re: "Delays"
@Sgt Big G "My concern is what prevents someone from listing 100 books that are all requested immediately, spending the 100 points, and never shipping any books?" There are in fact people do this, and most of them are scammers. ("Good" moochers generally won't spend all their points if they have a bunch of pending mooches.) Who prevents this from being worse than it could be? We do! While Admin often catches these accounts on their own, a lot of the time accounts are closed or put on hold because the iffy behavior is reported to the abuse team by other moochers who noticed that something about the account seemed amiss. I like to suggest that people take a look at the whole account of the person they are mooching from. Learning to evaluate user accounts is really important for a positive BookMooch experience.
