B. says they cant find the guy they wont help.
The items are worth the cost, if you set your bidding price low and stick to your limit.
Out of about 15 purchases only one came later than told most earlier and always new condition
I've found some great items on this site. Their jewelry is my favorite.
Why can I not get a refund for the crappy eyeshadow and broken watch just not worth shipping back.the eyeshadow was expensive looked good nice and sparkly until you took off the top layer. They even sent the wrong color. I am not pleased with that product.the mechanism in the watch doesn't fit its to small and keeps moving around causing the watch to stop working

Never a problem with any of the items I purchased thru tophatter.

Ordered 5 thing. When arrived they looked cheap and one was completely wrong. Plus you can get cheaper online than the original prices they show. Never again
This site is very honest, realiable, and trustworthy. I recently had an issue with one of my items that I bought and I notifiedTophatter and they took care of it within a few days, not like other sites that shrug you off. Other sites can learn from Tophatter. Keep up the great work Tophatter... you got a customer for life...
Said I didn't pay for item. Sent them proof of payment from paypal. Their response. Cancelled my acct and bar me from purchasing. I wasn't even upset when I first heard of the problem. Just contacted PayPal, got transaction information and sent it to them. I thought it was going to be fine. Boy was I surprised at their reaction. It was only a $12.00 purchase and showing them there mistake caused me to be kicked off sight. Guess I was suppose to pay again to make them happy.
I was very pleased with my purchase use it quite often and I definitely would recommend tophatter to family and friends.
I WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH MY [PURCHASES ESP WHEN CHECKING WITH MY FINE JEWELER AS WELL AS PAWN SHOPS AND WHEN I TRIED TO RETURN EVERYTHING, I WAS BLOCKED, IT SEEMS THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT ITEMS BACK WITHIN 30 DAYS, BUYER BEWARE.
I ADMIT I WENT HAYWIRE AND BOUGHT 41 ITEMS, BUT BASED ON THEIR GUARANTEE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM. BUT IT IS. FROM THE 41 ITEMS, I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN 23 ITEMS, KEEP 12 AND 6 ITEMS WERE NEVER RECEIVED

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.

I see a full refund was issued for Order #17376046 on November 13,2016. Unfortunately, additional cost spent offsite cannot be refunded by Tophatter or the seller, as these transactions are not a part of Tophatter. Additionally, a pre-paid return label was issued and sent to your Tophatter registered email. Please be sure your label was not sent to your spam folder instead.
