Wishlist Suggestions

DadsAfol

Having used the wish list to buy many times now, I have three suggestions to speed up the buying process.

1. When browsing wish list items in a store, if you click into a matching item where the seller has both new and used lots of that part, the page prompts you to add both the new and used lots to cart, despite explicitly setting the wish list to new only. Not sure if this is a bug or intentional. If intentional, can we get a "wish list preferences" to override this?

2. When a seller has multiple matching lots to a wish list item, the page prompts the buyer to add the wanted quantity multiple times. (I know, stores should consolidate lots, but duplicates still happen). Rather than adding the wanted quantity on all matching lines, can it add only the first matching line and set other lines to zero to add? Even better, if the wanted list has 10x wanted, and lot #1 has 8 available and lot#2 has 5 available, set line 1 to 8x and line 2 to 2x (the remainder of the wanted quantity after line 1 is added).

3. Another item for "wish list preferences". Currently, if the seller has matching lots sold only in multiple quantities, the behavior of the wizard is to round down and the behavior of the manual add to cart page is no rounding. For example, seller sells item in multiple of 2. Wanted list needs only 1. In that example, the wizard will add zero to cart. As a buyer, I'd rather have the extra piece than manually add the item or find it in a different store. I would prefer the wizard to round up to the next available quantity multiple. On the manual add to cart page, I would like to see the same behavior - round up the add to cart quantity to be the next multiple above the wanted quantity.

Big ditto on your #3! As a new buyer it took me a long time to figure out why some common parts on my wishlists, qty 1, remained unallocated when several stores had it that I was going to buy other parts from.

@Lawrence, since you were willing to do the relationships enhancement, I thought I'd bump this suggestion from January. Particularly #3 to round quantity up not down. Thanks!

Just to clarify, is #3 referring to the magic buying tool?

#1 should now be fixed

Yes, the automagic fill-my-cart tool. But this also affects just browsing your wish list in a store - the quantity gets pre filled on the page with your wanted quantity. But if the store has multiples that don't match your wanted quantity, you have to manually type over the quantity.

Thanks for fixing the used showing up with new!

@Lawrence, while we are on the topic of the magic buying tool, it doesn't seem to like giant wish list. I tried it with a list with over 4k lots and it didn't like it returning "internal error".
