    Default Taken from my cart

    I do not like the feature with shopping that items can run out and something removed from your cart before you can finish your order. Would be nice if we had some time to finish shopping.

    Loved the sale but only found one thingto buy today. Love addi g to my stash. Thanks Missouri Star

    I have not had something taken from my cart, but I have had my cart taken! I often leave it at the end of a crowded isle to go down and pick something up and come back and it is gone!

    If I'm understanding you correctly, that is the way all online shopping that I have ever done is. It's not yours until you pay for it. Otherwise, people could tie up merchandise in their carts forever.

    Sorry if I misunderstood your comment.

    I'm in the middle on this one. While I do understand that you can't leave items in your online shopping cart for long periods of time and still expect them to be there days later, I do think there should be a time period where they stay put while you continue to shop. I sometimes take hours to do my online shopping in one store as it takes time to search and scroll around to find all the matching and coordinating items I need. (Plus, life sometimes gets in the way and I have to step away from the computer, then come back and continue . . .) So once it's put in your cart, it would be nice if it could stay there at least for a few hours without them being removed to sell to someone else. (And, no, I am not a programmer, so I have no idea what it would take to build this into your selling/cart system. But it would be nice if it could be! )

    How about a feature where you go ahead and pay for it but ask them to hold it for like a two hour period in case you want to add something else to it. Don't sellers do that on ebay? I seem to remember somewhere that they say you can combine items for shipping. I don't know how confusing that would be. I hear that their online store is very busy.

    I certainly would not expect any online merchant to keep things there for days but I would like a couple hours. Like purchasing an airline ticket. Your reservation is good for a certain period of time. Or buying a concert ticket you have a bit of time to hold your seat. My recent experience was within 30 minutes. That would mean I need to pay after picking each item. That would be a lot of shipping costs

    But it is what it is. I was just ranting.

    Too bad they don't do combined shipping or a feature where you commit to buy but can continue shopping. One thing I think MSQC is missing is a feature where it shows how many are left to purchase like many of the other online shops have. You allocate X amount showing of charms, layer cakes, etc and you know how many are left. Even with the yardage I've seen sellers show how many are available and how many are left to purchase. Easy to know if you snooze, you lose.
