Love the awesome products they offer. Saw them advertised on my PC after family told me to check for their site! They sell quality; convenience & fun. If you like bidding/winning at auctions, you will love them! Happy Shopping..
This is the worst i gave it 5 times all my items took over a month when i got them they were rings and they look like bubble gum machine prizes! Dont waste your money and if you decide to cancel well! They suspend you for a week! I mean really now these apps try to tell you how to spend your money, I mean if you win the item and you can concentrate and take a second look AND YOU DON'T REALLY WANT IT so you cancel well now you just got punished! Now top hatter suspended you off there site for a week because you were a bad girl or guy for doing so its a joke really nothing worth wild go to amazon and buy what you need a waste of money for junk
Hi Teresa,
We hope you'll be delighted with every purchase, but 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. Please see https://tinyurl.com/yc6sdknh for full details.
We also understand the disappointment on your account's suspension. The block is only temporary and will release automatically. Please also review Tophatter's cancellation policy here: http://tinyurl.com/z6fpw8f

Since I've started shopping on tophatter I've had a great time bidding, pick up some great deals, feel safe shopping with them,
Purchased a number of items on this site. Recently purchased a night vision monocular. The item when it finally arrived after about a month, from, you guessed, it China, had no night vision capability whatsoever. Contacted Tophatter, who instructed me to return it for a refund. The cost to ship back was on me, notwithstanding the seller totally misrepresented the item description. IMO, THIS SITE SELLS CRAP! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS SITE OR ITS JUNK!
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience and we truly apologize we did not meet your expectations.
Based on several factors including the location of the buyer, the location of the seller, cost of the order, history of returns requested, and the reason for the return, a return request will result in one of the following four outcomes:
1. You may receive a refund for an item, and return will not be required.
2. If you live in the United States, you may receive a free return shipping label to cover the cost of returning your item.
3. If you live outside of the United States, you may receive a store credit to offset the cost of returning your item.
4. You may return the item and assume the cost of return shipping on your own. In any case, we are happy to offer easy returns for any reason, for up to 30 days from delivery.
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.

1. The 5-Star reviews are Tophatters team. No doubt about it.
2. Won 2 items and then all of a sudden the orders were cancelled without my knowing it.
3. Won a 3rd item that came from Georgia and was shipped and delivered within a week (no complaints there).
4.4th item won was NEVER shipped and a refund was issued. This particular seller failed to follow Tophatter's rules and regulations.
5.5th item won came from China and was made from cheap plastic.
6.6th item won was shipped, but the shipment stopped somewhere in China. I was refunded because the seller failed to follow Tophatter's rules and regulations.
Only 2 items won were delivered. The rest were not.
Sellers to AVOID: The Hot Monsters, BeautyBest Accessories, Vidal Gabay, and Topsaler.
This is pure fraud and Tophatter really needs to go out of business for allowing fake and fraudulent sellers on this site.
I don't give a crap if I get refunded for the two items that were cancelled by the sellers. I am deleting my account anyway.
Stay far away from this site unless you want to be screwed over by a bunch of Chinese idiots.
Hi Athena,
I'm terribly sorry that Tophatter doesn't meet your expectations and your experience hasn't been satisfactory. Being there are millions of users who use Tophatter, this is not the case for them all. In addition, positive reviews are just as real as any negative received. These are users who have excellent experiences with their purchases and using the site in a whole.
Again, we thank you for leaving a feedback and we will take note of these sellers and investigate.
Thank you for your patience,

I have only been on Tophatter for a little over 1 week and have already won 5 items that I bid on. It was very simple and fast, not like Ebay, Quibids, etc. No money required to deposit so it only costs when you win, not when you also lose. I recommend it to ANYONE!

Hi R W,
I'm very sorry that our services haven't met your expectations. 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!

Tophatter, has many good products to bid on. I really enjoy the Lior Gold products. On Sale, is great! On Sale, always sends their products on time, or before time. All of the jewelry that I have received has been a very good quality.

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.
