I purchased a new Coach purse for 1
$10.00! A tremendous deal Right? OOPS not so fast! The seller who listed this as a rare collectible purse notified me that they were " out of stock", what are the odds?
Betcha had it gone for adopt more the outcome would have been different. Why spend time and money on a site that does NOT provide as promised? I'm OUT. BUYER BEWARE!

I took one look at it and it went into file 13 better known as the trash can. Save your money for somewhere else

I read a review that says that TopHatter "has your back" if a Seller sends you damaged items. That's a TOTAL CROCK! Yes, they will let me return the item, IF I PAY OVER $60 DOLLARS TO SHIP IT BACK TO CHINA! AND IT'S BROKEN! Plus, items that I have returned... I have not been issued my money back. So, broken items I have to pay return. Many of the items are either Damaged, Not as they are in the picture or just TOTAL GARBAGE! BUYER BEWARE!

I have ordered quite a few items and so far everything has been a great experience. The only down side is that youre mailing system uses so many different delivery companies who are not giving your business a good name.

Cheap items and sometimes with fake descriptions like the material of the jewelry. What I bought for $22 I found it in ebay for $1.24 with free shipping.

I enjoy the experience of going up against others trying to win the overall bid.
Seeing the different products up for grabs with the original prices and seeing what others are getting it for is great.
The only thing I don't like is having to wait so long for the items I have paid for.

Great resolution by customer service department. It took a bit of time to get an original response, but they resolved it immediately in first response. Typically items arrive before expected date.

Speedy auctions, need to make sure you know your product first or you may hook into a product just to not miss the auction. Products good value but shipping takes longer than other on line sites I have used. I found it fun and exciting and have scored my self some cool new gadgets. I will be back

I've only received a few items so far but, I'm mostly quite satisfied. One item was not received as described and I received an immediate refund! A piece of jewelry received was a great buy and so was a chefs knife.
Most people would love it I know I like it for things you would love to buy. And it's a good site it to get things you want to buy a love one are friend as a gift.

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.
