Han Solo Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I figured everyone who sells would like to know. If you haven't checked Discogs yet today, you wouldn't have noticed the pop up alerting everyone that invoices are no longer going to be a thing. The invoice price you would pay at a later date after a sale will now be deducted immediately after your buyer pays. No more forgetting you still own a couple dollars to Discogs; it'll all be done at once. Much more convenient in my opinion !

stl_ben Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I haven't seen anything about that yet, but I am 100% ok with it. Would be right in line with what Amazon and eBay does. mcpherson123 and V3XED 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Good I'm tired of being the middle man for taxed orders. The invoice fee started adding up way faster when they added that and my feeble mind can't understand that extra money I get isn't mine. shenanigans, faaip de oiad and mcpherson123 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillybhatesme Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I am about to make my first discogs listing today. As a buyer, the process already seemed weird: Agree to purchase, pay, wait, payment accepted? Wait. wait. Pray the seller updates shit. So anything that makes the process smoother on either end is great news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy more than one thing from someone wouldn't you want them to combine the orders and give you the correct shipping price before paying?

ZeroNowhere Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) I have been on this platform for the past month, it's great. Now they need to make people pay immediately and cut the shit with people being able to order and pay when (or if) they feel like it. The minimum 4 day cancel window is so stupid.

The shipping policies should automatically update for multiple items within the same order. . Now if people place multiple orders thats a problem 1 hour ago, stl_ben said: Just went in and signed up.

I haven’t had issues When they forced the shipping policies there was no way to account for the fact that there are no flat rates with Canada Post (there were similar issues with other countries), after a long back and forth with Discogs support they straight up told me that they know the shipping policies don't integrate properly with Canada Post and that they had no intention of fixing it. I still use Discogs to catalogue my collection, but I stopped selling the day they enforced the shipping policies. I wasn't a huge seller, but usually had around 100 or so up for sale, and sold 1-2 a week. Why they don't integrate with PayPal's shipping tools is beyond me, they introduced the shipping policies to appease PayPal but won't actually make use of the tools a partnership with PayPal affords them.

stl_ben Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 There aren't flat rates to ship with USPS in the US either, you just have to set it at a price that will cover the average sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved everything over to eBay since they actually calculate a real shipping price Not to mention that Canada Post updates their prices monthly, and often it's not a small change.

Also that paypal takes 3% of what you're getting paid in taxes that you end up on the hook for. 22 hours ago, phillybhatesme said: I am about to make my first discogs listing today.

So anything that makes the process smoother on either end is great news. I wouldn't say payment received is the same as payment accepted. I think thats a carry over that was never really updated from before having a checkout button when you had to invoice the buyer and then they'd pay and discogs had no connection to whether they paid or not. 22 hours ago, The Fuck Whisperer said: If you buy more than one thing from someone wouldn't you want them to combine the orders and give you the correct shipping price before paying?

Not if they're offers or decide they want something else after initial purchase. They would have gotten rid of that step by now if it was useless.

stl_ben Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Also there is still many errors in their automated shipping price calculator. I know flexis are one that often bring up the wrong shipping price for me and then I have to adjust shipping prices for people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
