Hi Mona!

I noticed that you're relatively new and wanted to let you know that you can't ask for additional credits for books &/or items.  Here's the help center's info on it:

 
 
 
Close this Window

Can I offer/ask more than 1 credit for a book?

No.

  • A bound book "costs" 1 credit at PBS (no exceptions)

  • An audiobook "costs" 2 credits at PBS 

    • some "children's-length" audiocassette items cost 1 credit each

Offering to "pay" (or asking a requestor to "pay"--see below) more than "PBS price" for a book is not permitted. 

Why?

  • If the book is Wishlisted, offering more than the PBS "price" for the book may allow members to leapfrog over others in the Wish List for the book. This obviously is not fair.
  • Even if the book is not Wish Listed, a "free market" system could lead to "bidding" for a book, and auctions are NOT permitted on PBS.
  • One reason is that auctions are subject to state laws, and as PBS members belong to various states, this could be illegal.
  • The other reason is that we want all members to have a fair chance to get books on PBS.  Pitting those who have lots of credits to spare against those who don't have a lot of credits at the time goes against the very spirit of PBS--the fair sharing of books. Everybody equal.

Asking for more than "PBS price" for a book is considered bookselling

  • Bookselling is not permitted at PBS
  • If you feel that your book is too valuable (or too costly to ship) to be swapped for "PBS price", you should not post it here.
  • If this is a matter of postage cost (your book is heavy), remember that you can also request a "heavy" book with the credit you get for sending yours--so it all evens out.

 


 

 

 

 


If this information didn't answer your question, let us know.
 
 

 Sorry for being the bearer of bad news!!  I just didn't want to see you get in trouble.  :)

Take care!

Thanks, some one did PM me so I would know.  Apparently I didn't read all the fine print ;>)

I'll just have to ebay these cause the are worth more than the $3 credit.


Thanks!
