Well, the team responded.  I didn't get an answer to the *why* a DVD is a credit, or *why* the system told me I needed more $, but at least I now know that DVDs do cost a credit.  And I think they rather contradicted themselves by saying "It is always $0.49 per CD, not per disc.".  Isn't a CD a disc?

The response:
"You do have enough SwapaCD Money to request this CD. It is always $0.49 per CD, not per disc. However, the CD set is 4 discs, so it will cost 4 credits. The DVD disc DOES count as a separate disc. It is true that we do not allow only DVDs to be swapped on our site, we do allow a DVD disc that is included in a CD release to be swapped."

Thanks, everyone.  I'll send in a message and post back here when I know more!

I like the evil cackling laughter.  :-)  Thanks for the responses!

 So, if a DVD cannot be traded here, why should it need an extra credit?  I guess that's the part I don't understand regarding the credits.

The particular boxed set in question is a 3 disc set, with extra DVD that has video of a few of the songs that are on the CDs.  When I went to accept the offer (it was on my WL and just was offered to me), not only did it want me to pay 4 credits, but it also wanted me to buy more SwapaCD money.  Now, I have $1.67 in my account, which surely would cover the $.49 if it was just per transaction, right?  So why did they system say I needed more? 

If CDs are 1 credit each (plus $.49), and DVDs are not allowed to be swapped here, but additional materials with a CD set are required to be included, then should a 3 CD set with bonus DVD cost 3 credits (plus $1.47) or 4 credits (plus $1.96)?

I tried looking it up in the help center, but I couldn't find it.  (So, if it really is there, I will not be offended by someone pointing me to the correct document!)  :-)

Thanks!

Yes, please use the cardboard!!!  My husband and I send out over 100 of his new CD as holiday gifts this year, using a sleeve that was supposed to protect them.  The ONLY ones that made it without cracking were the couple that had a piece of cardboard to support a photograph.    So frustrating!!

A definite bluegrass fan here...but I don't want to give up those CDs, so I haven't posted them.  :-)

I've been enjoying Eric Dodge - an up & coming artist!
