Nothing about Tophatter disappoints. Just about anything you could imagine can be found here, and not only at deeply discounted prices but also Tophatter has your back 100% standing behind every purchase. New items are added every day and the 90 second auction platform is fast and fun!
No, I don't work for Tophatter nor do I hold any interest this company. I'm just an extremely satisfied customer who does a majority of my shopping online, and wanted to give credit where credit is due.
Way to go Tophatter! Topnotch!
Ordered 1 each; gold men's necklace, iPhone ear buds - corded, wireless type ear buds, and a portable tracker device to find lost items.
Necklace was ok. Corded ear buds, cord volume control does not work. Wireless ear buds, hard to get both to sync to use both at same time. Tracker will not connect to their app at all, tried everything. And I have worked in IT for the past 25 years and owned one of the first PC's ever made back in 1982. Disappointed...

Hi Lou,
Thank you for your review. 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.
For any problematic items, please contact our dedicated support team here http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu for help getting the issue resolved.

Several items have not been as advertised and the cost to return a couple of them to China was too high.
Hi David,
Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry to hear you received items that didn't meet your expectations.
I reviewed your account and see a refund was issued for the items that follow without the return of the items:
Order #: 53122563
Order #: 53025790
I see you requested to return Order #: 72732429 with the reason of Accidental purchase. In this instance, the return of the item is the responsibility of the buyer. Tophatter will always process refunds for buyers upon receiving a valid tracking number from them indicating that the order has been returned to the seller. Tophatter offers Buyer Protection in the form of a 30-day Easy Return policy that will either: 1.) refund the buyer without return needed, 2.) provide the buyer with a prepaid return label, or 3.) present the buyer with the seller's address to return the item, paying for their own return postage with valid tracking number.
Kind Regards,
Angelique
I really enjoy Tophatter, but when I have won auctions at ridiculously low bids, my orders are not shipped and I am refunded. No way to comment on the seller that takes your time waiting and waiting for something not sent... Makes me stay off the site often.
Hi Johanna,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I'm terribly sorry to hear the seller failed to honor your sale. This is definitely against Tophatter seller guidelines. When a buyer is refunded without prior consent the seller is automatically penalized, so this won't go unnoticed. Again, my apologies for the inconvenience this has caused. Thank you.

I have one ring I ordered on August 19, still not here, also a couple of more things that are way overdue
I've only had 2 problems with Tophatter purchases, and both were resolved quickly and without conflict. My honesty was never in question and I was treated as a valued customer. I would gladly recommend Tophatter to friends.

I love Tophatter. I'm addicted to Tophatter, however, I limit myself to a reasonable dollar amount when I bid. I'm also satisfied with their customer service.

For the most part I have been pleased with the items that I have received. A couple of my items seem to be rather cheaply made. They are always very prompt with the shipping process.
Hi Mary,

For 1 year you were great now you have let people put outrageous shipping charges on items. You have accepted sellers who put high start points on items. You allow some to use corp. names and logos on things that are not from that corp.
