Bought a few products worth their cost. I have bought many items that were poorly made Chinese knock offs that take weeks to arrive just to disappoint with the laughable quality.

Know what you are bidding on!
February 18, 2021

Although you CAN get some deals you have to not get carried away in the bidding.
Know and research what you want. See the item and then go to amazon and search for the item to see what the actual price there is.
Another problem is that if you win an amazing deal the seller will not ship and when you ask them where is my item? After a week when not shipped, you get a refund.
That is not fair selling practices! I will definitely be reporting this practice if it happens again.
Not very happy right now with this bid site and will be spreading the word to as many as I can and interested if this review even makes it to the review site.
Good luck people!

Poor Delivery Time
May 26, 2018

TopHatter would be an excellent site if its distribution center was located here in the US to decrease the delivery time from as much as one month which would make TopHatter very convenience. I think many users, like myself, use TopHatter because we are lovers of auctions.

We have bought many items recently thinking they were "real" items only to realize upon receipt that they are cheap knock-offs. We have returned a few and most likely will return more. For example I ordered 3 Trump hats but two came in partially crushed and look crappy. I will keep them but better care could have been taken with shipping. My wife bought several pocketbook items and they are shoddy - loose threads, incomplete corners. I will monitor your site but will keep a sharp eye on what we bid on.

Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey, Roger and I'm terribly sorry your overall experience did not meet expectations.

We hope you'll be delighted with every purchase, but 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. Full details on our return policy can be located in our FAQ here: http://tinyurl.com/h7xokwj.

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 (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.

Buyers 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.

Best regards,
Graciela

I have been happy with about 50 percent of what I received. I got game systems just in a mailing envelope. No Box! 2 were cracked but I am not sending the stuff back to China. The 50 percent I was happy with was just because it was a low price. 5 out of 6 clothing items I won were cancelled by the seller with no reason.

Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey, Robert and 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.

Please also be advised that if you have a problem with a purchase or feel you didn't receive what was described we have a generous return policy; 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.
