discogs question

I made a purchase for the 1st time on Discogs, the seller answered as fast as a shark providing me the total amount and the info i needed to pay via bank transfer, after i made the payment i sent him a message to ask him if he could tell me when he ll send the record. Since then (1week & a half) no reply , the guy is a record shop owner in Austria, i checked also the records list and the one i paid for isnt listed anymore.
Im not on a hurry but i was wondering if its a common practice there, i mean a single mail like " i had the money i ll sent the lp soon" would been enough ... and it doesnt take much time to write .

I have the feeling i'll never see my purchase Confused

It's fairly common for sellers forget to update the status of the record from my experience - I've only had one poor experience on discogs out of many, many purchases in the last year or two, and even then I eventually got my record, it only took a paypal claim....

It's also common for buyers to not leave feedback, and as a general rule, I don't leave the buyer feedback until they leave it for me to cover mine butt....

Thanx, fingers crossed then... And without paypal , no claim possible.
What i found weird is that he first answered at the speed of the light and now silence ... Wait & see.

meybe he sells a lot and forgets regularly to update the process from "invoice sent" to "payment received". just be patient and wait.

had to wait for two LPs from canada for about 10-11 weeks and the seller replied to answers always just after 14 days or so. but in the end, everything went fine.

you can always rate the communication (or lack thereof) in their feedback at the end.

Fif, ça arrive souvent. Si le gars à 98% de taux de satisfaction, je ne me ferais pas trop de soucis?

I wish it was mandatory for buyers AND sellers to leave feedback after purchases/sales. It'd oblige people to not behave like pricks during transactions and come on, it takes two seconds and makes everyone happy (unless you're a dick, in which case you deserve to be called one.)

I think a good third of the people I ever dealed with on Discogs never left me any feedback Confused
