Do you know if we have FAQ here? I want to know more about this website. I received 3 first credits, but now I add books and add and add, but I don't get any credits any longer. So after the first 3 credits, how many books do I have to post in order to get 1 credit?

Thanks

 

PS This site is fab.

You get one set of free credits. Now you have to wait for people to request your books.

I know you'll go and check out the FAQ but you only receive the 3 credits for the first 9 books you post.  After that you receive 1 credit for each book you mail that is received by another member.

The first three are freebies.  After that, you get one credit every time you send a book out that makes it to the sender.  In other words, you send out a book, and when it gets there, the receiver marks it as received, and you get a credit.  hope that helps.

When you go to the Help Center, click the Browse the Docs link above the first section. Then start with the main topics there. It's sort of laid out on the first need to know setup. It will really help to read as much as quickly as you can!
