  Thanks for the input and explaining Open orders a little better.
The orders were from a UK buyer to my UK store and for a few low value items
well below £150 so I don’t believe it to be VAT related.

As the seller I didn’t change the status at all. I’m confused and the buyer is
confused why when the buyer added the 3rd batch it didn’t go into the open order
but created a new order.

Might it be because the status was set to Updated or is that normal?

Updated is normal, because the buyer "updated" the order when adding
a 2nd batch.

And anyway, Updated isn't a "closing" status unlike: Paid, Packed,
Shipped, Received or Completed (of course).

Again, I've never seen a glitch from BrickLink on adding to an order. There's
some logical reason.

It could also be due to some limitation in weight, size, min, max or such in
your available Shipping Methods?

  Hi -

There's nothing to do to allow an open order.

ANY shipping method that doesn't involve instant payment or any order which
isn't paid leaves by default the order opened (if the seller doesn't
change the status to Paid, Packed)...

There's no glitch I'm aware of.

But this may happen if there's a change of tax, like VAT.

If a buyer outside UK places an order for less than 150€, VAT will be charged
to him.

If he adds more and the order is now over 150€ then the first order may be automatically
"closed" because the VAT treatment would be different.

I'm not 100% sure of this, but I guess it could be the problem.

In your case, no, you can't "merge" or add to any order (luckily
for buyers).

If buyer didn't pay anything and it's not complicated, maybe cancel 1
or both orders and ask the buyer to place a first batch of MORE than 150€? After
this, he can leave and add to the order as long as he wishes.

Please be sure buyer's aware he'll have to pay for VAT (around 20% in
EU) - as some may not be aware and could refuse the parcel delivery - return
being at your cost

HTH?

  Wondering if anyone can help me to setup or check my option for Open Orders please.
I'm a new seller, and believe I've setup the option for buyers to place
an Open Order. I did this from a shared shipping option I copied.

I have a buyer (who is very patient!) who has created an open order. He added
some parts which showed as Batch 1. He added more parts which appeared in the
same Order number as Batch 2. So far so good.

At this stage the Order Status changed to "Updated". I assume this was
done automatically.

The buyer then added more parts, but they didn't appear in that open order.
Instead a whole new order number was created. The status of that new order
is "Pending".

So I'm not sure if this is some strange glitch that hasn't added another
batch to the already open order, or if this is something I haven't setup
correctly. The Buyer would now like to complete his order(s). What do I/we
do?

1: Is there a way to cancel the 2nd order and fix some setting so that when
he re-adds the part it is added to the original order.
2: Do I just send two invoices for the two orders with a total value that covers
the shipping as a single package?

Grateful for any advice, thanks.

In the two screenshots it looks like one shop is pricing in EUR and that price
is converted to NOK and is sorted correctly. The other looks like it's pricing
in NOK, which is converted in EUR and is sorted incorrectly. Exchange rates are
the same 0.9911.63 is same as 2.3527.50

I have only noticed this behaviour with shop's from Norway. Why is this?

NOK, Nokia Oyj shares?

NOK NOK, whos there?

A Norwegian?

Are maybe someone doubling down on Nokia Oyj shares

Okay, I get it, Norwegian Krone Euro conversions have been somewhat wonky for
reasons outside the sphere of influence of BL and third party, and beyond whatever
site issue there might also be.
