Not too happy
August 6, 2017

I will probably stop ordering. I haven't recieved several items, and several came with no instructions and the ones that did are worthless. I can't read Chinese. The clothing sizes are out to lunch. I ordered a large and got a size that fit midget.

It is really tricky buying most items, because the description doesn't always match the piece you are bidding on. When you are dissatisfied they tell you to return the merchandise. Most of their items are mailed from China and it is extremely expensive to mail the item back. Why spend more money than you paid to get a refund! It is outright deceptive and fraudulent on their part to sell this kind of merchandise. They should be stopped in their tracks and charged with fraud. CHEATS & LIARS!

I purchased several pieces of jewelry for gifts, only purchase ones that state sterling silver 925. I bought a supposed RUBY ring in a 925 sterling silver setting. My daughter wore it everyday as it was her birthstone, within 2 weeks her finger turned green and broke out. Since I purchased the ring prior to her birthday and then her wearing it for 2 weeks, Tophatter stated they would not refund as it was over 30 days! WTH? The ring is NOT sterling silver and the ruby is glass! I am nervous now as I've given the other pieces away, knowing sooner or later they too will turn green and cause infections. I escalated my case to PayPal which now states they will NO longer deal with this garbage fraudulent company. Oh, did I mention also they tried to make me pay for auctions I never even bid on? You've been warned!

Refund
August 6, 2017

Beware if the seller doesn't get the price they want they just hold out hoping you'll cancel. I didn't cancel so the buyer got to instead after holding my money for a month. I tried customer service but the site they tell me to go to won't come up.

ON THE MOST PART OK, BUT HORRIBLE SELLERS SUCH AS ZNU GET AWAY WITH CANCELING LOW BID ITEMS, HAVE DONE THIS FOR NO REASON AND NOW HAVE BLOCKED ME FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AT ALL. WHEN YOU TRY TO REPORT THIS, CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY
IGNORE YOU. IT'S NOT HOW A BUSINESS SHOULD BE RUN. I THOUGHT WHEN YOU HAVE A WINNING BIT IT SHOULD AND OUGHT TO BE A BINDING LEGAL AGREEMENT.
ABSOLUTELY STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING
ZNU. THERE IS A ZNU-EXPLORER, A ZNU DREAM STORE, JUST ANYTHING ZNU.
THEY ARE CROOKS IN MY OPINION.
I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
IN TOPHATTER MERCHANDISE. I ENJOY THE SITE, AND IT IS QUITE ADDICTIVE.
I WILL SAY THEY ARE MUCH BETTER
IN MONITORING THE SELLERS. BUT,
I HAVE HAD IT WITH SELLERS LIKE
ZNU AND WISH TOPHATTER WOULD
PUT A STOP IN THE ILLEGAL WAYS OF
SELLERS SUCH AS ZNU--STOP! THINK!
AND STAY AWAY FROM THAT SELLER!
TOPHATTER PLEASE DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THESE TYPES OF SELLARS WHO
REFUND YOUR MONEY BECAUSE A BUYER
WAS PATIENT AND KEPT TRYING FOR A LOWER PRICE. YOU ARE GREEDY! AND YOU KNOW WHO I AM! HOW DARE YOU BE SO
INCREDIBLY MONEY HUNGRY AND FINALLY BLOCK ME. MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. 99.9 % OF THE SELLERS ARE FAIR AND THANK YOU FOR BEING FAIR.

My purchases from Tophatter
August 5, 2017

I was very satisfied except the last watch I purchased doesn't keep time and all the rings turn my fingers green and the fancy watch I received turns my arm green.

Fun and great merchandise
August 3, 2017

I love Tophatter! Beautiful jewelry! My only problem has been with clothing from China. It is very small. I wish the items from over seas could be marked on the picture so you could know up front what you are bidding on. The bidding is always fun. The customer service is very good. Thanks!

Experience with Tophatters
August 4, 2017

For the most part, your merchandise was nice. However, there have been times when I bid on something, won, and the merchandise looked cheap, not at all like the picture.
