I haven't had any requests so far for any of my books so I have pruchased credits at least two times. How many times am I allowed to purchase credits? I don't mind purchasing, but need to know if there is a limit on purchasing. I have only been a member since the last week in May. By the way, I really like how helpful and friendly the members have been when i asked a question. I'm really enjoying the books I have recieved. Thanks so much.

You're allowed to purchase up to 30 credits per month.

Is that from the Kiosk, or inclusive of offers from other users in the Book Bazaar?

The limit only applies to the kiosk.

If you go into the book bazaar there are folks selling credits (usually via Paypal, some of us also take check/MO).  The prices from other members are lower than from the kiosk, so it's not only good for the club to reuse current credits, but it also saves you money!

I'm sorry for the incomplete info.  I tend to forget about the BB as I don't buy credits.  Thanks Kayote.
