Crap products sold
June 5, 2019

I have bought over 20 items on tophatter and I am not happy with any of them. All items were sold and shipped from China. Items are smaller, very cheap looking as if I bought them at the 99 cent store. I have thrown more then half the crap away because it would cost me more money to ship it back then to throw it away. I will not buy another item on tophatter again, I have actually uninstalled the app. VERY disappointed.

Hi Jerry,

Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like you were bidding on an item with reserved pricing.

Reserve price is an option for sellers, which allows items to open at low starting bids while ensuring a fair minimum price is attained.

If bidding ends and the reserve price has not been met, that item will not be sold, and you will see "RESERVE NOT MET" on the listing prior to the next item opening for auction. If you have questions about this please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team at [email protected]

Warm Regards,
Angelique

The majority of the items that I have bought were really good. The last one--a pair of light overalls had buttonholes---but no buttons! Thought this was kind of funny--cannot even fasten them!

Kind of addicting :)
June 4, 2019

It's actually pretty fun, BUT to get shut down from it because I had to cancel 3 orders (Because of HIGH Shipping Costs) out of the 20+ I had actually purchased was ridiculous! 3 Days I wasn't allowed to bid! Not cool!
Other than that it's pretty cool!

Hi Barbara,

Thank you for your review.

The system considers the number of successful purchases and the number of cancellations and bidding blocks are based on that calculation. The block cannot be removed by anyone. It's system-based and automatically times out on its own once it expires, sorry.

There is a notice before canceling that warns the next cancellation will result in a block. It appears in the pop up modal before canceling.

Please review our policy for more details in the FAQ: https://tinyurl.com/y8uzqbag

While you can't place live bids, you can still make purchases on items which offer Buy Now. Click on any item with a ​Buy Now​ button to purchase it for that price. Buy Now items can be found by using the Browse option.

Angelique

It's just okay
June 2, 2019

Never ever buy clothing. If you do buy at least 2 sizes larger. I have received many pieces of clothing I ordered before I ever received the first piece. They are all very cheap material, thin, and strings hanging or actually unraveled. As for other items I have been relatively happy. Make sure you start to pay attention to the sellers. Those in the US will give you better quality when it comes to jewelry. I got a bit over zealous in the beginning and ordered way too many things (over 100) before I ever received anything. I like Tophatter, but have learned to be c aweareful. NO CLOTHING EVER, and watch the sellers and take notes on each. It will prevent disappointment in the long run. The order number below is just one of over 100 in a month.
