Hi Patty! Thank you for writing such a wonderful review.
I love shopping on the Tophatter site because I never know what I will find. The products are honestly what you see is what you get and they are shipped securely and arrive faster than the estimated date. Easy return process and refunding are also a plus.
We're happy that we're able to provide great deals on items you love, Elizabeth! Thank you!
I have bid on and won so many items. Most i got but some never came. It used to be easy to track your orders on their website but it changed and now it's chaotic and incorrect and says things were delivered when they were not and they are not offering to do anything about the items that never came and some of them not real cheap. It's a bidding site and sometimes you have to pay more if you really want something. The first few months I would have given it 5 stars but what it has become I hesitate to give it three stars. I don't have an order ID number because these are individual items ordered over a period of months and their order history Page is a total Mess.
Hi Brenda, thank you kindly for your review. We apologize for any delayed tracking issues you have experienced. The 2016 Holiday season was greater than expected causing our International shippers to be backlogged in customs. This issue has been resolved, so items purchased 1-2 months ago will now be arriving to their location. Please note you are covered with Buyer Protection for items which may have not been delivered to your location. From your My Orders page you can Request a refund to initiate a refund dispute. Buyers are certainly protected from undelivered items and full refunds will be issued. Additionally, if you are viewing your My Orders page from the website you can easily sort your orders by tabs, such as Unpaid, Unshipped, Shipped, Refunded. This will help with locating orders you are concerned about. If we can assist with anything further, we are delighted to help via customer support here: http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu

Hi Tammi, thank you for writing such a great review. We're happy to have you as a member of the Tophatter community!
I've bought numerous and different items on line, easy way to bid, keep you up to date with all transactions. Only 1 complaint is that if purchases on clothes are from China, human or for pets sizes are small.

We're ecstatic to hear you've been satisfied with your purchases made on Tophatter. Thank you kindly for writing such a awesome review!
I have only ordered and received. Tracking the items has been easy and were delivered on time; however, the most recent item was disappointing in that it was NOT as nice as the presenting information. I may actually be returning the item. I am awaiting the last item ordered and as that is coming from China it is taking a while, but that is okay. Will hope it arrives by the date given. We shall see.
It was fun biding, even when I lost, it was fun. Enjoyed my items. Got compliments on my items. Can't wait to bid on something else.
These 90 seconds auctions are so much fun it's hard to not get carried away. Prices are determined by bidders, with only very high-end items starting with reserve prices. I would advise bidders to check shipping charges carefully as sometimes they raise the total cost above retail stores. Returns and refunds are so easy, they put some high-end retailers to shame. Also, smart bidders may want to do some research the first time a new item pops up. That's as easy as clicking on the image itself and reading the full description for the item. Even if you miss out on one bid, it is sure to come around again soon and you'll be more informed and quicker to press that BID button!
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.
