We monitor reviews for authenticity
Received several items. About half I would say are very cheaply made and not worth much. The value they put on items has been many times incorrect. I would expect very high quality with the values they have given the items.
About 99% of the items I have purchased from Tophatter have been more than I expected and the other 1% could have been improved by providing instructions on how a particular item is suppose to work.
I joined just to see what the app was about. Then bam, I'm hooked. The thrill of a live auction, added to the feeling of winning, combined with saving money. What could be better. I was skeptical, until the packages began to arrive, weeks earlier than predicted, and it made me a believer. Quality products, at the price you choose.
We are delighted to have you as a valued member of the community. Thank you for writing your review, Jeff.

Great shopping experience and very professional. Always have something different. I like the auctions cause you can get merchandise cheaper than buying them out right.

Overall, no complaints. But, you do need to read the Item description. To order the right sizes, correct colors or quantities they have on hand, etc.

Having the experience to bid on items and winning is fun, All of the items that I have obtained were good and I gave some away as gifts. As I told others how I obtained the items and told them about tophatter now I am bidding against them for other items, I have not experienced any wrong doings or misrepresentation of any product. I also feel that this is a safe site and I have had no problems. I will tell everyone about tophatter and the fun you have bidding.

Overall very much enjoyable I like the beating in the winning but on the other hand I don't like it when you win something and they cancel it on you
I truly appreciate you taking the time out to leave a review. Thank you for taking time out of your personal time to do so, George.
I’m pleased to hear your overall experience has been a great one and
I'm terribly sorry to a seller failed to honor your sale. This is definitely against Tophatter seller guidelines. When a buyer is refunded without prior consent the seller is automatically penalized, so this won't go unnoticed. Again, my apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

I have purchased many items from this website and have been happy with most of the items purchased. When I have not been satisfied I have notified Tophatter and they have resolved it quickly, usually by refunding my money while allowing me to keep the item. While the items take a long time to arrive, they all arrive within a reasonable amount of time. I am very happy with this shopping site.

Some of the items came quickly, but the tracker says some are still in China. The quality is good on the items I have recieved, and when I had an issue with one of them, your staff handled it quickly.
Bought numerous items... mostly satisfied with price and product. Several items that were not working or did not fulfill expectations were given 'refund'. So far... very good

A lot of times you have to click on the picture to see exactly what you are getting. If it's clad or not, or if it's 10 pieces rather than the 30 pictured, or if it's one item rather than the 3 pictured. The actual weight of these 100% silver coins that are 1/10 troy ounce. The shipping sometimes kills the deal for me. It would be nice if the shipping times were less of a range. I've had 38 - 40 days, and one that actually shipped in the morning and I received it that afternoon. China post is not fast. But the range should be 20 - 30 days, rather than all over the place.
Thank you for your review, Joseph.

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.

In terms of the items details, unfortunately, only the details provided by the seller in the item description are available to us.
To review an item, click the picture to view the full description. Here you will see all the details the seller has provided, including condition, material, and available colors and/or sizes where applicable.
A quick online search using platforms such as Google, Yahoo, YouTube, etc. may help you find additional information or instructions.
If you can't find your answer there and this item doesn't work out for you, you can request to return the item for up to 30 days from delivery. See full details on our generous return policy here (https://tinyurl.com/yd75uc6e)
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.
