I have received some great stuff from here but rules are a bit strict and unfair. Love bidding on products but if you click accidentally beware.
Good site but read description very carefully as size and some descriptions are deceiving. Pictures look bigger than they are. But customer service is very good. I returned an item and they credited me right away.
Gisele, thank you for sharing your experience and writing your review. Yes, this is true. We recommend that buyers fully read the item description to ensure you are bidding on the correct item wanted.
Tophatter is addicting. So many things at reasonable prices and you don't have to wait a day to see if you win. You know within minutes. Great products and the auctions are fun to watch and to bid.
Heidi, thank you kindly for writing your review. We are delighted to know that you're finding great deals while shopping on Tophatter.
I have had a lot of fun buying items at an unbelievable price. I have purchased a lot of gold plated collector items and some other items. It was fun to play the bidding game and sometimes win and sometimes not.

Thank you, Judy, for your continued support and taking the time to write your review.
Tophatter is a good site to use, but you shouldn't make sure that the prices are cheap before you buy them. Look it up online really quickly before you bid.

Most times i receive the items and i am very happy. I had few times I experience taking too long receiving the item, and returning the item and never getting refunded. You do have to be careful here.

All items received are very pretty i wasn't expecting them to look that nice tho. They have good customer service as well, i only had one issue with an order which i received a different necklace instead of what i ordered. Seriously i fell in love with the other necklace which i didnt even order so i kept it and am rocking it. Lol Delivery is fast no problems.
So far good bargains and good service! I'm sorry for the people who have had a bad experience but mine has been good. I'm almost done Christmas shopping.

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.
