Help with Discogs selling

Anything with 0% feedback is a red flag. You can configure your account to reject orders if the rating is below a certain percentage.

Like Andrew said, looks like a bot / fake account. Is nothing sacred? I’m rapidly losing faith in online transactions.

Edit: Clue is in the name I guess. Very odd?! I’d avoid.

Yep - sorry should have done this before posting - anyway might be useful to someone

I checked the order history and it was making orders left right and centre and getting cancelled.

Just what is the fucking point in doing this. No help to anyone. Very annoying.

That’s why I was confused. Why would a bot call itself a bot?

That’s not going to get there without a postcode…

Isn’t it to just target people dumb/internet illiterate enough to fall for these scams? Sorta the same as the nigerian prince email system, saves them time dicking about with people who slowly realise it’s a scam if they just go for the real dumbasses from the start.

Just had one too…there was a link in the message which I didn’t click.
Can only assume it is a phishing attempt.


Just looking to sell this. I bought it from Soul Sense in Luton new. I think the shop was gone before the represses arrived. It’s going on discogs as I see the repress came in a plain sleeve. Goes for strong coin now by the looks of things.

Basically the matrix and the cover puts it into the most in demand category as far as I tell. Help welcome as I’m sure this record has been through many a TP user.

If it doesn’t have MPO in the run out it’s an OG. There was a picture sleeve identical to the OG in 2016

Both have all three tracks.

DFI-9 9_3 BURNING KIF S.A. 008 A POMPON TR on the run out.

Thanks Andrew

Looking for a bit of help. Just sold my first record on Discogs (£35) but pretty certain it might be a dodgy sale.

Buyer is listed as living in Indonesia and has no feedback. Shipping Address is to a different name and in London. The PayPal payment address matches the delivery address but it feels a bit dodgy.

I can send tracked delivery and add all the details to PayPal but a bit wary of sending it. Any advice would be much appreciated.

What’s your concern? If the PayPal address and delivery address match, I wouldn’t be too worried. You’ve been paid by the person receiving the record, right?

I’d have more of an issue if they didn’t match.

Maybe the person in Indonesia also has a London address. Cheaper to ship there maybe?

I messaged them to double check and they said exactly that :slight_smile:

Just panicked a bit with it being my first sale and them having no feedback. They have paid and the PayPal and delivery address match in both. I’ll post out and send tracked. and sure all will be fine.

Thank you.

No worries. It’s a minefield. There’s plenty of dodgy stuff going on for sure.

Sounds like you’ve sorted it, but right to be cautious. I had an ebay sale to a UK address which turned out to be an onwards shipping operation to the US. All fine but the buyer then complained about the cost of shipping UK to USA, which i wasnt even aware was happening and wasnt organised by me. Not sure who was naive in that sale - maybe both of us, but its me with the negative feedback.

As a resident of Brazil I can tell you I have bought several records and sent them to friends travelling in London, the US and other places. I always make sure the paypal address matches. It happens because either shipping to my country is too expensive, customs/tax is prohibitive, or sellers simply won’t ship here.

Thanks for the reassurance. It was delivered today so hoping all is fine with the order. Will be nice to get some seller feedback.

Just having a mooch around, found this seller from Italy who prices everything - everything - at 500 euros.

Why?

His missus told him to sell them and he’s playing 4D chess.

if one single person buys something at 500 euros, it’s all the more incentive to keep doing it.

his username does kind of give away the game…
