The company has garnered a mixed reputation among customers, with notable strengths in its engaging auction format and a diverse range of products that some users find enjoyable and affordable. Many appreciate the responsive customer service, which has been effective in addressing issues and facilitating refunds. However, significant concerns persist regarding product quality, with numerous complaints about receiving damaged or inferior items. Additionally, customers have reported frustrations with order cancellations and difficulties in the returns process. Overall, while the platform offers a fun shopping experience, it must improve product reliability and support to enhance customer satisfaction.

The hip time is a little long. Make sure you read the product description- most of the time its spot on, but there have been a few that have not matched.

I bid and won five items...
3 of them, after 4 - 5 weeks have been refunded with no communication or explanation. Orders *******, ******* and *******
1 has been in transit since the 26th November, it is now 3rd January! According to the tracking it arrived in the UK on the 6th Dec, but still has not arrived. Order *******
1 was actually delivered, but it did not match the description or photos, had a non UK power plug and actually having seen it I would not have paid £1 for it, let alone the £15 I did. Order *******
I have emailed and posted reviews, but have had no response, and the negative reviews have not appeared on the item listing!
They only seem to post good reviews.

IT'S PRETTY GOOD, I DO HAVE A SUGGESTION, FOR THE SELLERS THAT SELL JEWELRY, WHEN SENDING IT TO THE CUSTOMERS, PLEASE DO NOT WRITE JEWELRY ON THE PACKAGE, BECAUSE WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SOME OF OUR POSTAL CARRIERS, TRYING TO KEEP THESE ITEMS, AND NOT DELIVERING THEM. I HAD THIS PROBLEM OVER THE WEEKEND, I HAD TO REPORT A PROBLEM I ALMOST DIDN'T GET MY PACKAGE. SO, PLEASE DO NOT WRITE JEWELRY ON THESE POUCHES PLEASE.

A lot of the items are totally fake even if it says "fine jewelry". The stones are fake and the so called sterling silver turns your finger green. I'm not saying all items but quite a few. I ordered tanzanite earrings. They were "sapphire". Tanzanite is not dark blue

Products do not tend to be high quality or durable. It would be nice to know if an item is made in America or another country as most garments from tophatter may be a 5x but only realistically fit a 1x. Nice to know these things before you bid.

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.
