Quality products quality process on time delivery or sooner. Family loved the gifts they received for Christmas. They have gifts for any occasions and reasonable.
Just opened my 4.4 Inch 11.5cm LCD Writing Tablet Digital Drawing Tablet Handwriting Pads Portable Electronic Tablet Board. Complete deception of product on website. Doesn't look anything like the picture on site. Screen had yellow stains and yellow fuzz on corners of screen. Complete garbage. Doesn't even look like a dollar store product, more like a quarter store product. I contacted company and was issued a refund. Will never ever shop on that site again. Al the nice pictures they display are complete false. Its coming from china and its very cheap.
Hi Greg,
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 for the patience,

Ordering and paying is a snap. One item I ordered wasn't what is was described at. No questions asked was refunded in seconds. Think all websites should be like this.

I was very apprehensive at first but shipments started to come and i became addicted! Prices are cheap but watch shipping costs and wait for a cheaper one. Not always the quality you might expect but you pay for what you get. Sometimes instructions are difficult to understand but generally I like the site! Have fun!

Wouldn't recommend it
Believe that the names that tell u of the people bidding are fake to make u bid more
Also the stuff is cheap and tacky and u can find all the exact same items on eBay for alot cheaper
Some of th watches on here are like £10-£15
But on eBay the same exact watch can be purchased for £2-£3 including postage?
Doesn't make sense too me I suppose it's just for the fun of bidding but if ur looking for a bargain the same items are on eBay for less than half the price
Hi John,
I'm sorry to hear our services didn't meet your expectations.
Please be advised that it's a real auction and fair bidding process. Please note that the timer is 90 seconds, and it resets with every bid.
On the other hand, because buyers bid on items, the selling price reflects the demand at that moment. I hope you'll continue to check out the items on Tophatter and find that deal you're looking for!

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.
