I don't quite understand the concept yet... if I post books I'd like to swap do I still have to pay to get other books or are they free like mine are for others??

WELCOME TO PBS!!!!!

You only have to pay postage to mail out books to other members when they are requested from you (you will get an e-mail notifying you of the request(s). The cost to mail an average HC is about $2.77 (media mail rate). It costs you nothing to request books from other members. The rate is 1 credit for paper books and 2 credits for audio books. If you do not have enough credits, you can buy some in the kiosk. Once another member marks a book you sent as received, you get 1 credit.

Jessica - welcome to PBS. :)

In order to get books via PBS, you need credits. You get credits when books you sent are marked received by other members. Once you have a credit, then you can order any book you want that is available. When you order it, the credit will be deducted from your account.

I recommend you go to the Help Documents and read:

• How PBS works
• Club Basics

Welcome to PBS Jessica.  You are correct, you only pay postage on books you send (and receive a credit when they are marked received on the other end).  When requesting books, you use a credit but incure no mailing expenses.

I think everyone has explained it.

So I'll just say WELCOME.

Welcome to our addiction Jessica.

I won't repeat what everyone else has said, but WELCOME and practice being patient!

Welcome to PBS!
