discogs marketplace?

Yeah I wait at least a week but idk

I recently bought an item from a seller in Germany (I live in France). He gave me a tracking number which confirms that he posted it four weeks ago. Both the German and French postal websites just say that the item is "currently being delivered". The seller has no additional information. What am I supposed to do? How can it take 4 weeks for an item to move from one neighbouring EU country to another?

That doesn’t sound right. Is there a way to follow up with your local service? I waited 3 working days for a standard shipping service from Germany to the UK last month. That’s pretty normal.

I've had stuff take 6 weeks to get from the UK to mainland Europe tbf

Royal Mail won't consider a refund for lost packages before 4 weeks

I try to get everything out within three days, will send an apology if I don't.

my seller terms say I post once a week on Saturdays (I quite often do more than that but don't want to hold myself to it) but nobody reads those, although I've only had 2 disgruntled customers who failed to read, the rest were fine about it

the last time I nudged someone after 5 or so days they responded that they had been going through some shit with their elderly parent. i replied, oh no take your time and sorry that's happening. a few days later i got one email saying my record had shipped and another telling me i got a full refund. it was only a 7 dollar record but they paid for shipping as well. i think talking to someone like an actual human and not writing something like "wtf where's my record???" can go a long way

I'm going to go back and read the terms then probably leave it until after the weekend

Absolutely. I’ve nudged a couple of times, both at around a week of no movement. The first one, the guy replied that his store was moving premises and it turned out they didn’t have what I want (that pissed me off a bit, I could have gone somewhere else sooner) but I didn’t make a thing of it. The other one, the guy said he was dealing with cancer treatment and I was obviously like, take your time (I got it a couple of weeks later). Really, mostly I just want to know that someone at the other end got my order; if it takes a few weeks, so be it, so long as I know a human is handling it. I don’t need it tomorrow, it’s not Amazon Prime.

Quick update, sent a polite message three days ago requesting an update, no response. I believe Discogs advises a four days wait before any more action, I'll leave it another four days, then that'll be a week since my message (and more than two weeks since the initial purchase). Curious though, the seller has 100% feedback.

List more on eBay

Hi Scott,

We’re excited to let you know that we’ve increased the selling limit on your account to $50,000,000.00. This means you can list more of your items and help grow your business on eBay.

thanks, i have a couple dozen faberge eggs i've been meaning to unload.

I had a CD sale to someone in Chile. No problem, I thought.

Then I find the cheapest postage is £35

Happy to report that my guy got back with profuse apologies and even an offer to refund some of the money for the extra hassle (which I refused), he seemed genuine but also (reading between the lines) a little anxious that I might leave him negative feedback, which I won't, life happens.

Once on eBay I had someone leave negative feedback after they a) won the auction, b) vanished and never paid, c) and then after i left negative feedback they claimed they had the record because they had paid and i already sent it.

Had one on Discogs that bought a cd, never paid, a month later I cancelled. Then a week later they left me a positive review!

Arg, watch out - the “new improved” inventory tools managed to relist some banned bootlegs which had been sitting around for years and which I had sold elsewhere in the meantime. These were then ordered by sellers and now I’m out of pocket for Paypal fees.

Hang on, you can still cancel "item unavailable" and get your PayPal fees back directly

you don't get a refund on Paypal fees when you cancel an order. only Discogs fees

Swines

Yeah, Paypal brought that in 2 or 3 years ago.

site now appears to be 100% broken, all the time

Fun!

It's ok now

it sucks.

definitely put a cramp in my style today.

Been getting a lot of tab indents from Discogs orders lately. Not the end of the world but it's like "dammit, is it that hard to put a booklet back in the case properly???"

ugh, discogs is down again

ach, it is

It's been so brutal lately. 404 messages like 50% of the time, slower than hell all the time. Weird new wantlist and notification process that's definitely messed with sales. Not sure how they could blow it this badly but it's awful

I get alerts when something I'm selling has changed. When I click on the message, it takes me to the edit screen. Why?

Working here ok everytime ive checked today when ive read the messages here

Yeah, I like that they adopted Wantlister but didn't realize it would completely replace the previous wantlist. Or is there a setting to customize this? Frankly I haven't had the energy to deal with it.

Very Discogs to finally implement a feature everyone’s been gagging for but to do it in such a way that nobody knows how to use it or can be bothered to learn.

How do people deal with vacation settings? Apparently that feature (or anything like it) is now gone.

with the drop down menu go to inventory. scroll down and click *show actions*. then click *expire all for sale items*. then go on vacation. when you get back click *relist all expired items*.

its been ass o clock lately

Would be good if there was an option when on vacation to keep store open but buyer gets message saying ‘Vendor is away until 15th August, do you want to continue?’ when making a purchase.

with the drop down menu go to inventory. scroll down and click *show actions*. then click *expire all for sale items*. then go on vacation. when you get back click *relist all expired items*.

That's actually what they removed. Some users on their discussion board recently claimed there was no way to expire items in bulk anymore, but I guess Discogs added this update in their instructions in response:

huh, didn't know that. its always how i've done it but i haven't done it in a while.

i have done it this year but months ago.

AN ABANDONED CART AUTOMESSAGE ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Was that email or a popup?

email, I got another one that thankfully gave me the "unsubscribe from abandoned cart emails" option

Site redesign - I hate it!

fucking awful

Enshittification in action

It doesn't look any different to me in Chrome on a laptop. Is this a phones-only thing?
