I recommend Discogs I’ve used Discogs on and off for years. I’ve had one bad experience but many, many good ones. I honestly think the negative reviews are mostly from people with very little knowledge or experience of the records market, who always buy the cheapest copy listed and are then sore when it isn’t always in spotless condition

They remove negative feedback Most sellers seems to be legitimate, but when things go wrong Discogs removes negative feedback left behind from buyers. Bought an expensive EP Mint condition. Sleeve was heavily damaged. I left a negative feedback which seems to have been removed later.

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.

Sellers abusive no recourse Sellers abusive no recourse, has no negative reviews though? An echoe chamber of the same people trying to screw over the average person look up reviews on reddit lmao

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.
