Disappointing Tophatter
October 4, 2018

About 70% of the item's I've purchased from here are very cheaply made, and they make the picture look so much bigger & better in most cases, I have on the other hand received some really nice items I just love! Be very careful before you bid and even then it's hard to know

Hi Wendy,

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.

Shoppers also have the option to rate their delivered items. Rating items is important because 1.) other buyers will be able to review the average rating on products before they bid, and 2.) items rated consistently low will automatically stop being scheduled on the platform. For these reasons we encourage you to rate the products you have purchased, although doing so is not required.

Kind Regards,
Angelique

Amazing
October 4, 2018

I often wonder how sellers manage to sell items when the bidding starts at $1, then I realize these auctions run 24/7 and products are moving in multiple streams and servers. Amazing amounts of volume that's how. Good work guys!

Tophatter Bidding
October 4, 2018

I have enjoyed shopping at Topphetter.com since becoming a member. I have shopped at Ebay for years then tried the sites where you have to pay to bid (they sucked), Ebay has been OK and the others were terrible, so here I am. a devoted member. Bidding is a hoot and timely.

Very happy for the most part.
October 4, 2018

The only thing I would change is to not only be able to contact the seller after you bid and win, but to know the exact country of origin. Another thing would be to make it where the seller has certain time frames to do each action. Say a week to get the tracking number, 10-14 days to send it off, etc. This buying and then checking and finding out it is not picked up or whatever after 3 weeks is bad business.

Hi Billy,

Thank you for your review and for sharing your thoughts, much appreciated.

We don't offer the ability for buyers and sellers to directly contact each other through an unstructured format. We use to in the past but found that sometimes buyers would receive incorrect information on Tophatter policy and correspondence between buyers and sellers was not always professional so we opted to move away from an unstructured format in terms of communication between buyers and sellers.

Sellers have the ability to ship items from any location of their choosing, and some ship from multiple locations to get items to you more quickly. Therefore we do not show a seller's location on item listings, and instead, we provide an expected range of time to delivery.

Sellers on Tophatter put forth their best efforts into getting items to you as quickly as they can, and in accordance with our seller shipping policies, sellers are able to select a processing time between 1 and 5 business days from the time they receive your payment, then there is an average delivery time factored into the Estimated Delivery date that you see on your account.

I surely understand wanting what you paid for to arrive as soon as possible. Please know your voice is heard and we are working to improve your experience in terms of shipping times.

After you've purchased, you can click on any item from your My Orders page then click *Where's My Item?* to find the current status and timeline.

On Tophatter we have an extended ship time of 30 days domestically and 60 days for all international shipments. If the time-frames passes and you still haven’t received your item please contact our dedicated customer support team by visiting My Orders, clicking the item, clicking Order FAQs, then clicking Contact Support and completing the form detailing the issue. We will be happy to help. If it’s more convenient for you, you can also contact our support team here: http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu

Some of the merchandise I order was of good quality. A lot was not as pictured; and poor quality. When it shows a coin it doesn't tell you it is a copy. When you order a sports card it doesn't tell you its not authentic.

1. The Bidding process is simple, straightforward and fast (within a few minutes).
2. Most merchandise may take a little longer to arrive (2 weeks or more) but they do arrive and under good condition (no damaged goods yet for my bids). A few that did not get to me within the time limit are promptly refunded.
3. Quality of the merchandise is average. Some fail to work as advertised. Instruction material is not good, sometimes even missing. If an item fails to work as described, it is refunded when reported. Refund process is prompt.
