The company has garnered a mixed reputation among customers, with notable strengths in its engaging auction format and a diverse range of products that some users find enjoyable and affordable. 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 wish there was more time to pull up things and read them. I'm an insanely fast reader, but even I have issues reading while live bidding. Perhaps a "Coming up in the next hour" section where we can preview things, make sure they come in a size we need (or quantity), or READ REVIEWS, before we start bidding.
Some is great some isnt have 2 items to return no printer available for attaching a mailing address need a shipping address to return to please expediting this matter would increase your value to me

Hi Rexio,
Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry that the items offered on Tophatter didn't meet expectations. 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.
If you have a problem with an item, I recommend contacting our customer support team here http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu for help with the matter.
We hope you'll continue to check out the items on Tophatter as we bring in exciting new supply over the coming months.
Kind Regards,
Angelique

Being relatively new to Tophatter, I have bid successfully on only a few items. Except for one item, the items arrived as scheduled and in good condition. A set of Bluetooth headphones arrived with sound from one side only. Tophatter immediately refunded the entire cost of the headphones. In my book, Tophatter deserves a rating of A+++++.

Pros:
You do not have to pay for bids.
Instant gratification
Many times on a low bid won item, they ask if you want to trade your win for a generous amount of bids.
There are American venders in which the quality and description are accurate.
Cons
There appears to be no regulation on sellers.
Many items are junk and falsely advertised. I have been burned a lot.
They only post select reviews that are very positive, so buyer beware.
Many of the sellers are from China and items take a long time and poor quality.

I have had many wonderful shopping experiences with Tophatter. The only problem I had was handled efficiently and quickly by customer service. I would recommend Tophatter to everyone. There are other online auction sites but Tophatter is by far the best.

Have bought some really nice stuff, some has been basically junk, so pay attention to what you bid on - and really pay attention to the shipping cost. Look at the reviews of others. I'm learning to do that before I bid and buy. Some deals are awesome... others. Buyer beware.

I stumbled across Tophatter on Facebook and always loving an auction, I went to check it out. The prices were awesome! I bought a ring, cool pillow case and leggings and spent under $20.00 for all of it! I got it all within 2 weeks! I love what I bought, the prices were great and I'll be back to shop the auctions again, soon!

I have been pleased with one to two items out of the 15 or so i have ordered. They are very good at tricking you into thinking youre buying something different. I will never purchase anything on this site again. Its unfortunate that i bought everything on a whim that night and didnt figure out everything was junk before purchasing more

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.

Hi Jan,
Thank you for your review.
I realize the auction can go quickly, and I encourage you to set reminders for items to give you more time to read the item description. Reminders can be set for items by clicking the heart icon, or by clicking Set a Reminder.
We will notify you that an item is coming up for auction shortly before it opens for bids and when you click the reminder, you will be taken to the live auctions where your item will open for bids in a few minutes. This gives you time to read up on the item before bidding.
We are always striving to make our customer experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. To that end, we value suggestions and thank you for yours. I will be sure to pass along your suggestion to offer an item "coming up" status 1 hour before the auction opens.
Have a wonderful time shopping on Tophatter.
Kind Regards,
Angelique
