So much fun. What went wrong for me was my desk computer wouldn't download the site, my iPad was to sensitive and bid on 2 items I didn't bid on making Tophatter barring me from bidding. The item I did buy was simple and easy and delivered on time. I sure miss the site.
Hi Deborah,
I reviewed your account and don't see any restrictions on your ability to bid. Your account was canceled, so I've reinstated it so you can continue bidding.
Please note, however, we do have a cancellation policy that can be reviewed here: http://tinyurl.com/z6fpw8f.

My innitiall experience was outstanding. However, when I was blocked, I have been unable to get back into the site. After many attempts to contact and get the situation resolved, no luck. The items were as expected. The companies providing products were fast. I had one problem with an item I did not bid on, but got it resolved. Luckly, the company was located not far from where I live and got it resolved. I really enjoyed the site, but ended up not very customer friendly. Have found another AUCTION site that gladly accepts my money and belives their CUSTOMERS if they have a problem.
Hi George,

I ordered 5 items during the period of March-May 2017. I am still awaiting my orders. Lately I tried to log into my account, and all of a sudden I must reset my password. I keep on getting the message the a new password has been send to me, but I never receive the password on my e-mail. I need urgent intervention.
Hi Dorothea,
Please send me a private message with your Tophatter registered email and order numbers, I'm happy to look into this further for you.
Kind regards,
Felicia
These people are liars and thieves they should be closed down. The item worth $1 and they charge you 10 shipping. Or they tell you the item used to be sold for $200 you can find it on eBay for $10. They send you damaged items and they always find away to avoid return. They send you different color or different size of item you purchased
Hi Joe,
I'm sorry to hear you've had less than positive experiences with some of your purchases, thank you for sharing them with us.
Tophatter has very strict policies in place to make sure sellers are representing items correctly. If you have a question about a specific price (MSRP) you see please write our support directly so we can investigate; http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu.
Shipping prices are specified by the Seller as only the Seller can account for all their costs in sending an item. The shipping costs are displayed prior to bidding.
To review all the item details prior to bidding click the picture to find everything the seller has provided including shipping cost, brand, condition, material, colors, and sizes where applicable. 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.
Additionally, with our easy return policy, you can return an item for any reason within 30 days from the delivery date. Please review these details in our FAQ: http://tinyurl.com/h7xokwj
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

PEOPLE NEED TO OPEN THERE EYES ON THIS WEBSITE. THEY SAY THAT THE PRODUCTS ARE 98% OFF. YOU HAVE A SMARTWATCH THAT THEY SAY THE ACTUAL PRICE IS 900$ AND PEOPLE ARE HAPPY WHEN THEY GET IT FOR 20$. WHEN ON THE OTHER THE PRODUCT REALLY COST 15$. I'M SHOCKED HOW SOCIETY IS SO DUMB. ENJOY YOUR BIDDING SCAM

I don't like when I buy something, you keep getting charge for it. Through someone else! Everything else is great! You also over charge for shipping. Which is not a good quality about your company. You need to let people know that they are going to be getting charged every month for a product that they did not want to get every month.
You have to keep going back to see what they have to offer. I have found some items excellent quality and a few not quite what I expected. But mostly very satisfied.
Tophatter is a great site to find a bargain, great for gifts and all those things you didn't know you wanted or needed, I love it, I have only had to return 2 items and the process is easy, great site.
I have enjoyed the watches and leggings i have purchused all arrived in one piece and perfect condition. I also find the site very addictive but i wouldnt have it any other way
Thank you
The discovery of Poshmark has saved me tons of money plus allowed me to make friends along the way! It is almost like becoming part of a huge family! Love Poshmark!
It's fun and a great experience and the prices are great as well thank you I love how they are different things and great prices these items are very good and $#*! out
Nodded on a item I won will see what happens. My concern is a lot of items I see on this site is also items I see on Wish and the Home sites that I used to buy items from.
TOPHATTER will believe the SELLER, in particular (ZNU) IF THEY SHIP YOU A SEALED EMPTY PACKAGE. DON'T BUY FROM ZNU.
Rick, a private message was sent on April 2,2017. I also responded to your email inquiry sent through our customer support channel on the same date. Please respond to one or both of my messages, so I can help resolve your request.
Thank you,
Felicia
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.
