How does the Hold affect your Bookshelf?

• The books that are on your Bookshelf at the time the Hold goes into effect will be hidden from requests.

• This does not include books that are involved in a Wish List Hold or an active transaction.
• The FIFO order of each book will be preserved during the Hold; it will not "lose its place in line" to get requested.
• Books that are already involved in an active request will not be affected by the Hold.
  • Any book request that was submitted before the Hold went into effect will not be affected by the Hold
  • Any book request you submit at any time (before, during or after the Hold will not be affected by the Hold.
• This means that all auto-emails associated with an active transaction will be sent to you as usual
  • You will still get auto-emails asking if you have received a book that is en route to you 14 and 21 days and 25 days after the book was marked mailed by the sender.
  • You will still get "second" and "third" notifications for previously-submitted requests to which you have not responded.
  • You will still get auto-email reminders to mark your outgoing books mailed before the deadline if you have not done so.

• Books newly Posted to your Bookshelf during a Hold will be hidden from requests.

How to tell if your account is on Vacation Hold:

To see if you have an active Vacation Hold (and see the end date), just:

• log into your account and look at your My Account main page:

http://www.paperbackswap.com/members/index.php

• If you have an active or scheduled hold, a message about that will appear in a pink box near the top of the page. (There will also be a button in that message to "unhold your account".)
