Ok, my three cards are on their way:

One to Lisboa, One to Madrid and one to Helsinki.

At least one of those is an ebt-member, before I send the card

You don't get the addresses automatically when you register yourself, you must ask them to be sent to you. There's link in the front page that says "send a postcard".

The 3rd one was from USA, I don't know why but this adress and the confirmation of the register went to he "Junk Mail"

and the two other adresses went to the Inbox

Today I received two cards: one from USA and the other from Germany.

So far I have received 6 cards altogether. I have sent 12 cards: 9 arrived and 3 still travelling. I had some doubts about receiving cards in the beginning, but this is really working!

@suzyq: There aren't very many postcrossers from Switzerland, so your card is something special.

What do you write on the card?

When I send a card to an euro country, I always write www.eurobilltracker.com somewhere on the card. Unless I know that the receiver already is an EBTer. I'll do that as long as there's no complaints about spamming. I read their forum regularly.

From the postcrossing forum you can get some useful ideas what to write on the card. You can write whatever pops into your mind: what's the weather like in your country; what's happening in your country/city; what's on the card you're sending or just a simple season's greetings. Only the sky is the limit. Be creative!

Received my first card today, from Pittsburgh, USA. Also have three addresses on the table waiting for a card.

I only received two cards so far - from UK and Switzerland. Have sent many but only 4 arrived so far, it's taking damn long for them to be registered - I doubt they'd take that long to arrive (so much as I've sent mail everywhere, I know how long it takes..

)

Have you already noticed that it's now possible to have 5 cards travelling at the same time?
