The jewelry that I have bought has been good quality and exquisite stones and the stones are genuine.
I enjoy sitting down and going on Tophatter to go bidding. It is nice to find something that is gorgeous and at an unbelievable price but to win it on a bid is a terrific high. Love this site and tell everyone about it.
I DID like tophatter unail a simple mistake made them cancel my account and refuse to reopen it. My son purchased something with his card on my phone which made it store his card. Not knowing this I used his card for a few purchases. Until I found out the mistake. There were 1 or 2 charges that the bank disputed, but other than that they got their money. I emailed and explained the situation and apologized profusely and tried to pay for EVERYTHING. It was an honest mistake and even though I had made at least 50 purchases with NO problems whatsoever they still would not reopen my account. I was EXTREMELY happy with tophatter, but now I'm EXTREMELY upset with them. All I can say is don't be human and make a simple mistake because they will not forgive you or let you make it right.:-(
Love this site! Very addictive and fun with each purchase being very easy!
I'm always looking for unique jewelry, but I'VE never expected to find such exceptional quality from an online site. Tophatter not only sells jewelry, but they have an abundance of other fine items as well...
One of my items were cheap because they were missing something. Another was refurbished and now it looks like it has trouble charging. Everything is so cheap. One of my items came with a charging cable that was 2 inches long and no wall block. Nothing came with a wall block. Just not great experiences. Another item I ordered said it shipped then it turns out the seller called the support center and stated I called and wanted a refund. Took forever to get an accurate response. They also say bids start at $1 and they actually start at $40.
Have got several items... love most. Won't buy clothing. Sizes are all extremely small 4×lg blouse was more like a medium. The clothing was cheaply made.
I love my experience at Tophatter. You can find deals on here that you can not find anywhere else. I recommend this site to anyone looking for a deal
This is a great site for finding that one gift you can't find for someone. I just wish it would allow me to combine shipping on multiple items.
I love Tophatter because it is dynamic, in that you can bid on the day and either lose or win on the same day, no waiting period. I have found all of the items I have bought ( I have bought many), have been fantastic. The delivery and tracking information is really good. I love that you can email them and you will have a reply immediately. They also take back items you are not happy with.
Best of luck Tophatter, you are doing an awesome job.
Thank you so much.
I have made several purchases from Tophatter. It is fun and very easy to purchase items of interest. There is a wide variety of merchandise to choose from. I highly recommend!
You can have fun bidding on items without worrying too much, Tophatter guaranteed the purchase
I love Tophatter and the chance to get great items for a fraction of the cost. Have had a problem with a couple of the sellers in not receiving my items but not sure if it is post office or what the problem has been. On the whole, I LOVE shopping here! Would recommend to anyone.
The eyeshadow was lovely... from China?!?! Took that long too. The chain is still nice but not like picture, very misleading pictures! The fragrances are so tiny I cannot even use as stocking stuffers... not big enough to even come from store give away! I don't have the energy to return stuff. Would not know what goes where now anyway. I have since deleted your site... to disappointing! Coulda been smoking, instead stinking..
For the most part Tophatter is a fun and exciting way to shop... i would like to see more quality products but i understand its based in China so i dont expect alot of classy items from that country... thank you for this great experience...
Have only had 1 or 2 problems and they were immediately taken care of.
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.
