| Can someone explain why the wanted list system finder adds more pieces than there
is in my wanted list? It added almost 300 extra pieces and is at 110%. Is this
a mess up or is it because it is actually cheaper with this method becuase it
is cheaper to do so when you bulk and have a lot of excesses than to buy the
right amount of pieces.

| They're talking about the Auto-Select feature in the Wanted List Buy page.
You can end up with more parts than wanted because of bulk lots that usually
are cheaper per parts. Of course you may not need the exact amount of the bulk
lot, so you end up with extra parts.
Check all the created carts carefully, the bulk amounts show as (x[bulk quantity])
next to the quantity.

Indeed.
And as to know if it’s “actually cheaper,” well, it may not be. What it is is
“better,” as defined for the algorithm: a combnation of cheaper parts, fewer
stores, stores with lower estimated shipping costs, and “better” stores (feedback-wise).
Be also aware that it may show 110% and still not buy all your parts: if you
need 4xA and 1xB and it buys 5xA, it will say 5/5 = 100% when it’s really 4/5
+ 1 = 80% + 1 extra.

| Yup, always expand the list on the Wanted Items tab to make sure there's
nothing left unfulfilled.
