Is there a way to mark (for lack of a better word) members for future use.  For instance if you had really good or bad transactions with someone. 

I guess what I am trying to say is there any way to make sure that you don't order a book off of a member that you have gotten bad books (ripped pages, wrong book...so on) from in the past?  Is that possible in FIFO?  I don't know if this a good idea or not but I almost wish that there was a rating or feedback system like Ebay  so that you see what kind of reputation that member has.

There's no way to block another member from ordering from you or from ordering from them. You can add them to your buddy list but since this requires asking permission for that-it's not really a good idea.  Most people just make a list and leave it by the computer. 

The likelyhood of you getting a nother book from them through FIFO is pretty slim considerring how many members there are.  The number at the top of how many are logged in is just a fraction of the actual # of members.

Thanks.  I was beginning to believe that I asked a really dumb question.  Mary, I have noticed that you have answered a lot of questions for me.  Thanks so much!

Shelia--

You can also, particularly for good transactions, add folks to your buddy list and make buddy notations like "good swapper" or whatever is appropriate.

I keep an electronic list of problem swappers in a simple Notepad text file.

Cheers,
