I had mostly a positive experience but some of the products are in zoom mode and don't come in the size they show. Just just be careful when buying
Bought an item that did not come close to what was advertised, very disappointed. Wrote a email to tophatter saying so. Within minutes they refunded my money and said to keep the item. Never saw such service from any company. A-A-A-A in my book.

Take a look at tophatter and you will see that there is NO information on the item you are bidding on! WHY? Does the term, SMOKE AND MIRRORS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU? You run a risk of NOT receiving what you paid for or item is much SMALLER then it looks or DOES NOT WORK or of REALLY POOR QUALITY!

I'm new to this, but I'm enjoying Tophatter. Great prices, and if it starts to get too high, I simply drop out. I bought a great tablet and protective cover, and a set of five silver rings that my daughter loves.

Tophatter is great fun, a variety of items
But be careful with electric stuff- often not in English! But returning items is easy and service is excellent, its highly addictive and so much craic! Give it a go, best auction site by far!
Just careful of electric items
And watch estimated date of delivery- they are correct with dates- but it takes a while (also often delivery is more than item! Be careful!)

The prices are good, and the products are quality for the most part. Something goes wrong, like in shipping, and Tophatter makes it right. Only had a couple snags in over $300.00 in purchases.

I have purchased several things from this site, and most of the time have been well satisfied with the quality of the items up for bid. But like any site you run into that item that turns out to be a lemon. Tophatter goes the extra mile to see to a buyers satisfaction, and works quickly to insure a quick refund. For any sub-par item that it lists. You really cannot ask for anything more then that.
Hi James! Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey!

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.

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. You can bid with confidence.
