I would love the ability to remove parts from my "Added To Cart" quantity, without
going into the Checkout screen.

I can increase Quantities however I wish from each seller's "All Items/Newest
Items/Wanted Items" pages, but once I've added them to my cart, I cannot
decrease this value unless I access the Checkout screen. Its odd that I can add
to it, but not subtract on the same screen. It's very easy to add a wrong
part or find the same items cheaper/newer way down the list (especially if the
seller hasn't concotonated their inventory). Flooring the accumulated Cart
value to zero would prevent negative numbers.

Even if I could just "zero" a quantity in my cart it would help speed things
up a bit. Although speed really doesn;t seem to matter much to BL, does it?

Trying to understand. I'm sometimes not too good at it, though

I currently can do just that "remove parts" or increase/decrease amounts, with
two clicks from any page

I’m guessing it’s because you’re viewing one cart (in the store).  Iprice is
using “View all carts” and wants the ability to decrease quantities (or “qauntities”?
) in this “all carts” view.

Aaah, okay!

I'll make the coffee now. Try to wake up those grey cells a little more

Thanks

I understood the question as being in the [Shop] at the [Wanted List] tab, having
just added parts from the wanted list into the shopping cart. At that point you
see the message 'Lot successfully added to shopping cart.' and the amount
in your cart, but you can't remove the items from your cart.

Adding a negative amount would be a nice trick if that were allowed.
Having a link to that lot in your cart would be helpful.
Having a button to delete the lot from your cart would be a solution.
Having an edit control to change the lot at that point would be ideal, if not
cluttering the interface.

You’re right.  I hadn’t read Iprice’s post carefuly.
And I fully blame Popsicle for misleading me!

Yes.  Simplest would be a “delete from cart” button next to the “x in cart” text. 
Negative values are always tricky.

Guilty as charged

Yes. This.

It was the middle of the night when I posted (hence the major typo in the title
), so perhaps I wasn't awake enough to make it more obvious.

Any of those suggestions would be good additions. Negative numbers were countered
by my "flooring" comment - make it impossinle to have a negative value in the
cart itself (if entered value is less than zero, then cart value=zero).
