I bought a dress. Just something to wear around the house. I knew it was cheap so instead of 1 or 2 X, I got 4X. This is perfect for my 8 year old niece! NO GROWNUP could wear this! Models were grownup.
Hi Penny,
Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry that your dress was not size appropriate despite sizing up. Here is a size chart https://tinyurl.com/ya99eeal to help with future purchases.
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.

Beware of giving your hard-earned money to overseas places, especially places originating in China. They never sent my shirt, had a bogus USPS tracking number with letters which we do not use here in the USA. Buy in America so you can track your package and do not be taken by unscrupulous companies. Integrity is everything.

I understand the frustration and disappointment that comes with not receiving an item you expected and we are truly sorry that happened.

When a package shows delivered to your location but not received, contact the local post office to attempt to locate the package.
To help with this issue I see that I personally issued a $5 credit 3 days ago. Because this item does show delivered to your location please reach out to the local post office to attempt to locate the package.

Ordered a $10 white shirt in SPRING. Filed complaints with PayPal when the shirt was never received. Filed another dispute and escalated the claim. Company provided a bogus tracking number and I never received the shirt. Called PayPal and they are taking the business side. I do not need the $10, but at the same time, I do not give away money for free to scoundrels and thieves! This is the principle of the matter. I will never order from these thieves again and I suggest you do not either. It is now SUMMER and I still do not have the shirt nor the $10 refund. Buyer Beware (No picture to submit because no shirt received!) Fuckers!
Tophatter is a Wonderful place to shop. Get really good stuff for a really great price. Everything I've ordered so far has been Great.

Miniature items in most cases and cheaply made. Several orders have been received missing pieces. Most orders come with no instructions. READ the full description before placing your bid...

I have been highly disappointed as most items not as pictured or discribed. I have tried to return items and the site will not allow me to do so. This site will not allow me rate items less than a 3 star.

THE VENDorS DO NOT REPLY TO COMPLAINS. Clothes Do t have tsgs with sizes, so they very often send wrong sizes. Rings are almost always the wrong size. Items have no instructions, description, no return addresses, some often in Chinese. If selling to USA, please have courtesy of of sending info in all languages like we do

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.
