Don't like the packaging, a lot of items should B shipped in it's original box not in a USPS package, which doesn't give very much protection, would of given 5 Stars except 4 packaging
Hi TC,
Thank you for your review.
We definitely want you to be completely satisfied with your experiences on Tophatter and I'm sorry to hear packaging of the items hasn't always met your expectations.
I encourage you to rate delivered items from the following link: https://tophatter.com/invoices/ratings or on the app under "More."
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.
We greatly appreciate your continued support and look forward to continuing to provide quality products at bargain prices.
KInd Regards,
Angelique

Please allow and encourage combined S/H fees. It is a huge flaw in your site to have your sellers rip off buyers on a regular basis!
Hi Don,
Thank you for your review.
We appreciate your feedback and I would like to let you know combined shipping is an option sellers on Tophatter may provide if you make multiple purchases from the same seller. Sellers may choose to refund some of the shipping paid if there was an overage; however, because combining items into one package increases the package weight, and because only the sellers can determine how much their postage and handling actually costs, we are unable to require sellers to reimburse any shipping costs.
We appreciate you shopping on Tophatter and look forward to continuing to provide a variety of quality products at bargain pricing.

I have purchased many things from Tophatter and most were of decent quality, however there have been many that were poor quality, sized wrong, or just rip offs. I bought a dress size 3X, would not fit my daughter who wears a large, way too tight.

MY only complaint was that I had a few (quite a few) products saved for later purchase, when I came on one day and most were gone! TOPHATTERS servers eliminated almost all of the products I found that I wanted to purchase at a later date. When I take the time to scan all the catalogs, I feel that a machine has no right to randomly erase the majority of these products!
Hi Thomas,
Thank you for taking the time to write your review and share your experience with us!
I'm terribly sorry for any inconvenience and disappointment this has caused and understand how time-consuming browsing the catalogs and setting reminders can be.
Please note that a large number of items were removed from the platform due to reasons such as; low rating, bad seller reviews, etc. This would be the only reason the reminders would be removed from your account. Otherwise, the option to remove a reminder is to manually click/tap the heart on the item listing and is not performed by a machine.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we continuously work to improve the buyer experience. Thanks again for your review and continued support.
Warm regards,
Angelique
Over all its good but mobile app need work on the inbox cant delete an unused discount from feb. And can only review and post once but cant add or adjust your review or look up all review ( from my usage)
The quick auctions are fun and I've gotten great deals on several smallish items. I've gotten my son some really great looking hoodies and myself some small electronics and nice-looking jewelry, and some other fun stuff like a kitten purse and artistic elephant wall hangings/scarves. I've picked up several neat little gifts for family members and really love this site, go to it often.
Hi Lynne,
Thank you for your review.
I’m so happy to hear you're able to find products you love for those most important to you, friends and family members. We look forward to continuing to provide a variety of quality products at bargain pricing.

Most of the items are great and as titled, but there are many false advertisements concerning the smart watches and the jewelry being falsely advertised as real gold and when received it is stamped with silver, things marked that they are pure silver come back and have no silver in them whatsoever
Hi Ric,
Thank you for your review.
We want all of your experiences on Tophatter to be wonderful and I'm sorry to hear that hasn't always been the case.
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.

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.
