Since finding Tophatter I have won a number of times. The bidding is great... You don't have to guess bids to outbid someone... And if you don't want to wait for bidding you can search and purchase immediately AND they still count it as a win! Thanks so much!
When you asked me to do a sight match, I have problems with my eyes so i don't get that right. Other than that I have enjoyed the whole process in purchasing from you. I will be back again. Thank you.

It takes way too long to get anything. It seems like everything I ordered for some reason all are coming from China and they seem to be stuck there. I've been waiting over a month for many things. Absolutely ridiculous

Hi David,
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your support.
We hope every shopper will be delighted with every purchase, but understand that not everything can be perfect.

A full refund of the original price paid will be processed upon return of the item in its original condition. To request a return, visit My Orders, click the item, then click Return Item. Please refer to our FAQ How do I request a return? Here: https://help.en.tophatter.com/article/65-return

I have already had two refunds which I think is bad business. Also I ordered several things on April and many have not even been shipped.
Hi Linda,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
When a buyer is refunded without prior consent the seller is automatically penalized, so this won't go unnoticed.

I love Tophatter, but I do not like a particular seller called high and higher. Ever time I won a bid from them they canceled my order because "my address was wrong". Which is not true because I have received numerous items from Tophatter in the mail already. Otherwise everything else is perfect! Thank you for your services

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.
