All,

When I use the auto-select feature when attempting to buy all items from a wanted
list, it brings back too many parts. For Instance, when I select the North Pole
list, it comes back at 2700/1989 (127%) of the list. Is there some sort of error
causing this?

it can happen if you need 5 of a part but the seller requires you to buy in multiples
of say 25.

As said, it can happen with bulk lots.

But also, a percentage higher than 100% doesn’t mean all your items have been
found!!!

Check by using the Wanted Items tab on the left (‘2’ on first pic here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445
).
