This makes a lot of sense and I never have thought about it. It’s surprising how many other sellers have this as their terms. Reading this again I can see how standoffish it reads.
Thanks for the input!

Also Paypal has seller protection as well as buyer protection which should cover you in the case of package loss (not damage though from what I understand); something worth looking into @folsom_lives if you're planning on using Paypal

I will add that when I ship an expensive package, especially with a record I can't replace if it breaks and I don't want to refund in case of damage, I use Pirateship.com because their insurance is much less expensive than USPS. It's a third party, and I haven't had to use it yet. but for a dollar or two extra, it's some peace of mind, and I think my buyers appreciate it.

I am planning on using PayPal. Good to know it has protection both ways.
What do you guys do when the Discogs address is different than the Paypal address? I asked for confimation from the buyers that the Paypal address is correct, but seems like I could just send it to the Paypal address and be covered. It's taking days for some to respond and I'm not sure the notification system in Discogs is that great. I don't get any of the Discogs emails myself even though I have email notifications turned on.
I usually just print the label through Discogs at that point if they don’t get back to me in a few days.

Roughly how old is their discogs account? If you click on their name it will show the join date on the top left. If it's recent, I'd say that address is likely accurate.

I have it listed in my terms that I only ship to the PayPal address and I send the customer a pre-written boilerplate message. I just mention both addresses and let them know I can proceed immediately to packing/shipping if they can receive mail at their PayPal address and that, if they need it sent to their Discogs address, I can arrange a quick refund/re-invoice so they can enter their preferred address in PayPal upon checkout.
Most people can get mail at their PayPal address. A few people need to be re-invoiced. A handful of people take 2-3 days to get back to me. So far, they've all appreciated that I checked and no one has expressed frustration about the delay caused by the confirmation. And I don't mind the 2-3 day wait on my end.
I have seen some other sellers who just always ship to either the PayPal address, no questions asked, as it keeps their seller protection in tact and lets them burn through orders without delay. I have also seen people say they always ship to the Discogs address, no questions asked, which seems riskier to the seller to me but it seems like everyone has their own preference.

When I notice different addresses, I always message for confirmation. If that doesn't work I ship to PayPal address, so I can be covered through with their insurance.

This is exactly how I handle it to. Message first, if no response within 2-3 days I send to the PayPal address.

ugh...
people still voting no even when we have confirmed it's the same release - only a few words on the hype sticker changed.

Really getting tired of having to revert the same edit
Take a look at the last 4 months of this sub. Fat Possum originally released it in 2009, but has subsequently released other slightly different pressings over the years, which they do for a lot of their releases I've noticed.
No one seems to read prior edits before changing the date to 2009 - so I'm EI'ing every change on this one from now on.

I've been enjoying the great Phoebe Bridgers Copycat Killer Repress debate. Almost feel like removing it from my collection so I stop getting email notices.Really getting tired of having to revert the same edit

I'll have to take a look at that one.
Same here, just littering up the inbox at this point.
I was tempted to just propose the color of money and sadness but figured that wasn't a productive comment.

There's also almost a whole page of argument about how the color should be displayed for good measure.

Looks like a repress to me....at least that's how I'd enter it if it was my sub. Using the same GZ "215006M" from the 2020 release shows that it is a repress of that plate
Colors can be tricky....go with what it looks like or marketing color.
Marketing colors can be so off of what is actually released, that I usually go with what it is actually released as.

I also recently had some issues with people really wanting to change the date of the German DMM White Album.
This has been known as the 1985 German White vinyl White Album for YEARS - probably before Discogs was around.

I just find it interesting that something can be fine for years on the site, then some one makes an edit - it gets reverted, then it's no-stop edits...usually by new users that seem to think it's OK to make the same edit over and over again.

oh really? you don't say? is that why the last jackass got an EI from you?
it drives me bonkers that people will not look at the submission history when editing. or they provide zero citation for what they're adding.
