    Based on the forums, they used to have more payment options which depended on the sellers.
    But at some point Discogs signed some PayPal-only contract and now nothing else is allowed.

    Which is also what’s probably killing it now. I’ve heard there’s some extra fees for the sellers, and one thing just struck me. I’ve seen seller on their forum asking for help if there’s a way they could get a refund for processing fees after the buyer cancelled a larger order. The answer was: Nope, non-refundable.
    So what happened is the buyer got full refund, and seller was forced to pay processing fees which in this case were “in the 3 figures, so not insignificant”.

    Lastly:

    If you encounter a problem with sending payment, please do not send payment off Discogs. This is considered fee avoidance and is a violation of our Buyer Policy.

    Edit: I thought this was a reply on different comment. Sorry. Forget it.
