I bid on a teeth whitener product and what I received was a plastic toy looking object with a little light on the end of it, with no teeth whitener polish included. As if placing that little Xmas tree light in front of your teeth is actually going to work as a teeth whitener. If that were true I could have just used one of my extra Xmas tree lights that I already have... They should be honest in the descriptions of their products, although that would be too much like right these days. I decided to not even bother sending it back for a refund, not worth it. So I would suggest only "purchasing " items made in USA on top hatter but with caution.
Tophatter is great for picking up a little extra gift for someone! The prices cant be beat and shipping is low priced, with quick turn around.

Cheap useless stuff... takes ages to get delivered and is crap... most of this stuff is cheaper on Ebay... one of the things i bought was a coedless charger, the lights go on and thats about it, very disappointing, old saying, you get what you pay for. And no i haven't raised a dispute as it will just be a waist of my time.
Hi Frank,
I reviewed your Order details and see that you've opened a return request. A full refund was immediately issued on October 27,2017, and there is no need to return the item for this transaction.
You will see your funds return to your bank account/statement within 3-5 business days. If you have questions concerning your refund, contact the number on the back of your bank card.
Thank you, have a pleasant day.
Felicia
Really enjoy the bidding experience. It is fast and fun. On top of that, you can get some really great bargains.
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.

Hi Toya,
I'm extremely sorry to hear you were disappointed with the Order #29303723. Due to the time to return lapsing (over 30 day) and no refund eligible, I have applied a $5 store credit to your account.
This credit will automatically apply to your first purchase of $6 or more but will expire in 2 weeks if unused. I hope you're able to use your credit towards a nice item of interest.
Warm regards,
Felicia
