The company has garnered a mixed reputation among customers, with notable strengths in its engaging auction format and a diverse range of products that some users find enjoyable and affordable. Many appreciate the responsive customer service, which has been effective in addressing issues and facilitating refunds. However, significant concerns persist regarding product quality, with numerous complaints about receiving damaged or inferior items. Additionally, customers have reported frustrations with order cancellations and difficulties in the returns process. Overall, while the platform offers a fun shopping experience, it must improve product reliability and support to enhance customer satisfaction.

Some of the items not worth the price! Some of the items are a great find. I was disappointed in some of my items and got refunded. Some items took over a month to come.
I never received my smart watch and when I explained this the vendor said check your bushes and ask your family because I am not refunding you. It never showed up and they never gave a damn to care if it did so I havent bid on a thing since.
Pretty good. Hate all the items from China that take forever to deliver. By the time you bid you don't know it's free China
Thank you for your review, Tara.
Tophatter sellers come from around the globe. US, UK, China, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Mexico, Spain, Austria, Germany, and more.
We are always looking for the best performing sellers in terms of quality, shipping speed, experience, and scalability.
With the continued expansion of our platform, it is likely shoppers will see new sellers from all over the world who will bring these traits to the site.
We hope every shopper will be delighted with every purchase, but understand that not everything can be perfect. 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.
On Tophatter we have an extended ship time of 30 days domestically and 60 days for all international shipments.
I definitely understand wanting what you paid for to arrive as soon as possible. Please know your voice is heard and we are working to improve your experience in terms of shipping times.
After you've purchased, you can click on any item from your My Orders page then click *Where's My Item?* to find the current status and timeline.
We are delighted to have you as a valued member of the community.

Joined tophatter a few months ago. So far, I'm impressed. I've ordered about 30 items and of those, I was refunded for 1 because it wasnt what I expected and 1 still hasn't shipped to me since May. Other than that, its like Christmas getting packages delivered to my office! The items are decent. I mostly order "bling". Some have already become tarnished, but as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for"! But it's fun to bid on things and win them so cheap! Thanks for a fun website! And I always provide a 4 star rating or higher.
Thank you for your review, Jenny.

The bidding is fun and i enjoy that aspect of the experience. However the descriptions are not always clear and some items have little or no instructions with them.

Of all the things we bought there was only one problem. That was my fault for not looking to see what sizes were available before bidding. She will have to regift it to someone with smaller fingers.

I use the site a lot I spend good money on your site. By denying me access you lose out on me buying something else.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Warren.
I am sorry shipping prices didn't meet expectations. The shipping costs are displayed prior to bidding.
To review all the item details prior to bidding click the picture to find everything the seller has provided including shipping cost, brand, condition, material, colors, and sizes where applicable.
A block on your ability to bid is temporary and it occurred because you had too many canceled transactions. See full details on that policy here https://tinyurl.com/y8uzqbag
You can still make purchases on items which offer Buy Now. Click on any item with a Buy Now button to purchase it. Buy Now items can be found by using the Browse option or by searching the Catalogs https://tophatter.com/catalogs/search?query

Every visit has been a great experience. Your customer service is out standing! My only complaint is that there should be an arrow at the bottom of the auction site that you can click on so you can go back to the top quickly so you don't miss any auction or bidding.

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.
