I'm very sorry that our services haven't met your expectations. Tophatter has strict guidelines which require sellers to accurately represent their items for sale. Our product review team has reached out to a few sellers who had misleading images and are working to ensure the listings are correct moving forward.
Thanks again for your review.
Kind regards,

Enjoy shopping on Tophatter for the great deals. Really like the bling section. My kind of place to unwind after day at work.

It's a lot of fun looking at the diverse products on Tophatter. It's also a lot of fun "competing" (bidding) for them.
But most of all you can find something you need or want at a great price and quality, particularly if you're a good bidder.
Or if you would rather, you can go the the Browse section and buy outright!
I take a look a least 1x per day, usually more!

I'm sorry I haven't rated my or your Items yet. You see the post office is holding all our mail till w get home from Florida. It's a vacation we have planned for over a year. So I do really love this site and I have lots of fun just about every day. I get some junk and stuff I love to play with. I will rate every item when we get home and I open everything and make sure nothings broke. In fact I'm excited to get home and pick up everything from the post office. I've explained this to support and never got a reply. However I can still buy and bid here from my laptop. Thanks for the e-mail so I could explain. Gary

All items I have received have been poorly made. Of my four purchases none have made me happy. The ear buds have terrible sound, the wallet strap is not even the same color, the car organizer looks like a child made it. I will never buy here again.

I am sincere when I tell you that TopHatter is a barrel of fun. I have discovered that I cannot help but place a bid when I surf the items for sale. It isn't an addiction (although it is close). It is great fun. It's like a competitive sport. It's you against the other folks. A win is a victory and the item is the trophy. I love it!

I love Tophatter. If you miss a bid you can have a reminder. You can also buy things out right. I did buy a fitness watch that only came with instructions in Chinese, which was a problem but figured it out.

Everything I have bought from Tophatter is great- the whole process is such fun and the deals are incredible- I am totally addicted now and that is the only problem! The only other one is that everything comes from China and I prefer to buy Made in USA but that is why the deals are so good...

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.
