Mostly great things to say. If there is a problem, customer service is quick to fix it! I have recommended it to others who now use this site.
Very pleased with just about everything except for 1 of the rings. The ring was not the color I chose and took longer than I was informed to get here. Tophatter was very quick with a refund on an item I purchased one evening when I accidentally ordered the wrong item. I texted them right away within a couple of minutes and was texted back that the refund was already done but it would take a couple of days to show up I my account. Sure enough it was back in my account in a couple of days. I will recommend Tophatter to all my friends and family.

I enjoy Tophatter and most of the time the deals are better priced than I have been able to find anywhere else. My only problem is that some products are misleading or needing to really read the details and not go by the pictures, for this reason I would rate you 3 or 4 out of 5. However every time I have had an issue you have taken care of it immediately. Your customer service has been outstanding 5 out of 5 amazing work and the only reason I come back over and over again.

My experience has been good. Shipping is slow but coming from over seas it is understandable. Quick to resolve issues and refunds. Some advertisement is miss leading, so you have to read description to see how many you are bidding on. Picture of quantity is not always the same.

Always a good experience with Tophatter. Only had one issue with an item and was refunded the money. Thanks

I have not been satisfied with the products at all, I have had to get a refund because the products were cheap and broke soon as I opened the package. There is no live representative to speak with and as a business owner myself this is unacceptable to the consumer, after all they are the reason we are in business.
Hi Karen,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
We definitely want your experiences on Tophatter to be pleasing and I'm sorry to hear that the products you received weren't acceptable. Because we are not the seller of the item, or the reseller we offer easy returns.

Take care. You can buy great things in 90 seconds or a draw full of junk.
I have both.
The 90 seconds ( i believe) is to catch you off guard.
Have fun... it is a fantastic idea.
Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for your review.
Most auctions last 90 seconds, up to 2 minutes depending on the number of bids an item receives. With each bid, the time the item is up for auction is extended.
We definitely want you to receive items that are valuable to you and I strongly recommend viewing the item description before bidding. To review an item, click the picture to view the full description. Here you will see all details the seller has provided including condition, material, and available colors and/or sizes where applicable.
If you need more time to review an item description before bidding I recommend setting a reminder. Reminders can be set for items by clicking the heart icon, or by clicking Set a Reminder. We will notify you that an item is coming up for auction again shortly before it opens for bids.
Thank you for shopping on Tophatter. We value your business.
Kind Regards,
Angelique
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.
