By far, the best place to buy and sell records, CD, anything music media related. Super easy to use as a buyer and seller. Rating system insures that you will get a record in the condition you desire. read more

Way too many scam artists on the website, and when you get money taken from you, and no record delivered, Discogs does NOTHING to help you. It is fine for cheap records but NEVER buy a high ticket item through Discogs. AVOID. read more

I have been selling vinyl on Discogs for about 6 months now. Generally they have beenn very good, but this is the second time i needed an actual human to answer a problem, and there are only ChatBots w VERY limited applications. Yesterday MY STOREFRONT, which is where i have posted several hundred dics, just totally disappeared....interupting a sale. Bigger issue though, where are all of my listiings that took hours to compile. HELP read more

I thought Discogs might be a good place to buy records, but I was wrong. If you find a good, reliable seller then you'll probably be ok. Problem is their feedback is MEANINGLESS! If you leave negative feedback on a seller then they whine and get it removed. Then what's the point?!!? If their feedback is a sham then DISCOGS IS A SHAM.....PERIOD!! read more

I sold a vinyl record on Discogs and used Paypal as the means of being paid. The record cost 29 euros. Shipping was 17 euros. Tax was 4.75, so the purchase total was 50.75 euros and the purchaser sent this in good faith. From this I had 2.83 deducted as Discogs' 9% fee. So far so good. However, I only received 38.16 euros. Paypal indicates that a staggering 9.76 euros has been deducted in addition in the concept of a "Partner fee". This is more than 21%; with the previous fee it is 25%. This is totally abusive. In the first place, it is arbitrary and unannounced. How do I know what price to charge if Discogs are going to charge me 21% more without warning? I am no longer going to deal with them. They use dishonest business practices and the internet is full of angry sellers saying the same thing. read more

I love discogs. That said, if there is a filter for unofficial releases, shouldn't there be a filter for official releases? Some bands have 10x the amount of boots than legit releases and it becomes cumbersome searching through catalogs. Especially since you can't purchase boots on discogs. read more

As a seller I believe them to be totally on the side of the buyer no what. They have expanded over the years in a way that puts an ever wider chasm between seller and buyer and ever more control of all aspects of a sale in their hands. read more

Website frequently down. Login issues documented extensively online. Administrators don't respond. Then there's the discogs marketplace which is a snakepit of shady or clueless sellers who misrepresent --or don't know how to grade -- items they are selling. Feedback is not helpful because scammers know how to get negative feedback removed and then leave negative feedback for buyers who complain! Administrators won't help. eBay is much more reliable because feedback can only be left for sellers. eBay also seems to have enough staff to be able to intervene and fix problems read more

Great site for selling and buying vintage vinyl. They have an amazing inventory among their membership.

Good app when it works. Not able to sign in, can't contact anyone for help. Started using another app. When it works it's good, right now it sucks. read more

I used this service twice to order two disks form separate vendors, on the same day from locations that were close geographically. This was on 12/22, one order was received promptly and the other I finally contacted on 1/12 to ask where the package was, the USPS tracking info ended on 1/03, the response I received was this: Brian, Hi. How's it going? I am not the United States Post Office. You paid for media mail. We shipped it media mail. Media mail is the slowest...most agonizingly slow...egregiously slow service that the USPS provides. I recently just received a package I ordered on December 4th. That's over a month. I also got a package in three days from across the country. USPS, because of Covid and the holidays and the fact that they're understaffed...is a mess. Be patient. There's literally nothing I can do or ask of the USPS to get your CD to you faster. Literally nothing. I can call and they will laugh at me. Here's what it says on USPS website... "ALERT: USPS IS EXPERIENCING UNPRECEDENTED VOLUME INCREASES AND LIMITED EMPLOYEE AVAILABILITY DUE TO THE IMPACTS OF COVID-19. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE." See that part at the end? That's the important part. Follow that part. I bet you get your package soon as USPS is starting to pick up as far as getting their shit together goes. But, yeah, be patient. Next time, pay for priority. Thanks. While this is factually correct one can see the clear condescension and sarcasm in the response, subsequent responses were worse especially when I noted the other order was received promptly and for 50 cents left. I was insultingly given a 50-cent refund, Having worked for a mail order restoration car parts company and managing a technical support call center I can assure you the level of customer support these people provided was pathetic, The final straw was when they removed my comment that I poster on the vendors site for inappropriate content. The comment was I have yet to receive my order Do not use this service if you make any kind of comment you are barraged with insults and derision, oh and yes I have still not received my order although it is supposed to arrive sometime soon read more

