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.

Easy site to use. Products overall are quite nice. Quick shipping and easy payment methods. Pictures of products are good and descriptive.
I love bidding on Tophatter. I get all excited when the that yellow line is gone and the red one telling me that i'm winning, then "bam" I WON... I bid all hours of the day and night, even if i can't sleep at 3:00 am i'm bidding... i love it. And the great thing about it is if i didn't win, there's a chance i can still catch that item on another site...

Enjoyable bidding on stuff. Would be nice if we could get a better description of the products. Some of the things I notice take 4-6 weeks I was surprised with amazon stuff getting in 2 days
Hi Larry,
Thank you for your review.
Tophatter has strict policies in place which require sellers to accurately represent their items. However, we understand that some items may not be as described and our team has been diligently working to improve seller performance and the overall buyer experience. To help us achieve our goal of ridding the auction of misleading products buyers have the option to rate their delivered items. 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. For these reasons we encourage you to rate the products you have purchased, although doing so is not required.
In terms of shipping on Tophatter we have an extended ship time of 30 days domestically and 60 days for all international shipments. If your item is not delivered within this time, please contact us and we'd be happy to help further. See full details here: https://tinyurl.com/ybho8k6y. Thank you for being a valued member of the Tophatter community.
Kind Regards,

Everything I got for the family and friends for the Christmas holiday was great and they loved their gifts. I even got myself/mom some things as well. Thus far there has been no issues with 99% of the items gotten and i'm still ordering. It's my go to spot when I need something from household to my car. Great site to be on. It's almost addictive.

I've had more positive experiences with Tophatter than any other biding site. You don't have to pay for bids. Most of all, what I get is what's advertised and if there's a problem with what you received, no problem, just contact and return. Excellent...

TopHatter always has great products up for auction and the bidding is always free. Granted, you may be put off by some of the generic packaging, but the savings more than make up for not having some flashy carton to throw away. And if you ever need customer service, TopHatter's reps are the best in the business.

This site sure had me sold from the products I've ordered to the customer service. This is a no joke site and they back up everything they say. Their customer service agents are fast with answering questions and very informative. I would recommend Tophatter to all my friends wanting to but on online auctions

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.
