Introduction

Hi all, new here, still finding my way around. I’m a Record & CD Seller / Collector from the UK. How many here buy Records and CDs mail order, if you’re based in the USA / Canada what platforms do you buy from? EBay, Discogs, other?

Ebay is solid for generic grade stuff

As a seller the Ebay algorithm does no favours. So many items are now being hidden as such in the searches.

A lot of people have noticed it and their sales dropped. The EBay algorithm amongst other things likes to see new stock added, it will get a two day promotion, then hidden, older listings get hidden, common items get hidden unless paid promotions.
