purchase. Bidders decide how high they are willing to bid, and can stop bidding at any time.
Warm Regards,
Felicia
Enjoyable bidding on stuff. Would be nice if we could get a better description of the products. Some of the things I notice take 4-6 weeks I was surprised with amazon stuff getting in 2 days
Hi Larry,
Thank you for your review.
Tophatter has strict policies in place which require sellers to accurately represent their items. However, we understand that some items may not be as described and our team has been diligently working to improve seller performance and the overall buyer experience. To help us achieve our goal of ridding the auction of misleading products buyers 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.
In terms of shipping on Tophatter we have an extended ship time of 30 days domestically and 60 days for all international shipments. If your item is not delivered within this time, please contact us and we'd be happy to help further. See full details here: https://tinyurl.com/ybho8k6y. Thank you for being a valued member of the Tophatter community.
Kind Regards,
Felicia

Everything I got for the family and friends for the Christmas holiday was great and they loved their gifts. I even got myself/mom some things as well. Thus far there has been no issues with 99% of the items gotten and i'm still ordering. It's my go to spot when I need something from household to my car. Great site to be on. It's almost addictive.

I've had more positive experiences with Tophatter than any other biding site. You don't have to pay for bids. Most of all, what I get is what's advertised and if there's a problem with what you received, no problem, just contact and return. Excellent...

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.
