The products I have purchased have all been junk. Nothing quality about it. China garbage. Some of the items took several weeks to get. Unless your ok with a lesser quality product that will probably break very quickly, then stay away from this site. I could find better things to do with my money.
Tophatter can't find my missing order. Full of excuses. However they keep sending me E mail's to place additional orders. They certainly have a sense of hummer. HA HA
Cyril,
For us to assist with any issues with not receiving items or otherwise, we need the order number of the item in reference. Please provide the order number for the 'Oil Disfusser' and I'm happy to review the details. You can review your orders under the My Orders page.
Additionally, when your item is coming from a different country it takes a bit longer to receive than domestic mail. Because of this, there is an extended 60 day shipping time allowed for cross border transactions. See full details here: http://tinyurl.com/zfc5lpn

Bought over 18 items. All but one were junk! Most came from china and took forever to arrive Found some of the same items at My local $store cheaper and no shipping charg! Yes you can return items for yet another shipping charge! My mailman told Me the shipping prices are inflated, shipping is much less. One article was discribed as a laser level turned out to be watch repair magnified glasses?
So far I am very happy with almost everything I have received, HOWEVER, I purchased a wig that was very nice but not quite as pictured and too small. They were very happy to credit me with $12 towards shipping my return (total was only $28 which incl shipping). BUT you have to return it with tracking. I live in central Canada and the tiny package was going to cost $72 for tracking. So I am stuck with it. So don't count on returning anything because they are very quick to let you know that's YOUR problem.
If your a seller beware, you will be giving all your profit to tophatter. Off a $6.00 sale you'll pay 2.08 and most items only sell for 8 to 10 dollars but your fee will be around 3 or 3.50. After buying your prod shipping and tophatter you. Ll be broke stay away. They have a partner program 500 products a week or more maybe fee's for that are lower and you might make a few dollars but stick to ebay is my advice tophatter is through the roof with their fees

Sharlene,
I'm very sorry to hear you haven't had a great experience while shopping on Tophatter.
Tophatter has very strict policies in place to make sure sellers are representing items correctly. If you have a question about a specific price you see please write our support directly so we can investigate; http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu.
By viewing the item description a items material is available for all jewelry items. In an auction format, it's up to each buyer to review the item description prior to bidding, taking note of all key details, to decide what is a fair or reasonable price based on the value he or she places on the item. Bidders decide how high they are willing to bid, and can stop bidding at any time.
I hope you'll consider trying Tophatter again in the future!
Warm regards,
Felicia
I have bought quite a lot from this site, but wished I had waited for at least 2 or 3 to arrive then I would have known not to get carried away, as most of it is Chinese junk, not worth what they say it is. Anyone that says it is great must have more money than sense. If you send something back it costs a fortune, and Tophatter will give you something towards your postage costs to be spent on their site. Duh! Best to pay through Paypal as they will sort out most of your problems.
Sylvia,
I'm sorry to hear you have not been pleased with some of your orders. Please note when the buyer and seller are located in different countries, we are unable to provide free return shipping labels for these cross-border transactions. In these cases, buyers may receive a store credit to offset some of the cost of returning the item at their own expense. Once your return tracking shows the item has been shipped back to the seller or delivered to the seller a full refund is always issued back to your payment source used at the time of payment.

I purchased a 1 oz 24k gold coin from David Kepping thinking that it will be real gold only to find out it was really fake gold or fools gold.
Reginald,
I reviewed the description for Order #30879946 and see the seller states the material to be Gold Clad, with a Gold color. I'm sorry to hear you were displeased with the purchase.

Items like the 7" tablets suggested retail of $1599. Come on be real these tablets retail at $40 On eBay all day. IPad does not retail that much. As seen on TV items retail $19.99 at best not $59. Still if ylu stayed glued and stick to the price ypu want to pay amd can wait 12-16 business day fpr shipping it's a good deal.

Some items you sell are of poor quality, others are worth the price and more.
I don't have time to send back items that are not what's advertised. I ordered online so I don't have to go out shopping
I've always found Tophatter to be a fun auction. They are very good about accepting returns when necessary.
Very excellent way to shop for various items at good prices. Some low cost items are of poor quality or don't meet advertised specifications. Items originating from China have inadequate instructions and are virtually unusable. This applies mostly to cameras and lenses. Considering you get at very low prices, you get what you pay for.
I would not bid high prices for any item offered. Stop at $10 - $15 or what you are willing to lose.
Everything that I have purchased has been exactly as advertised, and delivery has been prompt. I Love this App.
Most things take a couple weeks to arrive, but the price is worth the wait! If the item doesn't show up or isn't as described they will refund your account. The auction is a fun way to get bargains!
They stand behind the products and its so much fun seeing whats out there. Very addicting when so many products at low prices
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.
