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.

I've gotten some good stuff here but everything take a month to arrive. Everything is from China, That's ok, most of it works good.
I've been waiting on a watch for almost 2 months so 3 stars it is!
I'm a little upset that a few of my returns have not populated a return label. Am I liable for the return if it is under a certain price? Very confusing that some have labels and others just say "return in same package."
Hi Beth,
Thank you for taking the time to write your review! We greatly appreciate your support.
Please note that all return request outcomes are automated, and determined by various factors. When a return request is initiated, depending on those factors, some percentage of refunds may be provided without return of the item being required. Some percentage of return requests may be provided with free return shipping labels provided to the buyer. Beyond a threshold, the cost of returning an item with tracking in order to receive a full refund is at the buyer's expense.
When sellers have a high return rate for certain reasons (damage, wrong item, doesn't match description), they receive strong selling penalties for failing to follow our guidelines. Our system detects this and applies the penalty automatically so no further action is required on your part.

Tophatter can be fun sometimes but know that the jewelry stamped. 925 and advertised as Sterling is cheap plated stuff. There are a few sites on Ebay that sell the same the same jewelry that Tophatter sells but most of those Chinese companies call there jewelry ". 925 Silver"... which is still stretching the truth but if you aren't smart enough to know that it isn't Sterling and that is why they aren't saying it is, you get what you pay for. Ebay is a better choice unless you just like the "rush" on an auction where you will pay a lot more. BTW- if you buy on Tophatter and the item comes from China, you may be asked to pay return shipping - NEVER do that if the Seller lied about the item being Sterling.

I bought upwards of 20+ items... all but about 5 were just junk... Cheap made in China crap... Although I did get refunds on most of the crap, the false descriptions and over priced shipping made this whole experience a headache... Never again, will I buy another item from TOPHATTER, and I have already told friends and social media to stay clear.

Somethings are nice worth the money but others are so cheap not worth even a dollar I've received a few items that i feel like returning
I have been pleased with most of my purchases. I enjoy the site and the quick buy time. I like how the bidding goes pretty fast. I did receive a ring where two very little side stones fell out the first day I wore it. The mermaid ring I ordered for my daughter was "huge" it looked petite in the picture. But I enjoy the site very much

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.
