Last night I spent a few hours on discogs.com making some purchases in the marketplace. I must say that making these purchases isn’t as troublesome a process as I have envisaged.
You see, payments are made to sellers via Paypal. I had a problem with them before with regard to my subscription to pay for this very blog, no less. What happened was that I lost my switch card and had to get a new one sent to me, and therefore my issue number went up by one, from 6 to 7. Would Paypal let me amend this detail on my account with them? They wouldn’t shift for toffee, the stubborn bastards, Every time I amended the card detail a message came up telling me I hadn’t changed the card number or expiry so updating wasn’t required. This is absolutely ridiculous.
In the end I was forced to remove the card all together and resubmit a new entry from scratch. The act of doing this caused my subscription to fail, and made me so mad I chose another way to pay for the blog and left Paypal in my wake.
The discogs marketplace method of payment, however is much more reasonable. You simply click on the send monies button, put in the sellers email address and you’re off. Easy as pie, I am so far very pleased with the end to end process, although I haven’t actually received any goods as yet.
