I enjoy sitting and bidding for items. Customer service is great and sellers accommodating. Very quick response from all involved.
Love this site. Have won bid on many items and have been pretty much happy with all. Have been satisfied with replies when things have not been as described.
I've been very pleased with the Tophatter site! I have purchased more than 20 items and only had one problem but it was resolved fast. Customer service was quick to respond.

I won the bid on a black Disney necklace, which was shown and why bid, I received a silver one. I'm not happy with this purchase at all. I went the black one.
Hi Nancy,
Thank you for your review. We hope every shopper will be delighted with every purchase, but understand that not everything can be perfect. 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.
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,

You can find a bargain price on something you want but before you get caught up in the fever check the price for buy-it-now on eBay so you don't spend $60 for something you can get elsewhere for $10 or less.
It is great fun to keep checking back to see if the item you want is on the block and not many are bidding on it.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your review.
We encourage shoppers to read the item description to determine what is a fair price to pay. Bidders decide how high they are willing to bid, and can stop bidding at any time. Shoppers can also set reminders by clicking the heart icon, which will allow more time to read the description and get a notification when the item is back up for auction this way they can price compare and come back to the item later.
Please note, Tophatter also offers the option to purchase items outright using the Buy Now option. You can see Buy Now items here https://tophatter.com/catalogs

I have had no trouble at all getting the greatest service from Tophatter. They move very quickly to assure you of any problems being resolved to your satisfaction. Thank You Tophatter for all the great deals and it's so many that I'd have to go back and count them but I know it's at least 7 pages of won bids. I can't recommend you high enough 10 stars would not be too much THANKS!
Hi Thomas,

I ordered quite a lot of stuff just before we moved house so everything was packed into boxes and moved. It has taken us months to get sorted and unpack.
The flying drone that I bought lasted a week and then one of the 4 blades stopped working so it is now useless.
Tophatter simply told me that the 30 day period had expired and gave me a credit (about a quarter of the price of the item that can only be redeemed via another purchase.). Now fortunately I know my rights under consumer protection so I will be lodging a complaint with them against the company this week and I'm pretty confident that they will be forced to replace it or refund me.
The fact that I have to take this action will mean the end of my dealings with Tophatter.
In general the photos of the goods advertised make them look quite appealing but upon examination of all the stuff I have bought it could well be classed as cheap junk.
Lesson learnt, I should have purchased a single item and assessed it before proceeding to buy more stuff.
Hi Brian,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
We hope every shopper will be delighted with every purchase, but understand that not everything can be perfect. 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. Unfortunately, as you have mentioned we are unable to require a refund outside of the 30-day window. There are rare circumstances when we do so.
With that said, I reviewed your account and I see a refund was issued for Order #: 59675166.
Refund Details:
Amount: $27.00
Refund Issued: Aug 29,2018
Issued to: PayPay account.
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.

I am very happy with this shopper site. Mainly they comply with the commitment that if you are not happy with the item, they will return your money. Until now I did not have any issues and hope to be as happy as I am know with my shopping.

I've ordered numerous times, only had issues twice and both times it was taken care of in less than 24 hours. Extremely satisfied and will continue to shop here often...
I would rate them fairly high. Fun shopping experience, nice items, and great prices. I had one order that I waited on for quite a while and it was lost in shipping. Got a refund, so no problem there. The majority of the items are great. If you love shopping, it's a fun way to do it, and the prices are fair.

Found your site, interesting auction items, fairly good selection of various items. Shipments have been received in reasonable length of time.
The auctions are fun
If you're careful what you buy you get some amazing deals. Warning. It's addictive. I'm hooked on the 3d metal models and love my BBQ grill mats

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.
