So far most items are good and in good shape, some of the rings especially ones where you get more than one they seem to be rough, scratch or tear skin when wearing, otherwise have been satisfied with Tophatter

Very happy with all purchases received except three and got unexpected refund on one of those (wrong size sent). The other two are lights for car wheels that arrived damaged ( battery exploded) and do not work as they said they did, and the last was a ring that in the photo the band looked solid whrn in reality it was not.

A distribution company should be behind their products they offer - I received some good ones but receiving broken, missing pieces and products not shown as presented is not right.
Hi Brenda,
Thank you for your review.
I'm very sorry that you received some items that have been broken or missing pieces. Tophatter is not the seller or reseller of the items, Tophatter is a Marketplace that connects buyers with sellers (https://tophatter.com/terms) and we rely on the seller to ensure you receive your item incompletion, without missing pieces. Unfortunately, regarding the broken item, at times items are damaged in transit.
Not to worry, 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.
Warm Regards,
Angelique
I have a great time flipping through the different ads and bidding on the different items. It becomes almost a game to see if you can out bid the next person on each item. Plus they have great deals on many different items.

Careful of what? Overbidding. I've seen many wins where people pay more then Amazon.
Be patient of slow delivery because almost all the companies are sending from China. The companies usually get the item in the mail within 8 hours. So the literal slow boat from China is real. Let's not forget customs either.
I'm guessing many sellers are employees at the factory trying to make a few extra bucks from a production run for the company. There also appears to be the practice of accepting pre-orders letting them build up for a week or two. I've always gotten my order just much later then the usual slow boat. To be fair the fine print does say delivery time a full 30 days out.
Quality wise most of the items have been middle range. With the odd exception of cheap and high quality seen. If you like an item buy it again while you can. Once production is over you will be stuck paying more.
There is a saying:
You can have it cheap,
You can have quality,
You can have it fast,
Pick 2 or expect to pay extra.
Tophatter caters to the first two.
Hi AJ,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave a review, much appreciated.
In terms of overbidding, we definitely encourage shoppers to read the item description and determine what is a fair and reasonable price to pay for the items that they are bidding on. Bidders decide how high they are willing to bid, and can stop bidding at any time.

Ordered something small as I had read quite a few reviews of people being scammed and never receiving anything, so we shall see if my order actually shows up. However considering that when I now click to view the sellers profile I get a error 404 notice, I don't believe I will get anything.

I have purchased several Items on this site,... be careful... several items are overpriced, even at $2, $3, $4 plus shipping. You really need to investigate before purchasing. I saw bidders buying silver at $20 plus for a gram of sterling. That is worth $. 54. Silver is about $16.50 an oz, a gram is 1/2500 th of an oz and even if it were an oz, why would you pay $20 for $16 worth of silver. Another con, German Silver isn't silver, it is an industry term for a metal mixture that contains no silver, worth about $. 03/oz they sell this for $6 to $20 for a 1 oz bar. Really, buyer beware!

I love to browse, find something cute or useful then set a reminder when it is available for auction. It is fun! Mostly I look at the jewelry but plan to branch out into other categories. Prices are soooooo good. Can afford to pick up a few pieces instead of just one for the same price. New favorite site!

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.
