To put a bow on this issue, I got a call from support at YYE and he said that it is NOT supposed to have done what it did to me last night. He said very specifically that the old site did it as a part of how it worked but that the new site was NOT supposed to take it from your cart during the check out phase.
He said that they just learned about the problem about a week ago and are looking into whats wrong.
But, there was nothing he could do about my item taken from me during check out.
This is my last post and I am deleting my account, just wanted to let other users know they acknowledge it is a problem, shouldn’t have happened, and they are trying to figure it out.
