I have purchased quite a few times from… I have purchased quite a few times from discog, most of the time I’ve had no problem, a couple of times the seller Just cons you and don’t sent the items and discog just say you need to contact PayPal for a refund, they need a better refund policy in place and deal with them there self, other than that I stick with the same sellers always check the sellers feedback

Avoid Discogs Purchased a vinyl record from US (ship to UK) paying correct UK VAT. Charged VAT & customs charge due to no VAT declaration on package. Discogs completely absolved themselves of any responsibility & essentially stated that I need to contact customs to seek to recoup. This platform is a shadow of its former self & I recommend that you avoid as I shall be doing & review the other negative reviews…. UPDATE Re response received. If a remittance has been submitted to HMRC, there is clearly an issue with it, yet I still have to resolve this. As stated zero ownership post commission received.

CIP is a problem. Despite being a good database for different music releases, it has a problem. As someone who created a contributers account I got stuck CIP (Contributer Improvement Programme) which prevents you from contributing to the database, and I can't get off of it, even after 5 years. Discogs does have a guide to fix this, but it's so complicated and doesn't even tell you how to vote on pending submissions.

Discogs leaves disabled people with no recourse. It happened again. Discogs will remove feedback to keep the seller's feedback rating higher than it should be even though it didn't violate any of their feedback policies. In the end, both the seller and Discogs don't mind leaving disabled people high and dry with no recourse. Discogs will probably try to weasel their way through this by saying that my feedback violated some kind of internal policy must be left so opened-ended that virtually no negative feedback can be left.

No communication. PayPal didn’t work, despite working fine with another seller on the same day, and me checking my PayPal account. I received relentless emails assuring me I hadn’t paid and explaining that I would be marked as a non payer if I didn’t. I attempted on several occasions to pay and also to make contact with them to rectify the situation. I only did this as a good will gesture as the record is easy to get hold of, which I will be doing by going back to eBay with whom I have never had an issue. No response from the seller and none from Discogs. Having refused to use them in the past because of a similar issue I decided to give them another chance, but I’m afraid they really are useless.
