If you want to buy vinyl records go anywhere else basically, favours sellers if you miss an email for three days you are potentially subject to abuse and negative public reviews, been like this for years not a great way to grow a website and community oh well

There is obvious evidence Diognes_The_Fox, who is a Discogs Staff member, shared private information (exposing my identity & entire activity in Discogs) with another 'High Ranked' user. This action is ILLEGAL and despite I have opened countless tickets & have made many reports for this matter, Diognes_The_Fox not only continues to ignore them, but also marks them as 'Solved' without even being notified about it! In the rare case he replies, thing which could happen after at least 25-30 days from the ticket's opening date, his answers are unrelated with the subject or he just copy-paste general template-answers or he has even been sarcastic & pugnacious!
I have also asked MANY times to get help from another member of Discogs Help Staff or to forward my reports & tickets to any Discogs legal advisor, but every time he is assigning to all my tickets regarding this issue, as if nobody else should be involved...As this was not enough he also blocked my account from contributing to Discogs Database the moment I reported Privacy Violation as my identity was exposed from the specific 'High Ranked' user plus he set my own release as 'Protected' so no one could make any changes except from themselves.
I have also received abusive behavior such "Ping DtF (DOWN TO $#*!) so he knows what's going on" and reported it thousands of times, but nothing happened at all as Diognes_The_Fox, and Discogs deny to reply to Privacy Violation + Abusive Behavior countless reports & tickets...

PS: Please, if any LEGAL ADVISOR reads this, I need to know his opinion. Thank you.

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. 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.

They are impossible to contact. They renounce all responsibility! There are far to many dishonest sellers on their site! The raiting systym is not good enough. When you give a bad review to a seller he immediately give you a the same that make many pull a way from giving bad review...

I've been a seller on Discogs for over 6 years. Recently, they implemented a 2-factor login process. Since doing so, I have been unable to access my account. I have reached out to them numerous times and still (almost a month later) cannot access my account. It is extremely frustrating that I have spent countless hours logging my inventory and building a customer base only to be locked out of my account and no one will respond to my email. If you are considering selling on this site, do yourself a favor and find a different medium.

They offer absolutely no buyer protection. I paid a considerable amount of money for a rare record and when I didn't receive it the seller said their account had been hacked and that they had not received my money. There was nothing they could do. I thought I would try again and I bought off another scammer. I don't understand why Discogs don't remove these sellers or offer protection for their buyers. No wonder there are so many scammers, it's a paradise for them.

So many venders to choose from! Quality of items for sale are clearly listed (as many are used items), and I have always received my purchases in a timely manner. Great prices, competent website, cordial vendors. I haven't had any bad experiences and have been ordering for a couple years now from this site.

I just purchased what I thought was a Box set of 3 disk and when this came it only contained 1 cd. I messaged the company and they said it was only supposed to ever be one disc! Beware!
THIEVES!

What was once a place made up of music enthusiasts is now at the mercy of shady people and scammers who act freely, also thanks to the site's policy and its administrators who increasingly tolerate certain attitudes. Personally, after receiving another scam and losing money (and reporting the incident without any meaningful response), I've chosen to severely limit my presence on the site, preferring other ones that offer much more guarantees and protections.

Let me say, from the outset, that I've never sold on Discogs. Thus, I have no familiarity with that aspect of it. What I can say is that I've had a satisfactory, nay wonderful experience in filling in gaps in both my collection of LP's, 78's, and Edison Diamond Discs. Some of the LP's are those that were on a "want list" as far back as middle school, and I've been able to purchase them at reasonable prices, in some case unopened. Grading seems to bring out the whiners as to those who want everything absolutely perfect. Maybe these children should collect 78's or Diamond Discs. There's no such thing as Mint, and you have to live with that. I've found grading to be accurate. As to communication with sellers, those who were somewhat dilatory simply received a polite message inquiring as to the status of the order and Presto! They mailed the package.I've found Discogs to be a helpful means of acquiring music, same as eBay.

A realistic reflection of what you have in your collection, then don't use this site, it's $#*!! Many self appointment experts constantly sabotaging submissions or having them merged, thinking they know better. And yet most of them don't have a copy in hand of the said record themselves. Too many inflated egos and too much jealousy over records that people don't own personally in particular a user going by the name Opdiner, avoid at all costs the guy is a complete cockwomble who should have been kicked off the database a long time ago.

But that aside I have been happy with things that I've purchased from there.

Made my first purchase on Discogs. The seller diligently processed the payment and took my money. When my order had not arrived after more than a reasonable amount of time I tried to contact the seller multiple times without a response. Then i did the "seller not responding" as per Discogs system, still no contact from seller so now I'm out of pocket, no vinyl record sent or received and the seller just gets away with it. First and last time I use this site, it is dodgy and it is set up to make it easy for shonky, shady characters to RIP YOU OFF. Stay away from Discogs do not purchase anything on this site. You have been warned people.

Full of scam sellers that Discogs doesn't do anything about. If a price seems too good to be true then it probably is. If anyone asks you to pay outside of PayPal its a scam. Use with caution, Discogs won't help if there's a problem.

I signed up to this website in order to catalogue my music collection. None of the features make any sense. Almost impossible to navigate and do anything for a newby. Very confusing. Not user friendly.

See below reviews avoid these Hooray henries obnoxious arrogant scum sellers, be warned!
Avoid at all costs

I sold a rare LP for $212 and "partner" fees were taken out to the tune of $70! Unbelievable rip off! Bullies in the forums horrible, horrible horrible!

Most of the time you cannot see an actual picture of what you are buying from a Seller! Many of the Sellers are selling "Pure Crap" & Junk from old thrift stores, yard sales or even worse!

I have been on Discogs since 2014 and have had excellent service. If you are looking for vinyl, cd's, you should give them an opportunity to provide, but remember, they are a service and not the seller on the item you order.
