I didn't say it does. As you should be able to gather from my post, all I was expecting from them at the least was a notification of some sort -- nothing more, nothing less. (The part about reservation was just me hoping against hope.
)
But this is a case of persistent storage. In fact, when I saw this I was at another computer (i.e. not in my home).
That's the likely reason there. I would expect that if you log in from home you'll find--
voila! voici!-- the shopping cart to be showing with whatever you left on there from the last time.
I know that if I log in to Arkivmusic, I can see my wish list from any computer, but my shopping cart only from my home computer (or whichever computer I use to build up the cart). Apparently they store the wish list on their computer but the shopping cart is only on your computer.
ETA--come to think of it, not only is it computer specific but it's also browser specific--if I use Opera, I can't see the cart I made using another browser, for example.
