| REASON for suggestion: - to improve buyer shopping experience.
PROBLEM: - items in buyers cart are not necessarily available at check out due
to another buyer placing the same item(s) in their cart and checking out first.
This can be quite frustrating if these items were what you went shopping for
and either: -
1) Due to store minimum buy requirements you were looking for other parts to
make up the minimum
Or
2) You had a complex shopping list
COMPARISON – With real world shopping - items in your shopping cart are certain
to be yours assuming you go to the checkout and pay.
SOLUTION: - Add a reserved function to the cart, so that the first buyer to place
an item from a store in their cart makes it unavailable to other buyers.
This function should have a default “time out” of perhaps one hour (similar to
abandoning a physical shopping cart in a shop – the items being returned to stock)
OTHER BENEFIT: - This will also have a lesser but beneficial aspect for the shop
owner, as currently, the only way a buyer will be sure to obtain items is to
place (sometimes) multiple additions to orders – which depending on the inventory
management system employed, can make for a more complicated and confusing order.
I believe this will be of benefit to the whole community!
PLEASE consider voting YES, AND adding a comment to keep this suggestion in view
and thus gain more votes!

| How about a temporary home page with bare bones info in several languages?
with a click here box to enter the real home page
It's possible many haven't looked at the forum, judging by the angry messages
that seem to be coming in.
Just a thought, regards Graham
