Deceptive ads.
May 10, 2019

Deceptive ads. Too bad I found out after I bought stuff, I guess I learned from experience. The items do not match the advertisement or the delivery takes way longer than advertised. Not good for business.

Hi Tischia,

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,

I made the mistake of ordering a few things from this website. When they arrived the items where not the same as represented in the advertisements. For instance the ad shows an art piece picturing a tiger hung on the wall behind a couch. The art in the extends from one end of the couch to the other giving you the sense that it is quite large. I received the item and determined that the couch in the add must be doll house furniture as the art piece is barley larger that a piece of copy paper. Other items arrived broken/not working. This website only sells rip off items please stay away!

I heard about tophatter from a friend. He gave the site an outstanding rating. He was right! Not all that I have ordered was a quality product but all an all this is a great site. My only complaint is that I wish the product had where it was from before I bought it. Not to much luck with stuff from China. But everything else is great. Love this site

Hi Gloria,

Thank you for your review.

Because we are not the seller of the item, unfortunately, we don't support the replacement of items, partial shipment of missing or damaged parts, or return of items for exchange at this time. I do understand how disappointing and frustrating it must be to bid on an item and never receive it, I'm truly sorry that this happen.

On Tophatter we have an extended ship time of 30 days domestically and 60 days for all international shipments.

I definitely understand wanting what you paid for to arrive as soon as possible. Your voice is heard and we are working to improve your experience in terms of shipping times.

After you've purchased, you can click on any item from your My Orders page then click *Where's My Item?* to find the current status and timeline.

Please know you are covered by Buyer Protection http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu against non-delivery if tracking does not update to show delivered to the address you provided at the time of payment.

Warm Regards,
Angelique

A car vac was advertised as heavy duty and had attachments. It is very flimsy, has no attachments, and it falls apart while vacuuming. It also has a one foot cord and doesn't work unless plugged into the cigarette lighter so you can't vacuum an entire car.

A phone advertised as having 4gig of RAM actually has 512 k. Everything I've received is absolute junk!
Is all coming from China. They get rich and there is no recourse. You can return an item within 30 days of an order. But some items are delivered 60 days after sale.

It isn't worth it. On the off chance you get one good item - keep it and WALK-NO RUN-away.

Horrible experience!
April 25, 2019

Bought digital download and same day delivery. Seller starts shipping slip to stop refund process. Request refund 3 days later through tech support since site is blocks it (4 days and can't ask for refund). Over week later have to open paypal dispute. Tophatter claims they can not refund because of dispute. Paypal then tells me I have to wait till May 3 or a response from them before action is taken. What do you bet they wait till May 3rd... Still no refund yet. Never again will I ever do business with them! Stay away from their site!

I find that the items presented for auction do not contain enough information, and I find that the items that I have received were not authentic or what I imagined. The size, material, etc. are often missing from the details, or should I say, "Lack of Details", the description of the items need more specific details.
