With Disconnect’s new features, you can list items on Discogs instantly. Listing products directly through Disconnect makes the process of product syncing with connected e-commerce or POS platforms much faster and easier.
In this blog, we will walk you through how Disconnect helps you to list the products on Discogs & some other recent developments. Please carefully review it :
Step1: Login Disconnect, click on the list item on Discogs
Step2: Find what you want to sell To list an item for sale, use the search bar that’s at the top of the page to look for the item you’d like to sell. You can search the item by searching a release or search by a specific Parameter.

Step4: Fill up all the necessary details: Media and sleeve conditions, status, price, quantity, weight, etc. and list it for sale.
The products will get listed on Discogs & Disconnect directly within a seconds as soon as it is listed for sale.
(a) Media and sleeve conditions: Describe the condition of your item, select the condition of the media and the sleeve from the dropdown menu.
(b) Comments and private comments: Comments (item condition) are optional, but they will help your buyer better understand the exact condition of the item. If you’re a larger seller, you may find it useful to add private comments, such as the physical location or reminders about that particular item.
(c) Item location: You can add the location of the listed item as per convenience, for example – upper stake, row 5, etc. (it is optional and private)

(f) Quantity: You can mention the no. of copies you want to sell in “quantity” field.
(Note: If you are using the FETCH INVENTORY QUANTITY features from Discogs currently, then now you can use that field for some other purpose as well. Now using the Quantity field in Disconnect can list your products on Discogs with multiple quantities and relist the items once it get sold on Discogs.)
(g) Weight: “Item weight” will not be automatically filled in Disconnect, you can add the item weight here as you want.
Step5: Once you click on – list item for sale, you will get a pop-up as “your item has been listed in Discogs successfully”.
