Great products, Amazing prices of course! Shipping takes just a little longer than usual.(most things come from China) if your willing to wait - well worth the wait!
I think Top Hatter is fun, most of the products are cheap little trinkets, the reminder feature is helpful, the fast auction is a little exciting. Its a good way to keep that instant gratification that people seem to need active and buying more products.

Only problems I have are accidental bids using hand held device
Differences between using web and app caused me problems.
Hi Peggy,
Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry that you have encountered a problem with accidental bids.
This can happen if you are clicking around the platform and accidentally click on the Bid button, or if you have left a device logged into your Tophatter account and someone else using your device bids on an item. Read more in the FAQ:_What if I'm unable to pay?_
If you would like to cancel this unpaid order, please follow the steps below:
Visit My Orders
Click the item

Doesn't give enough discription on many items. I've bought about 80.00 worth of junk so far. I have no clue what I was thinking when coins say copy means Not Real. Waiting for others to come in. I did buy some skin stuff that I hope is good. Just need to get use to this site.
Hi Renee,
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.
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.

They have the customer best wishes interest at heart. If you dont like it or it is not what you order they help making it right
I have had a somewhat good experience with Tophatter, there has been a few items i have went to just look at that it has put in my items stating I have purchased it, then some of the tops what they say is an XL= US-M is totally wrong. IT IS WAY TOOO BIG! Order a M and you will have the correct size. And to send some of the items back will cost you more than you paid for it if it is going overseas. So you might as well keep it and sale it.
I have never been more pleased with a bidding site. Every aspect of the site has been so thought out. I don't feel like they have people planted in the site jacking up the bids like on other sites. It is free to bid and their return policy is far and above anything I have ever seen. I'm here to stay
Yes so so happy with all your product no need to say anymore very pleased! I, ve gotton almost everything yall could probably offer except for a doggie stroller and a laptop also Ineed a very median doggie bed,
You will be addicted to Tophatter and end up with everything. After my first successful auction, I was hooked, I couldn't believe how easy it was to win and also a lot of fun.
Took a loooooooooong time to get most of the things i ordered. When they finally arrived... they were either cheaply made or smaller than what appeared online... big eyed doll had big bald spot...
Most products are good but others are cheap made and a waste of money. Not all clothes sizes are right. It is a fast and easy way to get things. Shipping is pretty quick and usually on schedule.
The deals are really good. Shipping is the only thing, but it could be worse I guess. It's a gamble to see who wins.
This site offers cheap Chinese products. As long as you realize that to begin with it offers some easy selections for gifts for people you would rather not spend money on.
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.
