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.

A lot easier to get the things you want. You can bid to win it or you can buy it without bidding. Shipping is very cheap & not having to wait too long on delivery.
Although I like what I've bought, the values stated for some of the items are way over-valued. Example: I paid 10 for an item that was valued at 250 but could have gotten it for 40 on 2 other sites. I still saved money and am happy with my purchase but don't like the tactic of jacking up the value to possibly sell higher than its actual value.
Hi Karen! Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey!
The struck-out price shown is the suggested price of the item as provided by the seller. 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. Please see this link for more details: http://tinyurl.com/jeura4f
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.
Thank you and let us know if you have more questions.

Great prices, great products, fast shipping, havent been disappointed so far, but leaving a review with 100 characters is not always easy
I was satisfied with the items I bought. The only down side was gauging the size in inches. I also bought a 3XL shirt that was more like small, but overall, I am happy with every item.

I have bought several things thru TOPHATTER and some things have been nice and some have not. I have ordered things that have arrived broken or not as they appear in the picture. Sizes of items that are listed as cm, mm, ml, etc., also need to be listed by the system used in the US since we dont use the metric system. This could alleviate A LOT OF CONFUSION.
Hi Teri! Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey and I'm very sorry that our services haven't met your expectations.
Tophatter has strict guidelines which require sellers to accurately represent their items for sale. Our product review team has reached out to a few sellers who had misleading images and are working to ensure the listings are correct moving forward.
With this said, in an auction format, it's up to each buyer to review the item description prior to bidding, taking note of all key details, to decide the item is what's intended. Bidders decide how high they are willing to bid, and can stop bidding at any time.
Additionally, with our easy return policy, a return request can be open for an item for any reason within 30 days from delivery. See full details here: http://tinyurl.com/h7xokwj.
If you need assistance with any orders, please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated customer support team here: http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu.

I've had things arrive broken. I'm paying for S&H but the items come in a paper & slight bubble wrap envelope. So items are easily broken. Some items come without directions. Everything could and should be better.

To date I have bid on and won about a half dozen different items including a smart watch, in the ear blue tooth head set and a pocket watch. In total I've spent less than 20 bucks and all of the items I've received so far are excellent quality and well worth a hundred times what I paid. All of the items have arrived earlier than advertised and in perfect condition. I highly recommend this ap just for the sheer fun of it all.

Always find great deals and a very fair and stand by you items site. Always fixed any problems right away!
It's very addictive but very fun. I find myself on it all the time. I have gotten some really good deals on some nice items. My wife is even getting into it.
It is a fun app with a great selection at good prices. My biggest disappointment is the amount of time it takes to get my purchases.
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.
