So i requested a book this morning, got an email confirming the request but on the site i do not see the credit deducted nor it added to the list of books requested. is it possible the other person cancelled? Wouldn't i get notified though? I'm afraid to request another copy and get sent two.

They will send an email not a PM to say it was cancelled.  Maybe the person couldn't find the book or couldn't meet your conditions if you had any.

If a sender clicks Cancel Order

  • The request will cancel automatically, and will be passed along to another member offering a copy of the same book. 
    • the requestor will NOT get an email when this happens.
    • the requestor will be able to tell that the request has passed along because the request date will have changed.
  • If there is no other copy of the book available, the book will go back onto the requestor's Wish List and the requestor will get the credit back.
    • the requestor WILL get an email when this happens.
