I started to write a paragraph and it got really wordy, so for simplicity decided to use bullet points:
Am I breaking this rules by not marking it as received? If I mark it received, but with a problem, will I go back first position spot in line?

if the ISBN matches you should mark it as received...if it is the incorrect ISBN then you should mark it received with a problem....and then you will have to ask for your credit back. the way the system works...is if they used the same ISBN for later editions...the oldest date stays....(this is because most people want the most recent one)...(trust me,.,I know this isn't always the case (I like old, first editions of books too).
But...if you received the book you have to mark it as received.
Does this answer your question?

If you hadn't verified with the sender prior to her sending I'd say you should mark the book received if the ISBN #'s correspond. But since you did verify, regardless of the ISBN #, I would not mark the book received and I would return the book with my own money. I'd send it return-receipt requested as well so you know she got the book back. Then she can have her book and repost it. The system would then give me my credit back automatically. |

The Help Center sez: (under There is a problem with a book I received!) (link within above How to tell if the book you received is a "wrong book") Wrong-book transactions:A "wrong book" at PBS means a book that does not match its listing in the PBS Database in one or more of the FOUR necessary aspects: ISBN, Title, Author and Booktype.
... A Wrong Book is also a book that was inappropriate for posting at PBS (but not because of its condition): for example, an Advanced Reader Copy, or a leaflet/pamphlet/booklet without ISBNs.------------------ So you should mark the book received if the ISBN matches and ask R&R to be put back to #1 on the Wish List for the book. It might be hard to get the 1970 pub date if it was reprinted with the same ISBN, though--the later versions are probably more common. Pub date matching the listing is not one of the things you can always count on at PBS. Yes, IMO it would be breaking the rules not to mark the book received. Did you verify with the sender, or did you mean that you just checked the listing to see the pub date? Last Edited on: 7/27/07 6:55 AM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

If you PM'd the sender about the date and she told you it was the 1970 copy, and then sent you a 1988 copy, she was in the wrong and should refund your credit. What was the book and what was the ISBN number? I'm surprised it even had an ISBN back in 1970, most books weren't getting them at that point, they'd only been started in 1969 and weren't mandatory yet. |

A book that old that was printed in the U.S. is unlikely to have an ISBN. In fact, I'd think that the only way the original edition could be found would be as a non-ISBN listing. |
