Returning damaged goods. I refuse to send it back to China. When I first used Tophatter unfamiliar with returning I was scammed a few times. Service is getting better
Sometimes good prices, good quality, most times high prices, bad quality. The descriptions and picture's are not true to products.

Been an off and on again customer for a few years. Like what I see but sometimes items do not arrive. However, Tophatter makes it right which is something that rarely happens in business in these days and times.

Was sent a product that wasnt for IPhone. But I didnt know at of order.
When tried to use it. I couldnt make it work. I contacted support and they credited the cost. When I saidwhere do I sent this back? Was told keep it. So know I have gift to give to a friend
I have had too many seller refunds when item were won for low price. Getting ready to receive another. I have had 5 or more things refunded. Very disappointing. Makes you angry as well. When I do receive Items am almost always satisfied.
We are delighted to have you as a valued member of the community. Thank you for writing your review, Christine.
I'm terribly sorry to hear the 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've issued a $5.00 store credit to your account. This credit is good for your next purchase of $6.00 or more and expires in 2 weeks. I hope you find something you love.
Kind Regards,
Angelique
I love this due to automatic bidding. One doesn't have to wait days to see if item is won. This site has anything one could want or need.

The constant freezing of the auction is to disruptive and time consuming

Product is good but it could be better. Shipping is not at all bad sometimes product arrives sooner than estimated delivery. Prices are fair and easy processing and placing order.

I heard about TopHatter from the radio and I thought, hmm, sounds fun. I actually bet on something the first 3 minutes I was in the live auction on TopHatter! I have not stopped since.
I have bought a lot of different things from tooth whitening to Disney oil print canvas paintings.
Out of everything I have bought on TopHatter I have only had one problem and TopHatter took care of it the same day no questions asked, no long return forms, no going to the post office, it was a pleasant experience.
Needless to say, I have now turned on the whole office to TopHatter and we constantly share different things we find in the live auctions and we will go in and hit favorite so we don't miss the item! So much fun!

I like this auction, but you have to be really careful what you bid on, because it is live, be aware of precious metals, and replicas. Or you will end up like me, with a lot of useless items..

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.
