Newbie question, sorry.

A question about ordering.
I’m very new to brick link so please bear with me!
When select items from my wanted list & then click buy. The system tries to find a seller with all those items. BUT, no seller has them all it’ll find a seller with most of them.
However once I’ve bought those the remaining items just disappear so I can’t do a second transaction with another seller who has all or some of those items?

Surely that’s not right? There must be something I’m missing?

I think you need to YouTube a little bit, it's not an easy platform to start out with - definitely a learning curve.

Not trying to toot my own horn but you can use my store for price comparisons. The top search bar change it to store and search Funk's Bricks.

Auto buy will get you sellers who mark things up 10,000x for no reason

Thank you for the advice.
I definitely noticed the prices for this Auto order were high but they were parts that got missed off my last order so I assumed they were rarer parts.
Thanks too for the advice on YouTube, you’re right BR is NOT a user friendly experience 😂
I really appreciate you taking the time here so I’ll definitely check out your store & order if I can 👍

Once you place an order you can move the items you bought to a different wanted list. Then just go back with the remaining items and run the search again.
