discogs marketplace?

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?

AN ABANDONED CART AUTOMESSAGE ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

ok now i know what you're talking about

lame!

Is this a message where you are a buyer and it nudges you when you put something in a cart but did not buy (annoying), or you are a seller and it tells you when someone has left one of your for-sale items in a cart ( as a seller, what are you supposed to do about that, email they guy and force him to buy it?).

I've never seen the second thing happen to me as a seller.

it nudges you when you put something in a cart but did not buy

this

wow, here's a new one:

I was out of town when I received an order, and since it would be six days before I could ship, I offered the buyer free shipping and said I'd send a partial refund, as I have done dozens of times before. I sent the partial refund of $5, and the status automatically changed to "refund pending." Whatever, right? But this morning I dutifully shipped the item, as promised, and tried to change the status to Shipped, and it won't let me, because there is a "refund pending."

Saw a box set I've been eyeing up for ages and finally decided to pull the trigger. Seller was listing it for £200 but had "make an offer" enabled. Didn't want to take the p*ss so offered him £180 which was duly accepted. Sent the money and only then decided to check eBay where I saw the same seller had the same item listed for £160. More fool me, I guess.

If it makes you feel any better, the shipping on eBay (automatically set — usually insanely high — by the system) was probably more than £20 more than the shipping on Discogs (set by user).

Quite possibly, although I don't understand the mentality of a seller listing an expensive item at different prices on different platforms.

A lot of e-commerce sites do the cart nudge thing, it is annoying but there are worse things imo.

what was the box??

Doesn't matter.

A lot of e-commerce sites do the cart nudge thing, it is annoying but there are worse things imo.

Yeah, I've gotten those from a few labels and quite a few distros lately. It's annoying because I tend to collect things in my carts, and when I'm feeling frivolous or spendy I'll just bundle a few things together and buy several records at once. This habit also keeps me from buying things impulsively when Boomkat or Stranded or Soundohm assures me that the spiritual jazz reissue / key document of the minimalist French underground / new limited cassette on Demdike Stare's label is "an absolute must" and "is sure to fly"

I'm guessing the comment on this listing is a wild cut-and-paste mistake...
