discogs marketplace?

yeah. it wasn't clear to me how wantlister solved that problem either actually, which is of course the most annoying thing about the discogs wantlist. to me the greatest improvement would be if you could simply filter out certain sellers when you are using the Marketplace feature

it just does that internally, you don't need to do anything, it must keep a cache of listings and if the seller and price matches the cache it doesn't bother to include it again

I’ve not looked at it but presumably it’s a bit like camelcamelcamel in you can set a maximum price you’d want to pay.

unfortunately blocking individual sellers doesn't seem to be a thing

xp yes you can do that

Hey all, as a Discogs novice, I'm wondering what is an acceptable time to wait before giving a seller a nudge? I ordered something on the 13th June and we're still at 'payment received', there's been no notification of despatch yet.

That’s plenty of time for a nudge.

Thanks!

I seem to come across a lot of discogs sellers that have stuff in there terms like DO NOT HASSLE ME, I AM A BUSY PERSON WITH A DAY JOB AND WILL GET AROUND TO SHIPPING WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT. IF YOU BOTHER ME I WILL JUST CANCEL YOUR ORDER, MANY THANKS. I usually don’t mind waiting a couple of weeks for domestic orders.

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.
