I was thinking that all it takes is one person to accidentally buy one record for $70,000, and the scam worked. But then I thought, who even has a card with a $70,000 credit limit? Not me, not even close.
 
Well, Kevin Shields is being a fucking prick about a download card that wasn’t included in the record I sent. I provided the code and it didn’t work for them. So I sent him the files I had downloaded from Bandcamp via Dropbox. He sent me a very patronizing response. Can’t please everyone I guess. 9D74F727-7575-44DC-9090-C1E961C6235E.jpeg

Yeesh, he could have just sent an email to the label.
 
I had someone purchase from me today and within 5 mins messages to cancel order with no reasoning just “cancel order” After peeping their feedback they are a habitual non payer/order canceling buyer. Should I:
A: oblige and cancel the order.
B: do nothing and let the 4 day non payment cancellation go into effect giving them a negative strike.

I have canceled orders at buyers request multiple times for various reasons but this buyer with multiple cancellations is just rubbing me the wrong way.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Who in their right mind expects a download card from a used record to be present, much less work?

Yeah that happens from time to time unfortunately. Especially new users and I’m not entirely sure why. I have just cancelled it in the past.

I had a guy do that a few months ago. Purchase and then immediately ask to cancel.

Same person bought the same record a few days later and actually bought it. Like he was on the fence and was going back and forth. It was a $10 record so nothing that'd break the bank.

glad they actually followed through eventually for you. This person has 5 neutral and 23 neg reviews in the past 12 months. 63 total negative :oops:. I updated my buyer min feedback to 90% so that would prevent them from buying again.
 
After reading through the last few stories I have a question about a recent sale before I ship it out.

I have a minimum buyer rating set, but apparently this doesn't prevent new buyers with no feedback. So this person recently purchased a record from me. Payment was prompt, address looks legit, but they have no records in their collection and they joined over a year ago. I really don't want to cancel an order just on a hunch. I know I was a new buyer once and this particular record isn't all that valuable.

So my question is, what can I do to protect myself from any shenanigans? I plan on insuring the package through the USPS, but if the buyer claims nothing was delivered or the wrong thing was delivered anything I can do but pray?

I'm not sure if there's really anything you can really do. If it's a really expensive record - you can insure like you're planning in the case of "lost packages". If it's like ridiculously expensive, you might just want to bite the bullet and cancel if you absolutely want to be safe but you risk a bad feedback from the buyer - you can also try talking with them and see if they're ok with you just cancelling and do a cancel per buyer request which nullifies bad rating. But I usually give new buyers a chance and just watch the order more closely. Maybe film yourself pack & ship it or something incase Paypal dispute pops up lol
If it's like a 20 dollar record or something, just ship it out and hope for the best - I'd say most of the time, buyers are legit for lower cost items.

This is what I am thinking. I want to try and get a reply from them in the chat. I think I'll just end up having a 15 minute long video of me physically packaging it and driving to the post office LOL.

I probably wouldn’t worry too much about them not having any showing in their collection. I’ve sold to several like this without any problem. It could be a secondary account? One the significant other does not know about to make purchase on? Idk lol
My significant other and I share an account and whenever she would try and surprise me with something in the want list I would immediately know by email and notifications. Lol she didn’t think that part through.
I’d just be sure to insure it!

Does the submission of the release mention the download code and if it does, did you mention that yours doesn't include the code?

It is easy to overlook, but some people consider these things the same as any other insert and if they are mentioned in the sub notes, then they should be mentioned if it is included in what you are selling, too.

This is another reason I just don't bother selling on Discogs.

But fuck that guy....they seem like an asshole.
