Coming from Discogs — what's different

If you are used to Discogs, here is what changes — and what does not.

What changes for buyers

• The price you see is the price you pay. No 8 % buyer fee at checkout. Shipping is shown up front based on the seller's destination rates.
• Combined shipping is automatic. Buy two records from the same seller and shipping is calculated once for the bundle, not twice. The cart shows the marginal cost in real time.
• EU-focused. Most of our sellers are based in the European Union, which means intra-EU buyers usually avoid customs hassle. Non-EU buyers should still budget for import VAT and a carrier handling fee — see Shipping & customs.
• No commission baked into prices. Sellers do not need to mark up by 9 % to absorb a platform commission, because there isn't one.

What changes for sellers

• You pay a flat monthly membership, not a percentage. Seller (€8/month) gives 10 listings a year. Seller Pro (€14/month) gives 20. See Tiers and what they include.
• Sellers are reviewed. Anyone can apply, but we approve a smaller pool. The catalog is smaller as a result and our buyers know it.
• Direct payment, no platform escrow. Money goes from the buyer to you — we do not handle it. See Payment goes directly to the seller.

What stays the same

• The records are still graded on the Goldmine scale (M/NM/VG+/VG/G+/G/F/P).
• Every listing is a specific copy with its own condition, photos and price.
• You can still grade-shop, sort by seller rating, and decline to buy if you don't like what you see.

What we don't try to be

We are not optimised for high listing volume. If you want to dump 500 records online tomorrow and don't care about curation, Discogs is a better tool. If you want a small, focused, EU-based pool of buyers and sellers around industrial and experimental music — that's the trade we are making.
