Your Experience Selling on Discogs


I recently opened an account on Discogs to sell some records.  They sold fairly quickly.  However I do not understand the fee structure and perhaps someone with experience can explain it.  I did email them with questions regarding the fees but all I got back was a cut and paste paragraph from their website.  I do not think they have any kind of formal "contact us" other than bot responses. The fees I understand are the paypal fee, 4%, the discog fee, 8% but there was also a "partner fee" of 17%.  The "partner fee" is described on their site as "the term used to encompass the total fees associated with your order".All told, my share of the fees was 26% of sale, excluding the shipping cost, which I assumed.  I do not mind paying fees for services rendered but this site seems to have a lot of hidden fees that do not pop up until the sale is over.

I agree with the others on cataloging my collection. It was so easy and used the mobile app as I combed through and documented my collection. It's nice to be able to sort by various filters and easily share your collection with others as needed.

The fees are reasonable (~12% total), less than eBay and I have yet to deal with any of the freaky buyers and those wanting to return things for no reason like I had on eBay previously.
