I received an email from PBS today that went like this

"Hello from PaperBackSwap! We wanted to ask you about these books you received recently from the club". - and then went on to list dozens and dozens of books I've received going back years. Each book has several links - such as repost, haven't read it yet, rate/review, etc.

I'm not a huge swapper, getting maybe 10-20 books a year.  I hovered over the links and they look like legitimate PBS links, but I have never gotten an email like this before.  Why would PBS ask me about a book I swapped for 2 years ago?  I'm hoping this is a glitch email.  If there is a setting I can change to not get this email again I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Pat

I've never gotten anything like that.  

I swap a lot and get these all the time. I've found (at least in the past that they seem to be wish listed books. Usually I've read and reposted long before. I usually ignore the message. 

I get those often on the sister CD site.  You can go to settings and check the box for "I do not want" emails. 

It is odd that you got an email containing so many books, sounds like a glitch and I'd recommending sending in Feedback just in case. On your setting page you can select Order Followup under the I DO NOT WANT column in the Email Settings and that should stop those emails from coming. Make sure to click the Update Email Settings button when you are done to save changes.

I've never gotten any of those, either.  I probably wouldn't respond even if I did.

I would send Feedback to the Team via 'Contact Us' to ask about this. Definitely not normal.

Thanks for the feedback - and thanks Melanie for the detailed instructions on opting out of those emails.  Probably just a glitch, I just found it so odd.

On "Order Followup" if you click the ! You get a box with this info:

This is sent out about a month after you receive a book to remind you that you can rate/review/repost it.
