I've purchased over 50 items from Tophatter and have gotten some really great deals. However many items though from china may look good but quality is subpar, often not worth shipping costs to even return item.
I appreciate that you take care of things if there something that is not right with a order and for really caring about what we think of the product when we get. Thank you very much I have order about a hundred things on here only had 3 so far that I didn't care for and you took care of that right away. Ty. Rosetta Gibson

Cheap $#*! made to look like the real thing. Look very carefully for the word copy or tribute to etc. many coins have misrepresenting pics for what you might get.
You think you bid on a silver dollar and you get a copy the size of a dime.

TopHatter has done fine for me but I can no longer do business with you because of shipping method. The Post Office lost two of my ordered items! The Post Office says that tracking shows that they were delivered to my mail box but I assure you they were not. The Post Office says case is closed and I lose my money. I want to take the Post Office to small claims court. (Thank You)
Hi James,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
I realize how frustrating it must be to bid and get a great deal on an item you love, only to find it never makes it to your home. I'm truly sorry that this happened.
Tracking numbers are used to confirm the delivery of packages to buyers, and these transactions are considered successfully completed unless the item arrives at an incorrect location.
We understand that sometimes packages become lost or stolen after delivery. Unfortunately, we are unable to cover these situations under our Buyer Protection, see full details here https://tinyurl.com/yc6sdknh
What I was able to do as a one-time courtesy is issue a store credit on your account in the amount of $5.00. This store credit will automatically apply to your next purchase of $6.00 or more and expires in two weeks. I hope this helps.
Thank you for being a valued customer.
Kind Regards,
Angelique

This is the worst $1.00 bidding site there is, the quality looks nothing like the pictures, they have a way of making you believe youre getting a great deal on whatever it is youre bidding on, I have bid and purchased my last item on here when and if I ever get my winnings, the wait time and tracking on it is AWFUL. If I want to buy cheap useless plastic crap, Ill just stick to the Dollar Tree and Family Dollar here in the United States. Youve been warned on their low quality products.

This is really a fun place to shop. It moves fast and you know right away if you have won the item you have bid on. Shipping isn't the best, very slow so you need to shop very early 1 month plus if you are buying a gift for someone. If it were not for the shipping this would be an excellent place to shop. It is fun however.

I just love this site and its lots of fun too.

This site is great. Easy to use, and fun bidding against other people. I have bought a good amount of jewelry and I would say 95% of it is very pretty, size is right on and it looks real. I get lots of compliments. The greatest thing is if you get something that doesn't look right or doesn't fit they will refund your money no questions asked. I love some of the clothing but if your curvy don't get it.

Tophatter is a new, refreshing approach to onsite auctions! It's fast-paced, fun and exciting. And, the option of a direct buy rather than bid on the products is an innovative idea, because the "set" prices are truly a bargain! Bookmark this site TODAY!

I've been very pleased with just about every item I've purchased and found the bidding process a great deal of fun too! Most of all, I am amazed at the great customer service I've received. On the rare occasion when a package was lost, I wished to return an item, or something arrived damaged... the problem was taken care of quickly and courteously.

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.
