[ARC5] [Milsurplus] [Vintage-Military-RADAR] A New eBay Screing

It is most definitely possible to "uncart" a mistaken entry.  I have some vision problems caused by what is equivalent to a stroke in my left eye (clot moved from somewhere to the macula and cut off blood supply).  I meant to put a receiver in my watch list but apparently hit "add to cart" by mistake.  I simply went back to the cart and removed the addition.  I believe that the "cart" is a means to temporarily store items until a "buying trip" is complete to consolidate purchases and get a combined invoice. And the item which I had put in the cart instead of my watch list was a Buy-It-Now and I still backed out!
