This website is fun, exciting, thrilling, and even addicting. I'm saving money and purchasing items at a fraction of their regular costs. Customer Service is also very supportive, friendly, and goes out of their way to assist you. I feel like I have won the lottery and I may never shop retail again. THANK YOU Tophatter!
My bidding has to stop for now.
Hubby's unable to work for now.

Back soon!
Hi Tina,

Thank you kindly for your continued support of Tophatter! We appreciate you!
Warm regards,

Tophatters is so addictive I have to literally make myself stay off the site. It seams every time I go on the site I see something I just have to bid on. I tell myself Im just going to look but I always end up bidding on an item or 2 or 3 so I have to not go on it
Ordered 3 items and asked for a refund. Still haven't received my money back. Although there was a us post office tracking number and phone number which when called confirms return delivery. Still nothing.
Hi Pamela,
I reviewed your account details and although calling the USPS to confirm a tracking number is not Tophatters procedure, I took the time to do so and your tracking number is not valid, as explained by our customer support staff.
In order to ensure fair decisions are made in regards to returns, a valid tracking number is always required. Please provide me with a valid tracking number that can be traced through the USPS website and a full refund will definitely be processed.
If a tracking number cannot be provided, I'm sorry but we cannot require a refund in this instance.
Thank you for your understanding!

I look in on Tophatter often to see what's fun and interesting. I've bought many items and like what I get. It's easy, trouble free for the most part and if there is a problem, it's solved very quickly. I recommend it to others often.
TH is the middle-man in their business, and they will NOT force responsibility on the conniving sellers, overseas. They are scamming too many people out of money, though they don't take it seriously because their items are so inexpensive... and CHEAP. Don't fall into this nasty business, and their so called "deals".
This is the best site ever I find myself coming back several times a day to see what selling I was buying so much my bank shut me down... And I needed to breath
I bought sneakers and when I tracked it said the item was left in the mailbox or near the mailbox I live on a busy street so someone has my sneakers next I ordered a 3 pc jewelry St its been a month and a half and its still in China Wrote to Top Hatter a couple of times but no response They suck
I love what they have to offer. There are a few problems like all sites but they at least work with you to resolve the issues. So many different things offered you never know where to start and what to go for first.
Great site and great fun, addictive! Sometimes items take a long time to get them, but overall very satisfied with my purchases!
I had items I bought that looked beautiful and I lost them due to defects or they broke right away. I had items that looked like crap (tarnished earrings); items that didn't work when I got them. Just realize that you are buying cheap stuff (although the last 2 things I bought were not cheap, especially with the shipping added on), and that it is not going to last long. I have nothing left that I purchased... it's all gone from having it fall off my body or breaking right away or not working when I got it. Waste of money.
I have purchased many things & they were at I expected. I had a couple of disputes which I receive a full discount for. Such a great range of every thing. I get an email daily & I look into the site asap. All round a great place to buy for people like me & other low income earners.
Tophatter is a very awesome app I love the jewelry and awesome prices one of the best app to download!
I love this site it is a addiction, You can get items at a real good price I recommend this live auction site to all.
I do like some of your products but was very disappointed in the plant seeds I followed all direction and they fail to grow I have a very good hand for planting but the quality of the the seeds is very poor. The only good seeds I received late but were a good batch was the hibiscus which are growing slowly but surely,,,,,, was very disappointed on the others:{ :[
I am surprised that I have been a victim of a scam.
I purchased couple of smart watches, where I got tracking number and after a month still it says in transit. LW*******CN and LW*******CN
All you get is 60 seconds to make your mind and bid. In actuality when you look for the same product on other sites where I found its super cheap compared to tophatter, hence I cancelled the orders. Now comes the magic word, you have been banned from bidding for 15 days? WTF? Customer is King, dont you know that as well?
Would never become member again or recommend anyone at all.
Very pleased will continue shopping. I love being able. To give someone somthing just because I think it will make them happy.
I love most of things I bought but I returned one item and never got a credit. I wish that you had more button earings in larger sizes than. 095
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.
