The company has garnered a mixed reputation among customers, with notable strengths in its engaging auction format and a diverse range of products that some users find enjoyable and affordable. 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.

Tophatter has great prices! Everything does start at one dollar bidding not like other sites! Tophatters customer service is always on top of problems such as items not being delivered on time or items being delivered damaged. I LOVE THIS SITE!

It is an auction so if the price is more than you want to pay just don't bid again. I have had some good things and some not so good. As these items come from different suppliers the quality is not always uniform. I have got some nice jewellery cheap prices. I like it but you get what you pay for and after a short time even some of the ones sold as 'silver' aren't, the coating is wearing off, but then you can't expect real silver unless you pay a higher price. Tophatter are very good at immediately refunding you if you have a problem.

Tophatter is a fun shopping site! The prices you pay are what you bid. I received many great Christmas gifts for my grandkids this year. And I check the site every day as there are new items added every day.

Very addictive! Bought things almost everyday! There are always something interesting you will want, especially when you have a chance to get it for cheaper. I MUST force myself to turn the computer off, otherwise I may go broke very soon!.

Have only been shopping with tophatter for about 2 months and everything about them is great. Delivery advice, confirmations, customer service is better than most of other on line shopping sites. Fully recommend to any newcomers.

I have found Madhatter a great experience. Items have all arrived, and when I did have a problem with one (turned out the posties fault) they were very quick, and great help with my inquiries. Also, I bid on something accidently, and they refunded me straight away.

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.
