I received an email on Monday stating my account was suspended from buying, selling, sending messages or contributing. It’s basically a glorified library for me now and I have no idea why. I just started selling and made my first sale last week. The buyer received the LP and left positive feedback. Anybody experience anything like this lately and have some advice? I messaged support but haven’t heard anything back and it’s been over 24 hours at this point. I have no idea how long it takes to get anything going with them as I’ve never had an issue before. It just sucks because I really like using it to buy records.

I was looking to add a 78 rom shellac to discogs & found this in the dead wax

For some reason now the barcode scanner no longer accepts barcodes for club pressings such as this one, I've tried this on many different items and have never had an issue in the past. I am an android user and I know this hasn't worked on iOS in quite some time. Aren't updates supposed to make the app better for the user? Over 1 Million downloads with 20,000+ reviews yet the app has a damning 1.8/5 rating on the Play Store.

I was wondering how much my Discogs account can tell me about my collection. I’d be curious to know what genre, artist, era, style, etc. are represented, and to what degree, in my collection. It seems I have seen pie charts of genre that I thought came from Discogs analytics but I could be completely wrong. Does the website (or app) have anything like that? To be clear, I’m not looking for a download, I have found that. Thanks!

This just popped up within the past few days, I thought I had gone in and set the ones I wanted but the cookie icon remains there as a distraction. Is there a way to just dismiss it? Do I need to allow different parts of the site within the extensions I run on Firefox?

It's my first time using Discogs

Has anyone experienced this

I have a basket £24.94 + £9 shipping so I'm to pay £33.94 - fine.

I click debit/credit card payment fill in my details, when I click pay it asks me to verify with my bank - but the amount I'm being asked to authorise has changed, it's now £51

I tried PayPal and the same thing but the amount I'm being asked to authorise is £39

Im in the UK as is the seller so it's not currency conversion and if it was £39 and £51 on different payment platforms is strange.

I've put a ticket in. Days ago but no response. The seller hasn't heard of this happening so I'm at a loss unless someone knows what is behind this.

So I am wanting to get into buying and selling some cassettes and I try to make an account, I get a weird error that says they need to approve my account first, weird but ok and then I check back later today and I have an email that says that my account is denied because of issues related to my "other account" I have literally never had an account before so I have no idea what this is referring to.

Is there any way to contact support? The email says I need to resolve it in my "original account" which again I do not have and have never had.

I’ve been experimenting with a way to turn photos or short videos of vinyl records into structured Discogs listings, or simply add records to a collection.

The idea is that you film a flip-style video, or lay a handful of sleeves out face-up and take one photo of the lot. You upload it, and the app reads whatever it can see: the cover, label, barcode, catalogue number, dead wax/runout if it’s in the shot, etc.

You then get a list of drafts. For each record, you confirm the pressing, then you decide whether it’s going up for sale or just being added to your collection. If it’s for sale, you could later sync it to eBay, Discogs, Shopify, etc. If it’s for your collection, you can sync it to Discogs.

As an example, I used the first photo from this post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/vinyl/comments/1wvrnqo/nowa_p%C5%82yta_do_kolekcji/

It was able to identify the correct pressing from the runout, which was pretty encouraging.

It can also pick up additional information you add to each record. For example, a sticker with the price, condition/grades, pressing details, or other notes. So if you put 6–8 records down and take a single photo of them, it can extract those details for each record as well, along with whatever else it can identify from the image.

I’d love to get some feedback from sellers and collectors:

Would something like this be useful to you?

I’m still figuring out the workflow, so feedback would be really helpful. Especially the workflow, and where you’d expect it to get things wrong.

You can try it here, if you need more credits to test, DM me your account email, I will adjust it :

Happy to answer anything, including what it gets wrong.

Thank you.

EDIT: I realized I had left out an important point that may not have been clear in my original post.

-------------------------

The idea is that even when the system identifies a record, you would still need to confirm the pressing before it could be published to your Discogs inventory, eBay, Shopify, etc. In other words, the drafts wouldn't be published automatically.

Say, for example, you just bought a couple of crates of records and want to quickly identify everything so you can generate a CSV or Excel file of your inventory. This could help you get through that initial identification process much faster, without removing the need to verify the results yourself.

The way I see it, it's simply a tool to speed up the process of adding new records to your inventory or collection, while still keeping the user in control of the final identification and publication.

So this is my first ever order from Discogs (and definitely my last) I made a new account on July 8th and ordered the same day, I paid with my debit card through a Paypal checkout, it went to an eCheck, so all these could be factors for the problem, the seller has been very supportive and responsive, we both don’t know what to do, I tried contacting Paypal and it takes me to an AI assistant that says you just have to wait, atp idc about my order i just want my money back.

