Unlock Forum posting with Annual Membership. |

I am new to PBS and after receiving my first request for a book I looked through the requestors wish list and see that I have 3 additional books that they want. I haven't had the opportunity to post them yet so they are not on my bookshelf. I sent a PM and the person does want these books. Is there a way that I can post these books and be sure a specific member gets to order them? How are deals offered? |

If you go onto the member's Thanks for correcting me. I did mean wishlist.

As a clarification of the above, go to their Wish List, and post the books direct to their Wish List. |

Yes, go to their wishlist and post from there. Be careful not to click on the book first (and open the information page), as that will post the book FIFO. Smart of you to ask first, b/c some members do not keep enough credits on hand to accept multiples without some 'arranging' first. |

From the Help Center: Can I post a book directly to someone's Wish List?
Yes. If you have a book that is on someone's Wish List, then all you need to do to offer that book directly to that member (and NOT to the first person on the Wish List) is to go to the member's Wish List and click the [Post this Book] button there. Be sure the ISBN on your book matches the ISBN on her Wish List!
Please note:
If you have trouble with this (if the book is offered to/requested by someone other than your friend after you post it), these are the possibiities:

In the Book Bazaar there are rules for posting there. Listed in a red sticky thread at the top of that forum http://www.paperbackswap.com/How-Use-Forum-Please-Read/topic/39715/ The rules of the Book Bazaar specifically prohibit offering Wish List books there.
There is an exception to that rule, ONE thread, the monthly Wish List Multiples thread. This thread has additional rules listed in it that people need to follow in order for us to be allowed to offer WL book in multiples in order to save on postage. What John is asking about is different that someone just posting because it is a private transaction already started with a member. Someone posting their own thread in the Book Bazaar is not in a private transaction with someone, they are just posting to the general membership and in violation of the rules there. If someone posts in the WL Multiples thread in the Bazaar following the additional rules there, then there is no problem. Its an additional step, but it is one we need to take to be able to offer multiple WL books and save on postage. Last Edited on: 8/24/13 4:45 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |
