Bought four items the first time I bid on the site to see what it was all about. Delivery for all four was sooner than the estimated delivery date. Quality was great on some items, acceptable for others. All were great values for the price paid. Tophatter kept me informed on purchases, when ready to ship and shipment time. Great site!
Everything I purchased from there theres always something wrong with it either I get the complete wrong item not even the item I ordered I get a total opposite item if I do get the correct item somethings wrong with it it is a broke missing instructions Ill broken and missing instructions cheaply made ever like its supposed to be every once in a while Ill get something and itll be OK but 90% of the time everything is a screwup one way or another I really enjoyed top hatter seems like everything that I purchased is very cheaply made jewelry is not what it said to me are you get the jewelry and theres a piece of wire holding the jewelry together I dont see how folks jewelry would send out something like that and they dont even return anybodys money you want me to pay to ship items back that I already paid to have shipped to me so I have to pay for shipping to get it have to pay for shipping to send it back I might as will just keep the garbage thrown away its cheaper Ive really stop buying a lot from you guys used to spend a lot of money with you guys now I dont really like it on there to check to see if an item shipped because once Im completed that all my stuff Im not gonna buy from your company anymore though sorry Ive been going through you guys for three years and its just gotten really bad very discouraging and I liked would be better live better stuff but unfortunately those shut that down

Purchased items to see if Tophatter was legit. Slow shipping but items were better than expected. I will take slower shipping any day for the price. Just wouldn't buy if item is needed ASAP.

For the most part, every thing been good on Tophatter site. When an issue does arise it is resolved in a timely manner. I would say, make sure you read ALL the fine print before you bid on a item. Most of the merchandise is pretty much what you would expect for the price paying for them. Don't expect to get top of the line merchandise for a few dollars.
Everything I have ordered has been great. Also comes on time will be checking back often for things I want.

I like the auctIon. I wish the sellers would put the size fthe stones in jewelry. Some of the Pictures are very misleading
Hi Linda,
Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry to hear some of the pictures have been misleading.
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 :// tophatter. Com/topics/Buying/subtopics/Buyer%20Issues/questions/Is%20there%20Buyer%20Protection%3F) 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.

There seems to be errors with items sent. There are often little things I should send back but instead I try to fix it myself. It usually takes a substantial amount of time to fix. I sometimes receive items with the wrong color. It seems that it takes forever to get a response from support. I always explain the problem on the feedback for rating the item. I usually sent an email to the support team. There are times when I get a response right away and other times I must send a second or third explanation to the support team.
Hi Linda,

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.