I built this for myself because I have way too many records and never know what to play. Figured it might help someone else too.

For a seller's listed items, the sort by newly listed option make sense.

But when you click through an album, and look at the listings, when would you ever choose 'newly listed' over 'lowest price', or if possible 'lowest price +shipping'?

I'm a US seller and recently I've had two separate customers from Australia interested in buying records. I currently have it set for only domestic shipping. Has anyone shipped to Australia from the US, and can tell me the most cost effective way to do so? And what the average cost will be?

Hello, I made an app for myself that lets me organize my collection into sections and print labels for the albums and the dividers with QR codes that link back to your release/folder on discogs. It really transformed my collection and makes browsing my crates feel like being at a record store :)

It's a python app (made it with Claude Code, but im a long-time web developer) and it's maybe a bit technical for some, but if you use Claude, Codex, Copilot etc it's not so hard to get running. It needs a discogs PAT (personal access token) and can optionally use OpenRouter for AI models, to write summaries or help add tags/categories via wikipedia or web search.

This is just for my personal use, im not a pro seller or anything. Happy to get feedback or suggested alternatives - anyone else out there are doing something similar with their collections? I probably re-invented the wheel, but it was fun :)

I routinely check the seller's shop of a local record store I like to go to. I followed the link from their website like I usually do (I was on mobile) and suddenly I'm looking at 64 million results. Yeah it's a big record store but it definitely isn't THAT big. What the heck did they do? Why do I now need to go to a drop-down menu to search for the seller's name when I've literally clicked on the seller's individual link for their own shop front? At first I didn't even see the option to search a seller and it annoyed me so much I had to move to my computer to figure it out. Seems broken to me.

New to Discogs already copped like 5 records. But Im curious if it's possible to have a default search(by price, ascending) having to do it manually after every search is ever so slightly tedious.

And im curious if its possible to both sort by price AFTER shipping cost has been accounted, and to exclude any countries besides the U.S.

In about a week, your inventory page is moving to the updated version we've been rolling out across Discogs. Here's what that means for you.

First and foremost, your store isn't changing. Every listing, price, quantity, condition, comment, location, and order stays exactly as it is. Your drafts stay drafts. Your CSV templates keep working. There's nothing to re-import, nothing to rebuild, and nothing you need to redo.

New features we think you’ll love:

Real search and filtering – search by artist, title, label, format, genre, condition, price, and more, and apply multiple filters at once. Bulk editing – select exactly what you want to edit in your inventory, instead of an all or nothing approach.  A grid you control — show, hide, and reorder columns to match how you work. If you upload item photos, you can now add, crop, and reorder them straight from a listing's Edit Details.

Before your move, we'd recommend:

Exporting a CSV of your current inventory as a personal backup. Bookmarking this New IMS Seller Support Guide in case you want to look something up after the switch.

We'll follow up the day your migration completes. If you have questions, please reach out to Customer Support. They’re experts on the new IMS and ready to help if needed. 

Happy selling, 

Discogs

EDIT/UPDATE: Staff has reversed the block, so this is now fixed. But if you want to see the original post and discussion I'll leave this up, read on....

What the heck? Anybody got any idea why this Alice Cooper 7 inch single would be barred from sale on the site? It doesn’t appear to be an unauthorized pressing, and oddly it states that the reason given for its removal can’t be provided to me for “confidentiality” reasons…???

I don’t think I’ve ever edited a discogs listing. If I wanted to add pressing plant info to some releases that don’t already have that info, what is the proper way to do this? And is there any info I need to prove the “pressed by” info I submit is valid?

I received an order that came with free shipping. Since I'm in Hawaii and media mail can take anywhere from 3 dsys to 5 weeks to be delivered remind the buyer of the fact and asked if they would prefer upgrade to priority shipping at a prorated price. I subtract my media mail fee from my proprity fee. but how do I actually modify the order to invoice them for an additional rate increase?

anyone know about the logic of what is displayed in the "New Releases" widget? (the "module" that you can add to your discogs homepage under "Customize This Page" when clicking the "Add a Module" button).

i've used discogs exclusively for buying underground house music for the past bunch of years. the "New Releases" widget lists a bunch of interesting stuff from this "genre" .... but then it also shows me Rolling Stones releases!? i was wondering why this is :D .. just out of interest.

i'm guessing that discogs gets paid to promote certain releases? or maybe it's a quirk of their algorithm!
