Dissatisfied for false descriptions
August 24, 2019

I discovered Top Hatter and loved the initial experience of the thrill of bidding. I got a couple of nice products. Then I got a 4-5 Piece handbag set which was garbage. Broke almost immediately. I won bids on blankets that were advertised as full/queen, won 3 and got them. The size is for a doll blanket. As false advertising which I WILL REPORT TO MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY. For a charge back. Also a couple of flowing gowns which are so thin one time in the washer and they will be shreds.

Hi Deanna,

Thank you for your review. We want you to be pleased with all of your purchases on Tophatter and I'm sorry that hasn't been the case.

Tophatter is a Marketplace that connects buyers with sellers (https://tophatter.com/terms), and we rely on sellers to provide accurate information about every item; however, if you discover a listing has been misrepresented in any way, we offer excellent Buyer Protection (https :// tophatter. Com/topics/Buying/subtopics/Buyer%20Issues/questions/Is%20there%20Buyer%20Protection%3F) As part of our quality assurance process, our system detects and applies strong penalties to sellers with higher than average return rate, and individual items exceeding the rate will no longer be scheduled on our platform.

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.

For any problematic items, please contact our dedicated support team here http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu for help getting the issue resolved.

Shoppers also have the option to rate their delivered items. Rating items is important because 1.) other buyers will be able to review the average rating on products before they bid, and 2.) items rated consistently low will automatically stop being scheduled on the platform. For these reasons we encourage you to rate the products you have purchased, although doing so is not required.

Warm Regards,
Angelique

Not recieving pakages
August 24, 2019

The reason I am not ordering any more because I am still waiting on a pak That was suppose to been here on the 12 th of Aug and its 21 st of Aug, now Tophatter says if I don't get my pak in 60 days they will give my money back, that is Crap, why should I have to wait 60 days that was told by the seller that I would get my pakage on the 12 th of Aug. And when I try to track the pakage it always says there was an error

I love Tophatter!
August 24, 2019

I go on Tophatter probably every day, I'm always looking for something, being disabled I enjoy shopping for things that will help me get around and do things easier, the touch of a button. Sure some of the stuff comes from out of the US but the stuff is so convenient and I love the auction, I like being the winning bid.

Hi Donna,

Thank you for your review.

I'm terribly sorry to hear the seller failed to honor your sale. This is definitely against Tophatter seller guidelines. When a buyer is refunded without prior consent the seller is automatically penalized, so this won't go unnoticed. Again, my apologies for the inconvenience this has caused. Thank you.

UNFAIR
August 23, 2019

I use to enjoy Tophatter. First time I spent over $100 worth in one month and been a customer for a very long time.
More than half the items I ordered was broken, scratched up real bad, cracked, and missing parts or just wouldn't work. I wrote them and tried to send pictures of the items, but site wouldn't let me download. I would've even sent the items back, but when you ask to return items, they just give you a refund and tell you to keep the item.
They blocked me because of this. I'm not paying for something that isn't useable or good shape. I bought a lot of stuff for birthdays, and couldn't use them.
They need to change their policies, get better management.
I wish there was another site like this but more qualified people working there.

Tophatter is a fun site with awesome products! I am 99% satisfied with the items I have purchased and the 1% was regarding an item I wasn't happy with.

Hi Leslie,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I understand your concern, however, I would like to assure you that all bids are placed by real shoppers. It goes against Tophatter's ethics and the trust the community places in us to allow bids from bots. I hope this helps clarify.
