Tophatter is an upstanding site for bidding quickly on merchandise from a variety of merchants worldwide. I find new things everyday at low cost and most are as good or better than represented in the bidding process. Issues with unwanted items are easily handled at Tophatter, too. Reimbursement for damage to your merchandise is automatic upon submitting a legitimate complaint. This is not a common issue. I have ordered a hundred times over, at least and five stars goes to most items.
Everything has been as shown. Very reliable for every item. I havent had to return any items. Can count on it being delivered when they said it would.

This whole experience with Tophatter seemed exciting but every product has been not at all worth the auctioned prices and many sellers photos do not match the product you receive. Tophatter customer service was great, but the sellers are for the most part rip-offs. Out of about 30 items I bid on and won, I am okay with only 8 things. The rest were total junk and waste of money and time.

Most consistent 5 stars are rings and coins. Most bracelets and earrings are ok. Some necklaces and their chains are nice, but the rose gold one have cheap looking chains. Sizes seem to be hard to judge. Every stoned jewelry should have a karat size and a photo of a hand wearing the ring. Large earrings should be shown on a model. They make good on broken or incorrect items. They sell coins single, pairs and sets. My big problem is when they sell singles, there are multiple coins in the picture which leads you to believe your are bidding on a set.

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.
