I have enjoyed shopping and winning the items I have wanted for a while
I have purchased several different items. Only one item worked properly, 4 items that didn't. The jewelry items have been crap, or were sharp and cut me. Overall not happy, won't be shopping here anymore. At least with Wish you get a refund if not happy.

The products are misrepresented and are very cheap material. Most have not functioned as they stated and rarely come with any product information/instructions. I will not purchase anything from this site anymore. Cheap crap all funneled from China.

Items cannot be tracked thru your company! I will not be buying anything else on your site! I have bought many things before I knew this

A specific Company called M N (packaging comes from alliance group in NY)s selling imitation perfumes and colognes. Though their website states to report those sellers that are not legitimate( which I have) they are still selling. The differences in the cologne shown is Versace Eros. The fake is a lighter blue bottle, the spray cap is wrong design and made of light plastic, the sprayer is plastic and white shooter, the cologne disappears after about one hour, the Versace bottle lettering is in bold.

Ordered something from the company and it never arrived. This was the response: 'm sorry to hear that you didn't receive your order. The tracking number is valid and confirms delivery to the mailing address provided at the time of payment, which falls outside of our Buyer Protection

Looks like American products, but this is a major scam. Put them out of business, don't order! Junk. Scam..

Aside from the ability to reach out and request Information or instructions, when received a damaged item that you've paid $6-$9 for and the are expected to return the item, is ridiculous. If the items were within the US, it would be different; however to return a package I received this past week would cost a MINIMUM of $12-$15!
Hi Joey,
Thank you for your review. We do our best to ensure every purchase is great.
Tophatter is a Marketplace that connects buyers with sellers (https://tophatter.com/terms). Because we aren't in physical possession of the seller’s items we rely on the sellers to provide accurate information about every item, this includes instructions. If for some reason you need more information on an item I recommend doing a Youtube or Google search.
If for any reason you’re not completely satisfied, you can request to return an item for up to 30 days from the date of delivery. 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.

On our platform, refunds or prepaid return labels are provided to U.S.-based buyers until the buyer hits a threshold for free returns.
For internationally located buyers, we provide some store credit to offset the cost of returning the item at their own expense until the buyer hits the threshold. See our FAQ How do I request a return? Here https://tinyurl.com/y6l3gazb

The jewelry is very nice and the picture tells you it is real silver but I have been disappointed in the quality of merchandise unless it has a name brand on the picture not of a lookalike brand.

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.
