Its so much fun and all I have got is awesome and in the mail fast love this sight will be getting more from you all thank you
When I first came to the platform I was so exicited about the prices and products. So I bought about 30 products. Spent nearly $500.
Couple of weeks later I started receiving broken goods. Every product I purchased doesnt even come close to the image they have on the product on the App.
Drone I purchased for 70 dollars. Buy the same thing for 12 in Kmart. Image and description said its big. But its so small.
Leggings were cheap and small.
Kids toys are $#*!.
Everything is not what they advertise on the platform. The same products they have in Tophatter, you have it on Alibaba for 10 times cheaper. Same exact product with the same images.
So stay away from it. Dont waste time.

I ordered an interactive fingerling from seller US dream and it was literally a piece of cheap plastic junk it did not have a place for batteries because it did not take a battery because it was a hoax they literally took pictures of the fingerling interactive monkeys And put McDonalds toys in the boxes I am more than upset and after they sent me a fake toy that done nothing it was supposed to do they want me to pay for the return all the way to China Im very disappointed with Tophatter for letting these people scam hard-working honest people Ive seen these toys and auction go up to 20$ to 30$ And its sad that they are allowing this to happen not only that instead of giving free shipping back for returns they expect you to pay to send their hunk of junk back to them so its not even worth it youre just stuck with paying $20-$30 for a fake fingerling I am more than upset

I am happy to have found this site great prices. And great products. Quick shipping i am very happy with the products i have received. Will tell all my friends and family.
Everything I have received from Tophatter is either carnival quality merchandise, dollar store shelf items, claw machine arcade game toys, poorly made or broken products, fakes, scams or just plain crap. I regret every purchase I have made. They say you can return merchandise, but it all comes from over seas so it costs more to ship the junk back than you paid for it.

With regard to the struck-out price shown, it is based on the retail price and the average selling price on this platform. For this reason, you may see struck out amounts that vary from prices shown elsewhere on other platforms, and we encourage you to shop around if you are looking specifically for the MSRP of a particular item. With that being said, you can often find great deals here on our platform, if you have a maximum bid in mind and stop bidding at that price.
Warm regards,
Felicia

I buy from Tophatter all the time. I love the jewelry I can get and I don't pay a fortune for it. If I have a problem Tophatter does its best to fix it or return the full amount of my purchase. I highly recommend it. Great variety of items too.

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.
