TOPHATTER IS A GREAT, EXCITING WAY TO SHOP GREAT PRODUCTS AND FAST SHIPPING. IF YOU LIKE BIDDING OR BUYING NEAT PRODUCTS THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE 24-71 LUV IT!
My experience has been, to a very great extent, better than I had originally expected. I was so surprised when a couple of my first purchases were "fine" with me, although not exactly what I had expected them to be. Imagine my surprise when I was immediately given a full refund! They didn't even expect me to return the items, they said I could keep them or throw them away! I have gotten so many compliments on the jewelry I have purchased with Tophatter! All in all, it has been a very pleasant experience and I have recommended Tophatter to my friends.

Items have been coming pretty quickly/good price on items/shipping cost is high and sometimes 10 times the cost of the item.
Thank you for your feedback William and I am sorry that the shipping cost did not meet expectations. Shipping prices are specified by the Seller as only the Seller can account for all their costs in sending an item. The shipping costs are displayed prior to bidding.
I made a return of a purchase and they claimed they did not receive it. They charged my PayPal account back without me being aware of. I had to pay PayPal back for a piece of junk I did not keep in order to keep my account open
Hi Rosi, we are terribly sorry to hear this. Please contact directly our Customer Support Team and provide them with your order number so we can investigate. We can be reached via email here: http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu. Thank you.
Having quickly become addicted to the site, a few of MANY orders have already quickly arrived and are as expected for the best price ever. A couple of issues thanx to Canada post were very well handled by Tophatter customer service. Be sure not to cancel 2 order especially when new and learning as they will suspend your account for 7 days. O well money spent elsewhere and a lesson learnt. Still love it

Fun bidding, good prices, about 3/4 of what I have gotten though are not acceptable. Don't look like pictures, broken, tacky. A few thinks I have requested a refund. Waiting to see if my card reflect refund then I may continue

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.