Discogs looked like a great alternative to buying music from Amazon, so I thought I would try it. There is lots of good music and there are a lot of great sellers. I fell into a trap though, and I am sharing it here. My autofill put in an old shipping address and discogs does not allow any corrections after you select your purchase. No way to cancel the order either. And as a newbie buyer I also could not see a way to communicate with the Seller. After I got threatening (!) e-mails from Discogs I finally figured out how to send a message to the Seller so hopefully I can get the order cancelled (I bought from a different Seller because I could not revise the first order). My assessment: Nice sellers, great sellection, crappy user interface. read more

I've tried @ lest 3x's to order & buy Cd's . I give up! I tried to call customer service,absolutely useless! How do you stay in business? I can't get past the "password ", you know my phone number,my name & all the passwords I've used. You don't want my money? After reviewing your past reviews I feel like I dodged a bullet . I've never had this hard a time giving my hard earned money away read more

I don't understand why all this negativity. It looks like the other people leaving reviews are upset because they don't know how to do anything. I barely have a high school education and I could figure out how to message a seller, and of course, there's plenty of sellers on here that are jerks, but most of them, if you don't expect too much, are pleasant enough to deal with. You find a CD, you check the sellers' feedback, examine it, and then buy from them and you probably will receive what you ordered. If not, you can try to negotiate with the seller and if they don't want to bother, you can always open a PayPal dispute, although that usually results in the seller leaving you negative feedback, based on my observations, but my buyer feedback is 98.7%, partly my own fault, because I set my expectations of myself and others way too high, and don't always do the best job at communicating. It should be noted that Discogs support is minimal and they don't get involved in disputes between buyer-seller/seller-buyer, which I appreciate, because we, as people, should be able to interact with some degree of civility and goodness and if both the buyer and seller do so, generally, the seller and buyer will both benefit. Not always, of course...if you order from a seller overseas, depending on the seller and what you ordered from them, they may expect you to return the item and not be willing to reimburse you for postage, regardless of the reason you returend the item (which makes sense in cases of buyer remorse but when you're promised a NM/NM vinyl or CD, sometimes it's treated as if it's buyers remorse unless the vinyl or CD is virtually unplayable). Anyway, you just gotta know how to read and follow instructions. Add to cart, checkout/pay, and wait for your item to arrive. Hopefully that'll be the end of it. If not, you may lose out, but, conversely, from the selling end, their fees are the lowest of any selling platform which means I can sell stuff for a reasonable sum of money (like $2 or $3 + $5 for shipping etc.) and not be left with only two or three dimes to show for it (Amazon, cough cough). read more

fair at best as far as selections...but any local record shop will do,, Ive used him a few times, but items took a long time to get to me.

They do not support their members, and after 700+ positive transactions, I was forced to file complaints with PayPal to reverse charges. No phone support, despite their fees. Communists, but unfortunately, the best in the business. If your account is restricted, expect no help and just open another one under a VPN. The west coast is burning, which is a great start. read more

Discriminatory, especially Alex at Discogs, siding with bigger sellers who cancel their orders for no reason and incorrectly mark it "out of stock" even though they clearly had the record in their possession. Discogs allows bigger sellers to behave however they want, they automatically remove negative feedback for them, and they don't care about fairness when a smaller or newer customer gets screwed. read more

I am trying to buy an item for a gift but your website is not user friendly. I do not accept allowing other websites to add or follow my actions on my laptop. I cannot get through on your phone line. I don't know how you guys sell anything. read more
