Had no time today to comment as real busy at work but here goes my 3 cents.
As a very long time seller/buyer on eBay and relatively fresh Discogs seller/buyer I feel I have a little perspective on both.
From what I have seen, Discogs gets a slightly better audience than eBay and you are likely to reap higher prices but the wait may be longer and you better describe it and the exact copy etc to the tee!
Ebay obviously has a massive audience so good exposure and if you price it fairly and competitively it is likely to move more quickly. However eBay is also more likely to suffer more potential problems vis refunds/returns as it is all about buyer protection. Like Elvis seller protection has left the building!
On both I would advise listing with best offer option but not for the reasons others have already mentioned. By giving the best offer option, the majority of buyers are going to take that route. That gives YOU, the seller , the opportunity to research THEM, the buyer, check their feedback etc and if anything looks suspicious then decline their offer and never have to deal with them or their potential problems. This has worked well for myself over the last 20 years.
Good luck out there, its a cruel world...lol
