Why did my Discogs orders drop?
The Discogs help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: When a seller takes inventory offline, for example for a break, listings leave the active sale, so new orders can stop until they are listed again.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Discogs help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.
What causes it?
When a seller takes inventory offline, for example for a break, listings leave the active sale, so new orders can stop until they are listed again.
In the Discogs help:
This will immediately remove all of your For Sale listings from the active sale, but keep the data intact.
Take Your Inventory Offline, read 2026-11-12.Orders can be cancelled by the seller or automatically when a buyer does not pay, so fewer orders may end up as completed sales.
In the Discogs help:
The order has been cancelled, either by the seller or automatically after no payment was received.
What Do The Different Order Statuses Mean?, read 2026-11-12.When an order is cancelled because an item is unavailable, Discogs takes that item off the seller's listings, which leaves fewer items for sale.
In the Discogs help:
The items on orders cancelled as Item Unavailable, will automatically be removed from the seller's listings

How do I check it myself?
Look at orders by status, so cancelled orders are not mixed in with paid ones.
In the Discogs help:
Only show orders with this status.
Discogs API Documentation, read 2026-11-12.Count orders by the day they were created, and compare the same days before and after the drop.
In the Discogs help:
Only show orders created after this ISO 8601 timestamp.

How would I know the day it starts?
- Feder reads your sales and your marketplace orders from Discogs each day and compares each day with your own history.
- It tells you when marketplace orders go quiet or either number moves outside its usual range.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See what Feder reads from Discogs, which feeds Wins. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Discogs.
