Posting/Sending a Wish Listed book

When you Post a book that another member is actively wishing for, the book will be offered to the member immediately - it will go into a Wish List Hold on your My Account main page (instead of onto your My Bookshelf list). Your My Account main page will show the notation below:

Reserved On: (date)
Status: Waiting 48 hours for other member
to confirm that they still want this book.

When the Wishing member confirms that she wants the book, you will be notifed by email.

If she/he declines the book (or does not respond within 48 hours), your book will then be offered to the next member on the Wish List for that book.
- You will not get an auto-email notifying you of this cancellation; the offer will just be passed along.
- If no other members are wishing for that book, it will go onto your Bookshelf. (If this happens, you will get an auto-email telling you that this has happened.)
If you have Posted the book in error, you will not be able to remove the pending offer.
- You will need to wait until the book is requested, then click "I cannot send" on the request
- You will have a chance to send a Personal Message to the requestor when you cancel.

Additional Possibilities:

If the book is set to auto-request on the a member's Wish List, the book will be requested automatically, and you will get the email notifying you of the request about an hour after you post the book.
- In the meantime (before the hour is up), you will see the auto-requested item ONLY on your Bookshelf, with the notation "request pending-1 hr max." next to it.

However, if the Wisher then cancels this request, you may log in and find no request there!

You will have received an email notification of the auto-request, but you will NOT have received an email notification of the first Wisher's cancellation because the offer has been passed along automatically to the next Wisher, without generating an auto-email notification. If no one else is wishing for the book, and the first (auto-requestor) cancels, then you WILL receive an email notifying you of the cancellation.

If you receive a notification email of a request, but do not see the request when you log in to respond to it, you can confirm what has happened by checking your Transaction Archive to see if the first transaction is there.

To get to your Transactions Archive:

from My Account: click the link "Transaction Archive" at the top of your My Account page (in the yellow bar)

from anywhere on the site: place your cursor over My Account in the toolbar at the top of the site, and choose "Transactions" from the menu that drops down.

If you post a Wish Listed book when the Wisher's account is on Hold:
- The Wishing member will not be offered your book unless the item was set to auto-request.
- If the item was set to auto-request but the wishing member has no credits, the book will not be offered to her
  - If she gets credits (and no one else has requested your book in the meantime), your book will be auto-requested by her account
  - If she takes her account off Hold and still has no credits, your book will be offered to her.
