Anybody have this issue??? I have a running list of wanted items all the time.
of course when I recieve an order I eliminate those items. However, I find that
items dissapear fom my list all the time???? Things I am waiting to order and
may be a bit rare and stay
on the list for awhile...and then poof there no longer on my wanted list?? So
do items drop off after a designated time if you don't order right away?

I can't say that I've ever had this happen. I don't have large wanted
lists at all. My largest would be around 50 lots, but I do have one that I've
had for well over 6 months that has two lots in it that hasn't been affected.
Maybe it was a errant cursor click when you were processing a previous order?

I think that's the only reasonable explanation, especially as the OP seems
to remove items rather than updating have quantities - the selection checkboxes
don't clear when you make a change, which means they could easily be deleting
a number of items without noticing there are one or two more already selected.

I've had a number of decent sized wanted lists there for some time without
anything disappearing unexpectedly. I recently tidied up my lists so don't
know how many lots the oldest ones had, but I have a 599 lot list which has been
there for well over 3 years and still has the correct number of lots and total
items.

I have the opposite problem, I forget to delete things after I order them and
then can't figure out why I put it on my wanted list anymore.

One thing I've encountered at times is updating a wanted list in the few
minutes immediately prior to the daily maintenance. After the maintenance finishes
my changes have disappeared.

It's intermittent and probably due to server load in those few minutes -
the update request probably gets obliterated in the maintenance. Or there's
something that gets restored from a backup.

If I was adding parts when this occurs, they disappear after the maintenance.
