[QUOTE="Stanton, post: 845300, member: 19200"] I've seen occasional comments about Discogs sellers being able to remove negative feedback from their accounts. This rather undermines the whole feedback process and discredits the site IMO. I've got no confidence using a site where buyers' bad experiences can be expunged by sellers on request. I had a similar experience myself when I left some moderate, fair but factual comments about a purchase I had made. Seller responded - as they have the right to do - and then also left me negative in a tit-for-tat move. This was despite the fact that the transaction for him had been without hitch - he just didn't like someone being frank about his level of service. A few weeks later I noticed my feedback had been removed, presumably under pressure from the seller - as a big seller I get the feeling that Discogs don't want the boat rocking with these and so lose trade via their site. I complained to them that everything I had said was true and the way in which I had stated it broke none of their guidelines, and also complained that although my feedback had been expunged his unjustified negative feedback of me had been left. I requested either a reinstatement of my feedback or a corresponding expunging of his feedback on my account. I also asked for an explanation as to why my feedback had been wiped. I got a reply saying they were looking into it and then nothing further ever happened. As a result of this experience - and others where people with great feedback have way overgraded records I've bought - I no longer use Discogs nor will I ever again. I think it's a complete fiddle and both they and dodgy sellers are being less than open with buyers. I note that a lot of you guys use them and presumably do a lot of trade on there. What is the general consensus of your experiences? [/QUOTE]
