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.

Discogs leaves disabled people with no recourse. It happened again. Discogs will remove feedback to keep the seller's feedback rating higher than it should be even though it didn't violate any of their feedback policies. In the end, both the seller and Discogs don't mind leaving disabled people high and dry with no recourse. Discogs will probably try to weasel their way through this by saying that my feedback violated some kind of internal policy must be left so opened-ended that virtually no negative feedback can be left.

discogs is not a place for you put two stars because Discogs is still a good marketplace and generally a useful site, despite the recent fee increase has led some sellers to leave. negative 5 star for the entire collapsed vote / contribution / peer-review system. As a new user it's very easy to make some wrong edits and you will get bombed by a gang of ogs on that site in names of the so called "guideline". Oh yeah, even if you did something correct which contradicts their belief, they would still bomb you because they got a hard slap on the face. Massive votes were randomly dropped if they were unhappy with you but they wont vote again after you fix it, as they would tell you they are on a duty to fix thousands of submission daily. You can see numerous complaints about this over-passionate group of users everywhere online which constantly frustrates and blocks new users and artists. You could see user complains about being harassed months on reviews.com, while the men is still at large and be very active on the site. You can even see songs about those toxic users by artists because a lot of abusive behavior is largely tolerated and backed by the staff there, while on the site's forum you will just see "oh we win, losers delete their accounts or got banned" "Discogs is not a place for you, blablabla" this community could be much better and friendly

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.

All good for me. A lot of negative reviews but I can only speak as I find. Bought from various sellers on the website and have had nothing but good experiences. Most recent item came from overseas, arrived quickly and carefully packaged.
