Avoid. Legitimises bogus sellers
A friend on Discogs gave me the heads-up on an album becoming available on the site that I had been after for some time. Excited, I created an account and instantly bought the album. Actually on Christmas Eve. Quite pricey, but not ridiculous for such an album. Well chuffed. Waited. And waited. Put it down to Christmas. But once we got into January I messaged the seller. No response. Messaged twice more. No response. Messaged Discogs several times, each time receiving generic responses that took me no further than their policies which by now I had already read. To cut a long story short the bogus seller should have been removed from the site by Discogs after four days of not responding. This is Discogs policy, which they failed to apply. To my knowledge, this shameless, bogus seller is still operating on the site. In addition, Discogs are still to reply to my query regarding their enforcement of their own policies. Got a refund via PayPal. Hugely disappointed. Avoid. Will never use again as it legitimises bogus, unscrupulous sellers.
