Discogs - Help, Tricks, Secrets And Tips

So, I have the setting to only sell to buyers with a certain percent positive or above. Any reason I've had multiple times buyers have been able to purchase without any ratings? This current one has no collection or ratings, but paid right away and created their account a couple months ago. Trying to decide whether to trust shipping this record out or not. Thanks for any advice on this

I believe that setting is flawed and will only block users who incur negative ratings while allowing new users with zero ratings to pass through the filter.

I have had this same thing happening, no one has had an answer. So far, I've had no issues. I canceled one that joined day of the purchase, they left a bad review about communication. It got taken down.

I cant find it now but Discogs has said they do this to encourage new users. No feedback is not filtered. Once they have feedback it starts working.

Seems flawed but new users wouldn't have much choice and probably not purchase.

I guess I get that. Problem with this one was an account set up a couple months ago, no collection, and no seller or buyer rating. And the record being sold wasn't just a $20 record. Giving it a shot and hoping for the best, maybe it will be their start!
 
For those of you who use Discogs Enhancer there is a new feature that I discovered today and is pretty cool - Quick Search Tracklist

This makes each track in a release page a searchable link. Just click the song title and it will open a google search of the artist/album/track in a new page. Great way to figure out if that obscure post-hardcore screamo 7" you have in your wantlist by a band from Enumclaw has ever been reissued or has a bandcamp page.
