Not all listings showing in Discogs app?

Is Discogs making up listings that aren’t there or is it hiding listings from me?
I look up vinyl albums on the Discogs app on my iPhone and under the Sales History section it will say how many are for sale and what the lowest starting price is. But very regularly when I click into the actual listings, they don’t correlate.
For example, right now I’m looking for a vinyl copy of the album “You Are Not the Boss of Me” by Sicko. The album page promises three copies for sale starting at $3.12. But when I go to the listings there is one copy for $48 euros and that’s it. I have reset all of my filters, and if I look at the filters it claims there are three total items (if I look in the “year” filter for example, it claims there are three items for sale released in 1997).
What the hell am I missing/doing wrong? This feels like it’s probably something easy/obvious but I’m tired and thus stumped.

Response by poster: Ahh that solves it! I see them on the mobile site in my browser but not in the app, which is what I always use. I guess I’ll just have to settle for continually being excited for cheap prices and then disappointed when they aren’t for the US. Thank you Wobbuffet!!

On my computer I see all three, with one of the three - the one listed for €2.90 sold by Grondaia - listed as not being available in Canada (my location) and then two more that are available to me in Canada. On the app (not the mobile site) on my phone, I only see the two that are available to me in Canada, reproducing what you are seeing, including the 48 euro one.

Reach out to the seller(s) - I find sometimes they don't offer shipping to a country simply because they haven't bothered to setup the rates in their account and they're probably willing to do so if you ask.
