I enjoy bidding on Tophatter. The selection is great and it even surprises me at times with items I did not expect to see on the site. I have been on the site for a while and I haven't been disappointed. When I when I pay for my item an email alerts me and usually within a day it's on it's way to me. Tophatter is a great auction site

I have bought quite a bit of jewelry and when you first get them they look really nice. So far I have lost stones out of 3 of the rings I have bought. One was in just a few days and they gave me my money back and told me to keep the ring. That one I believe I lost 2 stones out of. I'm not complaining because I figure for the price that it won't last that long. But even the rings themselves, some have turned my finger green. Even with this I will still buy jewelry off of here.
Hi Kathy,
Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry to hear you have lost some of the stones from your rings. I'm glad to hear we were able to get these issues addressed in a pleasing way.

My item came directly from China. Had I known that I would not have ordered it as I'm trying NOT to voluntarily purchase goods from China no matter what it is. Not only did it take a month to get here it arrived broken. The quality is so poor it belongs in the dollar store. Ignore their inflated prices. Do you really think your going to get quality merchandise reduced to $3?

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.
