Marketplace - Buying Music

How to Buy

Step 1: Register
Registering is free and easy. You can register at http://www.discogs.com/users/create.

Step 2: Find what you want to buy (Records, CDs, Tapes, etc...)

  • Searching – If you’re looking for a specific item, select the Marketplace link from the menu bar at the top of the page and use the search field to find it – you can use the filters to help narrow your search.
  • Browsing – If you aren’t sure what you want to buy, you can use the filters within the Marketplace to browse items that meet your desired criteria (e.g., Techno records from 1992 that are less than $5).

Note: Before buying, click on the sellers name to view payment details, and verify if they accept the method of payment you would like to use.

Step 3: Buying what you find
Click the “Add to Cart” button to add what you’ve found to your cart. If you want to look for additional items, click the “Continue Shopping” button. If you’ve completed your shopping, click the “Checkout” button and enter your information on the following checkout page to complete and confirm your order.

Step 4: Paying for what you’ve bought
The seller(s) you purchased from will send you a total for your order(s), including shipping, handling, and payment instructions.

Note: It’s recommended that you always use a secure payment method such as a credit card or other payment service that protects you as a buyer.

Step 5: Leave Feedback for the Seller
Feedback is optional but should be left, once a transaction has been completed, so that other buyers may benefit from your experience. It’s important to remember that once feedback is left, it becomes a permanent part of the user’s profile. You should always try to work out any problems with the seller before leaving feedback – most issues can be resolved through good communication.
