The company has garnered a mixed reputation among customers, with notable strengths in its engaging auction format and a diverse range of products that some users find enjoyable and affordable. Many appreciate the responsive customer service, which has been effective in addressing issues and facilitating refunds. However, significant concerns persist regarding product quality, with numerous complaints about receiving damaged or inferior items. Additionally, customers have reported frustrations with order cancellations and difficulties in the returns process. Overall, while the platform offers a fun shopping experience, it must improve product reliability and support to enhance customer satisfaction.

If shipping didn't take so long, I would've given 5 stars. As long as the item description is read carefully, everything is received as expected. Good experience so far!
Tophatter has a wide variety of offerings, many of which I've seen on other sites for double (or more!) the price. It can be frustrating that some items take so long to be delivered but I don't order anything that is essential to life. On those rare occasions that a product is defective, I really appreciate that my money (including shipping!) is refunded immediately. Great site!

I love Tophatter, the only thing I wish could change is that if you bid on something and didn't have time to read reviews you can cancel it if you change your mind at least within the 1st 1-2 hours.
I have enjoyed using Tophatter for years. I have purchased many items, most of them were as expected and at a good price. Even when an item did not live up to expectations, you were quick to provide a refund. Fortunately those were few compared to my total number of purchases.
Very happy with the selection of items and the service. Keep up the good work.
Hi Leo,

The majority of the products purchased on Tophatter are of good quality for the price. I have purchased mostly jewelry and it has been very nice quality and perfect for my cruising vacations. I don't worry if I lose it or it gets taken. I received many compliments and they make great gifts.
On the rare chance that the item is not to my liking I can easily get a refund. Which in this day and age is a rare thing.

Most of the items I have purchased are pretty awesome, but there are some that did not meet certain standards, and were either broken when they arrived or did not seem to match the descriptions that were offered. I would like to see them give some kind of like a certificate of authenticity, and not just for us to take their word for what they are saying. That would be a good thing. That way they wont lie about what they are selling just to get rid of stuff that is not up to par. Thanks

We want you to be pleased with all of your purchases on Tophatter and I'm sorry that hasn't been the case.
Tophatter is a Marketplace that connects buyers with sellers (https://tophatter.com/terms), and we rely on sellers to provide accurate information about every item; however, if you discover a listing has been misrepresented in any way, we offer excellent Buyer Protection (https :// tophatter. Com/topics/Buying/subtopics/Buyer%20Issues/questions/Is%20there%20Buyer%20Protection%3F) As part of our quality assurance process, our system detects and applies strong penalties to sellers with higher than average return rate, and individual items exceeding the rate will no longer be scheduled on our platform.
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. To request a return, visit My Orders, click the item, then click Return Item.

The main change you need to make is when buying and I or anyone buy something by accident There needs to be a place to delete the item and not have to put it on credit card. Accidently this has happened to me twice and I did not want the item in the first place. I had to buy no where to cancel... What do I need to do if I don't want the item.
Hi Shirley,
Thank you for your review.
To cancel an unpaid order, please follow these steps:

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.
