I am very pleased with my delivery which came alot sooner than they stated. I will continue to be a customer & have
I have purchased some good items at good prices, but I have also been caught by some very misleading zingers. For example, I won an auction for what appeared to be a rifle optic with a laser, as shown in the photo, but then got only a laser. I had to click and read description and buried in there it said laser. I also bought a monoscope which clearly states "night vision" and in the picture has a green illuminated photo, but then got it and it was a complete lie. Tophatter should shut those individuals down who mislead or flat lie about what they are offering. Have received some good items to, and the bidding process is exciting.
Hi Rick,
Thank you for your review. We want you to be pleased with all of your purchases on Tophatter and I'm sorry that hasn't been the case.
Tophatter is a Marketplace that connects buyers with sellers (https://tophatter.com/terms), and we rely on sellers to provide accurate information about every item; however, if you discover a listing has been misrepresented in any way, we offer excellent Buyer Protection (https://tinyurl.com/yd75uc6e) As part of our quality assurance process, our system detects and applies strong penalties to sellers with higher than average return rate, and individual items exceeding the rate will no longer be scheduled on our platform.
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,

Been happy with most all I have gotten. Would like to know how to get extra items I have bought. I got a ring that when it got here was missing a stone. You gave me back my money, but my wife thinks its awesome and I would like to get another one?
Hi Wayne,
Thank you for your review.
I'm pleased to hear you're overall pleased with your experience on Tophatter.
I'm happy to help provide instruction on how to purchase more of the same item.

Since you purchased from the seller before:
1. Click My Orders: https://tophatter.com/users/orders
2. Click the item name
3. Click the item name again on the next page
4. Scroll down and click the seller's name to view their items for sale
From this page, you can click on an item and either Set a Reminder or use Buy Now on available items, to purchase them without waiting.
To search for similar items:
1. Click on the "magnifying glass icon": https://tophatter.com/catalogs/search?query= at the top of any Tophatter page

Several items that I wanted came up for auction, but, I was so busy looking at all the great things available on the website, that I missed most of the things I was interested in. I even bought a couple things that I didn't know that I wanted. Really fun to browse through the website here. Highly recommended to all.

Tophatter is though some things go crazy high. As long as you dont need the item right away its good. Some things come really fast and some items... I forgot I had even bought because it took 1+ months to get.
Know what you are bidding on, set the top price you will bid. Then bid and bid fast, this is a very fast moving auction..
Thank you for your review, Peggy!

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.
