Here is the best way I have found to use paperbackswap. I go through catalogs or websites that have books or suggestions I like and then put those books on my wishlist - I think they allow up to 200 items on your wishlist. If the book is entered into the system they will offer it to you first. If there is a book that you are sure you want you can put it on auto request and when it is entered they system will accept it for you.
If you don't want to package and mail books you can just buy book credits. I don't mind shipping books out especailly when I know when I want a book it will come to me for Free. I do try to keep 10 credits or so available. So if a book from my wish list is posted I have credits available.
Another good way to use the system is to buddy friends on Paperbackswap - you can see each other's lists and even share credits! I have been able to get copies of books I like to give away - Me? Obey Him - or get bbooks for our homeschool. I do sometimes splurge and get books for Me with no Guilt.
The system is easy to use and a great way to save money. Don't forget to Buddy me if you join!
