Whatnot to Discogs: Sell the Rest of the Crate Between Shows
Which Whatnot records to put on Discogs, how Whatnot's new commission compares with Discogs' 9% fee, grading for buyers who never saw the show, and sales synced both ways.
A record show on Whatnot moves stock fast while you’re live, but it leaves the rest of the crate waiting for the next show. Discogs sells the other way round: collectors search its database for a specific pressing at any hour, and your copy sits in the results until one of them buys it. FLUF Connect puts your Whatnot inventory on Discogs as well, and when a record sells on either one, it comes off the other.
In short
- Keep the show items and bundles on Whatnot. Send single records, CDs and cassettes with a known pressing to Discogs.
- Whatnot charges commission on the item price only; Discogs charges 9% on the item and the postage, capped at £150 or $150.
- A Discogs listing has to match a release in the Discogs database, so mystery boxes and lots stay on Whatnot.
- Sales sync in both directions, so a record bought on Discogs mid-week won’t be in Saturday’s show.
Is this for you?
It’s for record sellers who run Whatnot shows in the US, the UK or Europe and hold more stock than they can show in a month. The records that sell best live are cheap, quick to describe and fun to bid on. A first pressing with a grade that needs explaining sells better on Discogs, where a collector has time to read your notes. If everything you own goes in mystery-box breaks, there is nothing here to send.
Which items to send
| Good for Discogs | Keep on Whatnot |
|---|---|
| Single LPs, 7-inches, CDs and cassettes you can identify by catalogue number | Mystery boxes, grab bags and “pick a record” breaks |
| Rare pressings, imports and anything priced above a typical show bid | Bulk lots of unidentified records |
| Records with condition notes buyers need to read | Turntables, merch and other non-music items |
Discogs is a database of more than 15 million releases with a marketplace attached. Each listing points at one release, which supplies the title, tracklist and label. Make sure the Whatnot item says the artist, title, format and catalogue number before you send it.
Fees on each side
Whatnot changed its commission on 21 September 2026. According to its seller fees page, the rate now depends on the category and on your total sales in each four-week period, going as low as 3% for the biggest sellers. Commission is charged on the item price, without shipping or tax. Payment processing is extra, on the whole order: 2.9% + $0.30 in the US, and 2.42% + £0.25 plus VAT in the UK.
Discogs charges 9% of the item and the shipping, with a minimum of $0.10 and a maximum of $150 per item (£0.10 and £150 in pounds). Discogs takes the fee when the buyer pays, and PayPal takes its own processing fee from the same payment.
The cap matters for expensive records. On a $2,000 first pressing, Discogs takes $150, which is 7.5%. On a $15 record with $5 shipping, Discogs takes $1.80, because its fee also applies to the shipping. Check your tier in Whatnot’s Seller Hub before you set your Discogs prices.
Grading for collectors who can’t hold the record
On a live show a buyer sees the record turned in your hands. On Discogs they read your grade. Its grading guide follows the Goldmine standard and asks you to grade the media and the sleeve separately, play the record through, and use the comments to explain anything else. Since September 2026 you can also add your own photos to a Discogs listing, as long as they show the actual copy. Stills from a show stream, with overlays or text, break Discogs’ photo guidelines.
Sending Whatnot items to Discogs
- Connect Whatnot in FLUF Connect, from the FLUF app on your phone or the browser extension, so your Whatnot inventory appears in FLUF.
- Connect Discogs from its card on the Channels screen by signing in to Discogs and approving access.
- Filter your inventory to Whatnot and select the records.
- Choose Discogs as the destination and review the Discogs price.
- Add the grade and comments to each record, then publish.
When something sells
| What happens | What FLUF does | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| It sells on Discogs | The order comes into FLUF and the Whatnot listing comes down | Take the record out of the show pile and post it |
| It sells on Whatnot, live or from your shop | The order comes into FLUF and the Discogs listing is removed | Ship it with the Whatnot label |
| You change the price in FLUF | Updates the listings it manages | Nothing |
The risk to watch is a record you put in a show by hand that isn’t in your Whatnot inventory. FLUF only knows about items it can see, so run shows from listed stock if those records are also on Discogs.

It depends on the price. Whatnot's commission depends on your category and four-week sales and is charged on the item only, plus payment processing. Discogs charges 9% of the item and the shipping, capped at $150 or £150, so it gets cheaper on expensive records.
