Arise old post.
Despite saying upthread I was done with Discogs I keep getting pulled back in. I’ve made 100+ consecutive successful transactions but this has now come to a juddering halt.
Last week I made 4 transactions and two were dispatched straight away on Thursday, but despite both being tracked, neither have been delivered. The Post Office sent me a helpful email saying that they are “sorry” that they were unable to deliver as promised. So am I.
However these were the easy two. Of the other two the first was a seller who quickly marked the transaction as Order in Progress, but then has done nothing (as far as I can tell) in 10 days. He did reply, eventually, that he was looking for the record. How many records can one have? Doesn’t everyone put them in some sort of order? How hard can it be? I suppose something will come at some point but who knows?
Anyhow the final transaction is the best/worst. £25-00 for two 12inch singles so not exactly the end of the world if I lose the money but the seller hasn’t responded at all. I opened a Seller not responding procedure but nothing. I was wondering how Discogs would refund me but then realised Discogs don’t get any money from me – I deal with the seller directly. So now I have to open a dispute with PayPal which is a load of hassle I could do without. I can afford to lose the £25 but why should I?
First world problems I know but very annoying indeed.
