Discogs - Help, Tricks, Secrets And Tips

Random - ordered from a new seller who only had 3 positive feedback ratings, no neutral/negative. He forgot to put my apartment number on the package but luckily I was able to retrieve it from the post office this morning before it was returned to sender. It was packaged great and showed up exactly as graded, but like I said, it almost was returned to sender because of his error.

Would you provide neutral feedback? Or what feedback would you provide? He was quick to respond and offer to send the other copy he had but I told him to hold off just in case I was able to snag it. He said he thought he put the apartment number but he definitely didn’t. I’d say all things considered it wasn’t a negative experience, so I’d say neutral is warranted. Would you all agree?

Being a new seller once, I certainly made my share of mistakes. I would give him a pass as he seemed conscientious and wanted to do the right thing.

Discogs sellers live and die by their ratings and a neutral to me is a negative.

Yeah and that’s why I wanted to get some additional perspective here first. I occasionally sell on the platform too but it’s more of a hobby for me, and unfortunately for my seller rating I’ve had more negotiated transactions that usually result in private sales where positive (or any) feedback can’t be left even though everyone’s always been happy upon receipt. Definitely understand how important early feedback is which is why I at least want to leave some rating.

Neutrals are usually negative to me too, but attention to detail is important and thankfully I’ve been in this position before so I knew how to handle it. Wouldn’t want this to happen to anyone else, that’s for sure. I think I’ll end up leaving positive feedback, hopefully he’ll use this as a learning experience haha
