Sorry for a basic question, but I'm starting to use the Wanted List" for
a couple of projects.

Is there any way as a "buyer", I can upload or input my entire extra parts inventory,
and that autofills into the wanted lists?

Or just fill out a form of what I already have?

If there is a way, I'm not finding it

Maybe Rebrickable.com does that.

You can upgrade your account to seller without opening the store and use the
inventory for personal use.

Achievable but slow

Start a new wanted list called "mycollection", whatever

Import all thing via file from from brickset or rebrickable or brickstock, whatever.
Move all amounts from "want" box to "have" box, and since BL doesn't do that,
do it one-by-one (warning: slow). see pic

If you don't import from a file, just input all collection one-by-one (aaah,
slow) and write directly the owned amount of each part in "have" leaving want=0.

When you start a new project you:
- clone the list into "moc1"
- use the clone only
- set want=0 to all parts at the very beginning
- add your wishes into "want" boxes
- never touch "have"
- when finished,
--- if want is less than have, you already have enough, BL ignores that.
--- if want is more than have, you need more, BL searches exacly the missing
amount x = want minus have.

after every order, you keep the list updated, now this is something BL can bo,
button "apply order".
