I have purchased a number of items from TopHatter, but have been disappointed in two of them. You must read the description of the item carefully to make sure it is complete for your needs. Otherwise, very pleased
I love the app. They have excellent prices. The delivery is a little long. If you love shopping this is definitely the app for you.
I have used Tophatter for several purchases. One situation was very difficult. I won seeds for planting in the garden. Unfortunately the seeds when shipped were unmarked in a small plastic zip bag. There was no paperwork enclosed to identify them or give planting or germination instructions. I had to go back and do research and try to determine of all the seeds I had ordered from various companies, which these were! I finally located them, printed out the photo of the flowers, and the instructions. Those should have been included and I fault the seller for that. I won't know the freshness of the seeds or accuracy of the order, until they grow and bloom. All other purchases from the site have been great.
I had a nice surprise discovering Tophatter this week - we were snowed in and the day was dull and I found Tophatter and passed many hours having fun bidding and winning. I highly recommend this site
I like that you can bid on all the products you have and get the best deal you have lots of time to bid and you sale everything that you are looking for
First time trying this site. Received 2 of my items today that I won the bid on. I ot one for $1 and the other for $3 just to try it out. WOW, the products are azaming, the Quality is really good. I can't wait for the other things I won on my bids. The only thing neg. Is I have to wait for them to come in the mail. Takes alittle longer to ship, unless you pay extra for faster shipping. I will recommend to anyone. It's fun, it's really fun when you win the bid. And it's fun to receive your item in the mail.
So far this has been a great site to pick up some awesome items for great prices. I love the fact the bidding last only 90 seconds! 90% of the items I ordered so far have been true to what I expected. This is a cool site!
Tophatter has mostly rip offs. Selling items supposedly equal to other at hundreds of dollars for a few bucks. I ordered 5 items, took month or more to get and they were junk. A shaver that doesn't shave, a radar detector that doesn't, a smart watch that requires a $50 a month app, diamond hole cutter set that falls apart, a temp gun that's 20 degrees F off, and a SD card that worked 1 day. I wouldn't buy anything from this site. It makes the slogan Buyer beware have a whole new meaning.

The live auctions are fun. Gives you a rush when you win. Affordable. Most items are of good quality for the price. Watch Out you will spend an evening bidding only to do it again the next day. It is that easy and fun.
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.
