Some items are cheaply made from China which is too far and expensive to return. Most of the items I purchased were satisfactory but some were not as good as pictured.
Love the jewelry never takes long to arrive. Good to let customers know that products have arrived. Have recommended this amp to many friends.
I enjoy browsing Tophatter. It's fun to watch the quick auctions pop, and with luck, you can get some good deals. Everything I've ordered has arrived, and been just as described.
Great idea, just love them. Gave one to a friend and she loved the fact that it was a pen as well as a pointer
Very BEAUTIFUL items without high mall prices... Superbowl rings without Super high prices... Very affordable...
I had a problem with one order and Tophatter handled quickly and very much to my satisfaction! I ordered a knife sharpener and it was really a cheapo and didn't work well at all. So Tophatter quickly refunded my money! So I am very happy! I love shopping at Tophatter! I tell all my friends about Tophatter!
Nice fun site, lots of nice things...
Have recommended it to all my friends!
A great run bidding site. I only had to return 2 items (out of 72 orders won) and it was very smoothly handled. Very impressive. I love this site and love the quality items I have recrived.
I LOVE TOPHATTER. Shopped 'til I dropped & spent $800 in just 3 days. Bought beautiful jewelry for Twin & I. Well, enough to share with my best buddies, too. Loved every minute of it. It's almost addictive. It's GREAT. Can't beat the experience, the fun, the pure joy of finding the best buys ever! Amazing jewelry and SO AFFORDABLE. THANKS.
For the most part, i am satisfied with my purchases, with a couple of areas of dissatisfaction. First of all, i ordered a lot of items from you and they came individually packaged until one time where supposedly, the shipper put two orders in the same envelope and shipped them. Everything I had received up until then, came individually packaged. Since I paid for individual shipping on every item, i did not expect two items in the same package. From the shippers standpoint, it was a good move, and if I had known in advance that this was happening, i would have been looking for a package containing two items. I did not expect it, so when the package arrived, i opened the top, turned it upside down and shook the package, and one item came out, the other, if in there, must have been stuck and since I did not realize it was there, i discarded the (I thought)empty package. I feel I should have been told to look for two items in the package, via e-mail.it is understandable that the shipper would do this, but should not have charged me for individual shipping, then combining two orders, unknown to me. It's not like there was any added weight to it. Secondly, some of the items are extremely small.
I have purchased many items from Tophatter and have been more than satisfied with most of them. I will continue to make purchases when I see something that I like. No worries!
I purchased a couple of items and received them on time. Thank you Tophatter! HAVEN'T had any problems with my products.
I bid and won a rare, extra large Coach bag What I received was a little coin purse - y problem is with MereJen Hardy of Paradise, Texas and I really hate that I live in Texas and would like to think that all Texans are honest and up standing but this lady is a scam artist and I am sorry to say I fell for the bid. Be very careful bidders
I ordered an item back on May 15th and i still have not received it.The only response I get from Top Hatter is check with the post office Everything else I ordered arrived but not the very first item. I am very disappointed as I have been recommending this site to all my friends. I don't know how to trust them if they're just going to take my money and not give me any product.
Hi Caroline,
Please provide me with a valid order number and I'm happy to look into this for you.
Thank you!
Felicia
Most of my items are very nice thank you. One of the items did not work the one that is supposed to light up the bathtub for kids it doesn't work no big deal though thank you. Cost more to ship it back then I paid for it.
I didn't do my research until after I purchased the merchandise. Everything I purshased cost me more than the actual price. Felt like a dummy. Its a scam!
Linda,
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't find great deals while shopping on Tophatter. 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 what is a fair or reasonable price based on the value he or she places on the item. Bidders decide how high they are willing to bid, and can stop bidding at any time.
Thank you for your understanding,
Felicia
Everything that I have been lucky enough to win on auction has arrived on time, been well packaged and much better than I expected.

I am very disappointed by this site, the majority of my purchases are jewelry described in gold, but on receipt of my parcels all these jewelry are wrong and do not correspond to the description. It's the scam

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.
